a Little update on my lovely 86 hatch

[L3G10N]

Almost 2 years have passed since i've saw my hatch the last time.

[Busted_Blue]

coool. I wanna see the b20a in the engine bay cause thats what I'm more interested in. I hope it looks well. How come you didn't see it for 2 years?

[JFreddy]

What is that lip off of?

[gfrg88]

lookin good. put that lip on so we can see how it looks:)

[HondaBoy]

hmm, this looks interesting. hope to see more pix of progress. looks like it'll be really nice when its finished up.

[thegreatdane]

That's one huge wrist watch!!

[L3G10N]

Busted_Blue: The reason is, i've lost my job. I wasn't able to pay the job. So, the guy keeped my car 'till i have the money to continue this project. He's a really cool guy! For the B20A, i'll get my gasket kit soon. One of my friend ship the kit from Belgium. I can't wait!!

JFreddy: a Secret that HondaMan87 told me :lock:

gfrg88 and Hondaboy: More pix will come soon :rockon:

Tnx for your comments allz!

JFreddy: a Secret that HondaMan87 told me

Well tell us all lol lets not have it a Secret any more

I know it a cars bumper cut inhalf and upside down but i dont know what car maybe a BMW ???

[geesnow]

looks good, but i bet youll have a problem with cracks where you shaved the roof. thats a stress point on the car. but good luck anyway!

[L3G10N]

The guy did a few other roof shaved like this and no crack since 2 years. It's not some putty. It's welded.

[bullard123]

Man that lip does look good. Any progress?

[thegreatdane]

Yea, looks like a sweet project.

[L3G10N]

Some problem with the front lip at the moment. Now the driver side is finished too. We are still working on the Front lip. We still didn't find what to do for the rear bumper as lip... We will put a hood scoop too for the Dual Weber DCOM who will be on the B20A.

The guy who's working on my car did this 1991 accord too. It was for his daughter(another member of the Quebec Accord Club with me and Carotman)

He did a lot of custom for this car. He work soooo FINE!!!

[NXRacer]

wow thats some fast and furious shit right there.

[L3G10N]

yeah it's really too much for me. But it's still a nice job he did!

[jigga225]

man your hatch is making some nice progress. I think primer is gangsta.
eh, i'm not feeling that 4G, however, dont like this kit and all the stuff flaring out at me.

[88accordhb]

your hatch reminds me exactly of josias's early stages. looks sick! that white 4th gen looks like a robot.

[bullard123]

Man that 4g is sweet. It would look better imo with some clear/red tails and that hood scoop centered. That guy does spme really nice custom work though.

What happened to the doors? In the primered pics they look nice and flush to the door. But in the final pics, they are indented (not flat and even with the rest of the door). Was this a planned decision, or did you use bondo/fiberglass and it "sunk" in.

I thought from the earlier pictures that you welded in metal strips.

Peace.

[gfrg88]

the white car and the primered one in the earlier pics are two different cars....ones a hatch 3gen and the other is a coupe 4gen :kekeke:

[88accordhb]

[w00tw00t111]

[L3G10N]

yep josias is one of the 3g pioneers man, his car is a thing of beauty if youre into showcars.

I am! My car will be a show car too. I just can't wait :sad2:

[frankie89]

nice... man it feels nice to post since i aint been around for like 2 weeks hey guys whats new...(sorry to change da topic.)

[mr eff]

looks very nice chief!

those wheels are huge.

are you installing a new rear bumper? seems like the car will be lopsided with the new lip and nothing to drag the ass down ... attractively, of course!

[L3G10N]

Mr Eff: nah, i won't change de rear bumper. I'll put a lip, just as for the front and we will mold it. You'll see ;)

As for the wheels, yeah they are HUGE!

[blahblahblah]

That guy dose really nice work...Hope it all owrks out..

O.And the lip is one of our bumpers cut and flipped.........I think...Sorry...I had to tell

[L3G10N]

O.And the lip is one of our bumpers cut and flipped.........I think...Sorry...I had to tell

everyones already know this :hs:

[gfrg88]

lol i didnt know that:(

[mr eff]

sorta off topic, but looking at the hatch all sanded down, the tail light housing looks really good with bare metal like that. has anyone seen someone try a delorean-style third gen? heh

edit: this picture:

http://www.clubaccordquebec.com/temp/l3g10n/hatchproject/DSC00971sm.jpg

[L3G10N]

MrEff, you should add a pic of the dolorean mod that you're talking about.

[spades27]

it must be a newer accord then not a 3g right

[L3G10N]

Spades27: nah, not an accord front lip. As someone else wrote in the post, it'S a bumper, cuted in a half and reversed.

[spades27]

ya i know but what bumper is it from thats what im trying to find out i know what the side skirt is from

[1320boy]

Cavilier Z24. Looks to be an 89 or some sort. But i reconize Z24 side anywhere.

[L3G10N]

he's not talking about the side. He's trying to find wich bumper i took to do my front lip

[PortugalFocus]

http://www.clubaccordquebec.com/temp/wella/accordbiais.JPG


Holy roof scoops Batman! I can't get over roof scoops.... Alot of nice work just so much :rice: it could feed all the kids in those Sally Struthers commercials

[catalin]

MrEff, you should add a pic of the dolorean mod that you're talking about.


A Delorean is an older sport car with gull wing doors. You can search for it on the net, but if you can remember it was featured on the Back to the Future movies.

It's made of aluminum and has no finish on it at all. The Accord looks just like it, which thinking about it now, it actully looks pretty cool.

[L3G10N]

I know what is a delorean lol, but what MrEff wrote wasn'T clear for me.

It was a SOOOO long time since last update :sad2:
So, here's some update of the project. Slowly but she will be a soooo nice babe after! :)

So here's the wide rear fenders. The 18" was out of the fender by 2mm before. Now i'll be able to add my wheel spacer of 1/4 inch without any fear

[BDaccordguy]

OOOO.. im definitely liking the new fender flares... looks hot.

[gfrg88]

im really liking hte look of the car man

[Deadhead]

wow.... some nice work you've done, what color are you going to be painting her?

[L3G10N]

the new HotHues GunMetal

[EricW]

Looking Good.

[thegreatdane]

Nice work with the fenders! Were they custom made or did you use a fender piece from another car? Making a custom bumper?

[L3G10N]

they are custom made. For the front and rear bumper, i am using a budy club(rear) modded and a SF1(front) modded too to respect the shape of the car. Both bumper came for 90-93 accord.

[maxoutracer]

What happened to the doors? In the primered pics they look nice and flush to the door. But in the final pics, they are indented (not flat and even with the rest of the door). Was this a planned decision, or did you use bondo/fiberglass and it "sunk" in.

Peace.

what u smoking.... 2 different car were talking about!

[mkymonkey]

wow an old quote^


anyway....looks good, now what type of engine do you have in there? do you have the b20 yet?

[L3G10N]

wow an old quote^


anyway....looks good, now what type of engine do you have in there? do you have the b20 yet?

yeah i already have a B20A with manual transmission. He will be runned with dual SK Racing Carb 40mm tuned by TWN Induction. And i'll buy another spare B20A in a few weeks. We have a lot of them here.

[L3G10N]

Again, a little project update! This time, Front and Rear bumper!
The rear one is almost done. What's left to do is to cut the kind of tooth cause i hate this. After this, it will only need some minor touch up. The bumped needed a lot of work. As Hondaman87 told in his post, the bumper is 4" too long on the side. It come from a 4th gen Accord. But well, the rear one is almost done!

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC01911.jpg
Now about the front one. He's on the car only to see what's needed to modify. He's not yet started! As you can see, he have a yellow tape. The part behind this tape need to be cut to give the car a great shape to the wing and let the 18" get in there easily. The front bumper is SOOOOOO round compared with the OEM one. So, it will be impossible to get the bumper "square" as the OEM. The corner light get almost over the bumper.... So, we will work to modify the bumper to get a bigger corner without destroying the general look of the bumper. Where you can see the horn, will be filled with a fog light. Can't be better than Hondaman87 did! (props to him as always!!!) There's A LOT of work to fit this 90-93 accord bumper there and keeping a great look. AS IS right now, the headlight can't close. The bumper get under the light too far.... Hondaman87, what did you do?!?!??! What have you changed to get this awesome look?!?!

oooooohhhh jesus whats next...........

[L3G10N]

oooooohhhh jesus whats next...........

what's wrong?

[Bglad420]

Oh nothing just that your molesting that hatch in ways not ment to be is all..... But hey props for the work and effort your putting into it, being a fabber I know what it takes, I just dont get why people put big bulking, non matching body kits on their cars with 50 million air vents in them. You know with all those holes you just ruined and aerodynamics of the car, your forcing air into a brick wall..........But if you like it thats what matters. So again props for the work and effort. And good luck with your project.

[L3G10N]

And good luck with your project.

as i can see, you have just post without any reading. :toilet:

the front bumper was supposed to be modded to respect the OEM look(square curves) but since to do that, it will cost me 2000$cdn, i just decided to mods the front bumper to get the better look i can get. As i wrote, AGAIN, and you don't even read, the bumper is on the car JUST TO SEE WHAT need to be changed on. And yet AGAIN, the hole of the bumper will be filled with a fog light. The only hole who won't be filled with anything except grill is the center. But.... wait, the OEM bumper have the same hole at the same place. Well, yeah, i am forcing air into a brick wall... just as Honda did it 20 years ago.

:Owned2:

Read the text dude. Don't reply after looking pics. Text can explain lots of stuff. And you are talking against newb on other post.... :wtf: You read just as 'em :wave:

Anyway, the topic is not about you, it's about the car itself and i know that this kind of mods is not for everyone. And I am really happy of this! in other ways... the world would be sooooooo boring.

[Bglad420]

No I'm not down talking your car, "to each there own" as been said manytimes before on this forum. I give you props for your work, and effort, and I hope it turns out well for you. Its just not my kind of cake.....And I did read the rest and from what I see well a picture is worth a thousand words....I saw your rear bumper and your side skirts I know where your going with it.........I cant post and say it looks good if I think it doesn't I was being nice and keeping to myself with the rice comments, and I still will so again I will comliment you on your hard work. Oh and BTW Honda had a team of 30 engineers designing the Accord, all vents are directed to the RADIATOR only, and as for the other two, they are either blocked, or fogs are installed. And if your using that bumper to see what it looks like, and I see it as a finished product on the car........bahhhh. Cant bullshit me, I see the 3m green masking tape on the wheel well where your going to cut it............

[L3G10N]

no need to say more. already all explained

[gfrg88]

nice work dude!!! thats looking good, cant wait to see it finished

[Acid X]

Wow. Looks great. The rear bumper is pretty big though... But i love how you made wider wheel flares.

Too bad that you can't shape the front bumper to the square-ish look of the car, though... Oh well, it should look better than most considering the side marker lights don't stick out over the front bumper because it's too round like some re-fitted body kits.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

engine pics plze

[gfrg88]

oh yeah any engine mods??? get some pics on that too....

[carotman]

The car is supposed to receive a Webber powered B20A. I guess I'll have the task to put it in :D. I hope everything turns out well. There is sure alot of work in the body tough I can't say I agree with everything that's been done to it.

:bowrofl: carotman! For sure, i'll ask your help but i won't let you have the task for yourself :rofl:

I am really unsure about the front bumper. Look really good on hondaman87 car but...... The first idea was the best i think. Anyway, too late :D

SQ and GFRG: as carot says, The car will have a B20A with dual weber. The car is completly stripped. Nothing inside the car and nothing inside the hood for now.

And i am still waiting for my Carbon Hood from ClassicAccord who look to have disapear completly after getting my money.....:wtf:

[Cheeseburger]

nice job dude cant wait to see it done...

[L3G10N]

for engine pics, go there http://www.cardomain.com/ride/396433 Page 1 and 7

[A18A]

im loving that front bumper, would be cool if it was squarish, but that doesn't matter, its still hott. i like them side skirts too :D, not overboard,
but why is it from certain views the front bumper looks like its on perfectly and other views it looks liike its half of the car?!?!?

[L3G10N]

the bumper's not started yet. It's still as i received it without any custom. He's not even bolted on the car. So, he was free to move when i was taking pictures. Maybe it's just this. You'll get your answers in the next photo i'll take.

[bullard123]

Good job man. I really like what you are doing to the hatch. I've got a bodykit coming for my hatch also.......Not gonna give it away right now but I'll post pics when its finished. I think hatches look best with bodykits and I appreciate all of your efforts. As long as you like it go for it man!

[spnrx]

Sick I understand about the "Non-Squarishness" of it but I like it. T don't really care for the rear bumper but I think it moves the look along. Congrats and good luck!

[L3G10N]

bullard, show me :D

sprnx, don't forget that the front bumper is still unmodified. It will change!

Distributor and Intake are already gone to Carotman.

[Deadhead]

So your parting out a PGM-FI B20A and going with a dual weber carbed b20??

WHY????

lol, car look sick, but you should put the FI motor in it!

[L3G10N]

i don't have time to waste with Fi system when dual carb weber will be more performant than Fi when properly tuned!

[Deadhead]

lol, ok... I hate carbs...

I love FI

but... ok... looks like a fun project and it's coming along sweet!

[carotman]

i don't have time to waste with Fi system when dual carb weber will be more performant than Fi when properly tuned!

Never heard of ITB?

Better and simpler than carbs that require adjustments if it's raining outside.

[MacWorld]

carbs are cool, you spend 3 hours setting them in the afternoon at 25C and the car performs well. then at 18h00 the cars starts to go all jerky. the day after, the car won't start at 6h00 to go to work since there is humidity in the air. back from work at 16h, the car starts but run roughly since yesterday the atmospheric pressure was 2kpa lower than today.

the next weekend at the dragway with your "fully tuned carb's" the car sux ass and you are passed by a Lada running the stock 1.6 8v since the day is not sunny and it's only 20C outside and your engine runs too cold

yeah, carb's run fine... for the EXACT same conditions, you spend the rest of the time with a not-fully-tuned car or fine tuning it.

prefer FI, i can drive the car. even old CIS outperforms carbs.

ask a carb guy what is "fuel atomisation" and he'll look funny at you.

[L3G10N]

ITB is FI.

The car won't run under a rainy day. How boring to read since we already had this conversation a lot of time in the past...

useless post.

[L3G10N]

Here's the only last pic of my car. This image is HUGE but it will let you see how the front wheel housing was so nicely done! I've put the taillight to see how big the rear bumper will look and let me tell you all, the rear look awesome! But I am Still scared about the front one :S

What's left now? Rear wing and paint :D

[HondaBoy]

thats going to be really nice when its done. are you going to get some new rims or ride on those MR7's? i think you should get some new rims that'll flow with the cars new look.

[L3G10N]

Hondaboy: maybe next year. Not sure. I will repaint 'em for another color but i'll ride 'em at least one year. The car cost me 4000$cdn more than i had expected. And the cumston B20A will cost me again another 4000$cdn. So, rims are not my priority for now. Engine will go first :)

[bullard123]

bullard, show me :D
sprnx, don't forget that the front bumper is still unmodified. It will change!

Here ya go. Its making progress.
http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/8742/pict00610ia.th.jpg

[L3G10N]

you bought the same bumper as me and hondaman87. Why don't you put the bumper completly in?

[Cheeseburger]

cant wait to see it done

[bullard123]

you bought the same bumper as me and hondaman87. Why don't you put the bumper completly in?
Yeah its the streetfighter front bumper but its from a 90-93 integra. The bumper is not completely in because it needs to have some refiberglassing done around the area of the headlights. I'm not working on it myself its in the shop. I just stop by everyday to check the progress. But my friend Justin (The Asian Inside) its helping out with a lot of the work.

[L3G10N]

FINALLY!!! She's at the end of the body process. Paint is done. Still missing the rear wing but she will be on the car for sure in the end.

So, here's some pics for you allz!

So finally,first idea of color have changed. In the begening i wanted a kind of GunMetal with Red reflect. But considering a blue interior.... So, i;ve changed for HotHues GunMetal with a lot of metal flake. But The guy at the bodyshop told me to let him do what he was thinking the best for my car. So, he suggest me a Gloss Black. I was like: "we can see black car all around...." But he told me to wait to see the final product with his own touch. So, he painted the car Gloss Black.

After seeing this, I was like, DAMN!!! This fit an 86 so perfectly! But the process wasn't finished. The car cannot stay just black like this.

So Matt follow his idea and here's the final result!

In the dark, she's black and dark!

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/IMG_1140.jpg

If we light on, we can see some white reflect on the body. Nah it's not the light itself and it's not a wall reflect!

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/IMG_1141.jpg

But what is this?




Gloss Black with White Pearled!!!!!!

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/IMG_1142.jpg
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/IMG_1143.jpg

Damn that I love it!!!!! SOOOOOOO much!!! Getting white reflect on a black car.... this is just sick!

What's left? getting the car back home and reassemble everything with electric and disk brake conversion!

[Deckki]

OMG that's just beatiful :bow:
Great job

[bullard123]

Wow that is nice. Its funny how we both have our cars in the shop at the same time getting simliar work done. I'll upate my thread also to show the progress on my hatch. That black is going to look sick with those gunmetal rims. Sweet!

[carotman]

Awesome work. Can't wait to see it in person!

[L3G10N]

That black is going to look sick with those gunmetal rims. Sweet!

rims won"t stay gunmetal. i am getting 'em painted bronze or gold.

[HostileJava]

I didn't really see the white reflect till you got up close, I'm sure the camera doesn't really do it justice either.

[L3G10N]

just look at the first pic of the flash, center is the flash, but around is the white pearl reflect.

[Cheeseburger]

sweet bro!!!

[Legend_master]

damn dude that color is clean, keep us up to date G/L with the project

[gfrg88]

dude that looks so sweeeeet :rockon:

[L3G10N]

tnx yallz! it's really appreciated!

[thegreatdane]

That's a wicked paintjob! Cant wait to see pics of the car fully assembled.

[accordrollingon18z]

nice car man love the color

[oldschool3g]

awsome paintjob dude...what color is that looks kinda black but metalic at the same time

[Cheeseburger]

more pics more pics!!!!

[L3G10N]

awsome paintjob dude...what color is that looks kinda black but metalic at the same time


As i wrote on another post... like IN the post of the paint lol, i wrote that the paint is Gloss Black WITH white pearl into the clear!:slap:

[bullard123]

any updates on the hatchy?

[L3G10N]

nop. The body is 100% done. But i can't take it back home. The bodyshop decided that it cost me 3000$cdn more. And he told me this in the end. He knew that i was not able to spend more than 1000$ more... but he did it... So i am looking for a deal with him.....

[bobafett]

hey the hatch looks absolutely awesome!

i know your patience with this project will pay off!

[speedpenguin]

nop. The body is 100% done. But i can't take it back home. The bodyshop decided that it cost me 3000$cdn more. And he told me this in the end. He knew that i was not able to spend more than 1000$ more... but he did it... So i am looking for a deal with him.....
Wow, that kinda sucks.
But, if you're building a show car, you've gotta go all the way when it comes to things like paint. That's seriously hot.

[L3G10N]

as i said, the car is done. paint and everything. I know for a show car i need to go further than other peoples.... but take a look to all the pics.. Remember that the shaving was already did before i bring my car to this body shop. Don't tell me that you are seeing a car with a 9000$cdn body job....

IMO, i don't think so...

[speedpenguin]

That's how much it cost? I knew you said he overcharged you but damn! I thought you just meant you got more work done than you intended, I didn't know it cost that much. I must have read something wrong.

[L3G10N]

nah he did all i asked for.... The price is just ridiculus! OVERpriced....

[speedpenguin]

:werd:
Ask some other shops what they would have priced and then try to talk him down to that.

[L3G10N]

already did. Not working. For now, i am waiting about a last deal from him. After this, it will be in front of the judge.

[catalin]

Nice! I saw that color on a Skyline I worked on a little while, it looks great in person. Especially in the sun.

[bullard123]

nah he did all i asked for.... The price is just ridiculus! OVERpriced....
Man that sucks. I know he could cut you a deal somehow. After all when you get it back it will be advertisement for him. People will see your car and ask who did it? And that will be more business for him.

[L3G10N]

just to let you know all. We finally got a deal between me and him. She's getting back home this sunday!!!!!!

tnx for all your support!

[bullard123]

Thats cool./ It sucks having to wait for your ride but believe me when you get it back it will be worth the wait! I can't stop at a red light without heads turning. It feels good bro!

[L3G10N]

i won't drive it 'till another lapse of time. a lot of work to do on.

[L3G10N]

It was the day! paid the bodyshop and called a towing. These point was perfect.

We start to put the car on the towing.

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02145.jpg

Like we tought, same if the car look like a truck, it's too low from the back. The back of the car can touch the ground easily.... but the front was OK since no engine is in the car.

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02146.jpg
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02147.jpg
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02148.jpg

We got the car back on the ground to make the rear bumper higher.

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02150.jpg

So we puted some 2x4...

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02152.jpg
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02153.jpg

Not enough high... add one more.

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02154.jpg

A third one!

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02155.jpg

There it is!!
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02157.jpg

[L3G10N]

Some plastic cause of the rain!

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02163.jpg

But have left REALLY fast!
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02165.jpg
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02166.jpg

Got back home.... I discovered some scratch on the car!!!!!!
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02167.jpg

After seeing this... i was thinking it was the same on the driver's side....

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02169.jpg
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02170.jpg
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02171.jpg

Damn F*ckig god!!!!!!! At least, it's not too much visible.... It will be easy to repair when the car will go back for is last buffing.

Like it wasn't enough... the towing cost me 300$cdn beside 225$ who was supposed.......:rocket:

[L3G10N]

Well, forget about all this and talk about the beast!!!

Remember my custom tail lights? I definitly not regret my moove !!! Look by yourself!
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02179.jpg

The front bumper job to be sure that the corner don't get OVER the bumper like some other pics i saw before (bullard, your car still REALLY awesome same if I talk about this)
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02180.jpg

This is REALLY black all the way!
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02181.jpg

The rear widebody was not really visible with the 18" on but you can CLEARLY see it with the 13" on!
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02182.jpg
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02183.jpg

My sedan JDM folding mirror transformed in coupe one!
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02185.jpg

And here is the pearl into the black
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02187.jpg

Again the pearl in the black with a view of the corner who's still not over the bumper!
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02188.jpg

More to come soon!!!

[Cheeseburger]

[Legend_master]

dam that sucks about the scratches on the car, but overall the car looks really clean. i cant wait to see her done


WOW, those lights looks so clean. That car is going to be quit pimp when it is all put together. The color was a great choice.

[gfrg88]

damn sucks about the scratches, but it sill looks really nice, cant wait to you get the engine in there and its all done :rockon:

[MessyHonda]

that color is good...i want to paint mine black but then i dont have money or time...i cant wait for the finished product

[catalin]

Still looking great! Wish you were a short drive away from me, I'd love to see it in person. Especially the bumpers. I have to do something with mine sometime.

[bullard123]

Wait a minute dude I don't understand. You paid him the money to get your car back. Why isn't the car totally done?

[L3G10N]

the last thing to do from him is one last shot of buffering. We both wanted to wait in case of... maybe i'll did some minor scratch when i'll reassemble everything. So, after all, one shot of buffer and minor scratch will be gone :D

i've stripped the car myself and i have to put all together mysefl too

[3G Jester]

Wow

[bullard123]

Happy birthday dude! I know its nice to get your ride back on your birthday.

[L3G10N]

[forrest89sei]

Forrest

[speedpenguin]

Car looks AWESOME. :thumbup:
Happy Birthday, too.

[L3G10N]

tnx a lot for all your wishes!

[L3G10N]

Here is some new pics. We can see better the whole car.
So, here's the taillights with a global view of the driver side.
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02191.jpg

Front View
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02192.jpg

Front view and Passenger side
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02193.jpg

Shaving job with the sideskirt molded on the body and a little view of the rear wide
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02194.jpg

What a Sexy ass!!!! :metal:
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02195.jpg

Rear wide, shaving and sideskirt
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02196.jpg

Here's what my head can't decide.... Which corner will I put on the car... Both are JDM
86-87
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02197.jpg

88-89
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02198.jpg

My Sedan 86-87 grill who will need some clean up with almost all the front and hood close.
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02199.jpg

[L3G10N]

Here's the small car of my GF beside mine. She's car is 2" dropped and mine is 1.5". AND my car is completly stripped, so it is a lot higher than supposed... Both car look to be the same height. Imagine what my car will look when all will be back together :D
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02200.jpg

And one last pic with the 18" on the rear showing you how the rear wide will be perfect for those size (18x7.5). The rear will have a 1/4" spacer too. So this is not the final setup for the rear.
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02201.jpg
Let me know what you all think about this!

[Legend_master]

I say you go with the second set of corner lights. Seriosly that car is going to be sick when you put it all back together. Some deep dish wheels would really set that rear fender off.

[russiankid]

ur car is the sex

[thegreatdane]

Looking awesome, and great job on the shaving! I'd say 88-89 corners too but you should also put on the 88-89 grille and eyelids! Sweet tails!

[baqnblaq]

Sweet looking hatch. Those black wheels look killer.

[L3G10N]

Looking awesome, and great job on the shaving! I'd say 88-89 corners too but you should also put on the 88-89 grille and eyelids! Sweet tails!

trouble in this is that i HATE the 88-89 grille....

[thegreatdane]

trouble in this is that i HATE the 88-89 grille....

hehe I see your problem. Well, at least use 88-89 eyelids.

[L3G10N]

yeah I will. I'll find something to hide a bt the part on the grill

[Whistler225]

your car looks great man. Normally I'm not a fan of the big body kits, but yours looks good. I hope you take this as the compliment it's intended to be....your car is starting to resemble an '82 Celica-Supra....one of my favorite cars (especially in the rear end).

[L3G10N]

I've started to remove every parts from in the car.... SOOOOO much puzzle to solve lol. So i decided to take some others pics :D This is into the spare place where i let my car sleeps.

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02224.jpg

Sweet and shiny same if she's dirty

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02226.jpg

Here's the master puzzle.but can be worst for sure! In all this... the electric conversion still missing.....

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02227.jpg
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02228.jpg

I've noticed something i didn't before... The guy who did my car have shoot ALL the car with the white pearl... i mean. ALL!!! Same into the engine bay!!! But i've find some spots where paint is missing...

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC02230.jpg

My girlfriend make me notice something else.... in ALL those pics..... i've forget to take one of the top with the antenna and gutter shaved.... Next time :D

[L3G10N]

[crazykamper]

wow, looks VERY VERY nice, im loving the tail lights with you color body. Keep up the great job!!!

[L3G10N]

tnx a lot buddy! Still have a lot of job to do and not enough time.....

[Tecknixia]

Wow, the rear is sooooo nice...

The front doesn't please me as much as the rear unfortunately, but it still looks like a VERY nice car.

Like mentioned, stick with the second set of JDM corners.

Good luck with putting everything back together!

[Cheeseburger]

that loooks hot bro

[L3G10N]

Tecknixia: tnx a lot! always a pleasure to get some comments, negative or positive! As for the front, i need to add the fog light coming from 06 Sonata V6. This will change the look for sure! And some mesh grill will appears too.

Cheeseburger: lol you already said this! but tnx again lol

[mkymonkey]

lol you seem to forget that cheeseburger is the "thats hot bro" post whore....

[L3G10N]

ahah true! lol

[speedpenguin]

Your car is the bee's knees man!

[A18A]

leave the steelies on, makes the car look cool lol jk, that is 1 hella shiney paint job there. stay with 2nd corners, 1st 1s are so ugly

[BITESIZE]

I don't know how the hell I missed this whole thread....Fucking titties!

[BITESIZE]

BTW, it's very depressing to see your car...mine looks like ass right now. :) I'm painting mine black too. It won't be done until next summer I imagine. I shaved everything too, except door moldings.

[bullard123]

BTW, it's very depressing to see your car...mine looks like ass right now. :) I'm painting mine black too. It won't be done until next summer I imagine. I shaved everything too, except door moldings.

So you are keeping it. I thought you were going to sell it after the accident.

[L3G10N]

well guys, i need your help! I CAN'T find any Coupe EX/EXi/SEi for parts here. I need the actuator and the whole wires for converting the car to electric. Can some of you guys can find this to me for cheap?

And i am still looking for some blue LXi 86 door panel. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!

[mike10562004]

woooooow man that geez is amazingeez!!!! 5stars

[mike10562004]

blue door panels interior or exterior?

[L3G10N]

blue door panels interior or exterior?

Indoor panel with control on.

[spades]

very nice ive never liked the 2 door accords but you have changed my mind

nice work

[mike10562004]

i have some but they need to be cleaned theres some soda stains on it but it will wash off ill send a pic if you would like

[L3G10N]

how nice! i am waiting for this! :)

[L3G10N]

I say you go with the second set of corner lights. Seriosly that car is going to be sick when you put it all back together. Some deep dish wheels would really set that rear fender off.

my GF did a photoshop and i totally fall for a deep dish meshy style!!!

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/kiwispooner/WorkVSXXonHatch.jpg

Since those are totally OVERpriced, i was thinking about the 5zigen SC3000
http://www.5zigenusa.com/product/wheel/sports/images/sports_black.jpg
http://www.5zigenusa.com/product/wheel/sports/images/sports_silver.jpg
http://www.5zigenusa.com/product/wheel/sports/images/blackc_275.jpg

This way, i could put a +35 offset on the rear and a +43 offset in the front...

What's turn me down... is the color... they are only avalaible in Hyperblack and HyperSilver. USA have the GlossyBlack. At least, this one could be sweet looking but... not avalaible for Canada............

[BITESIZE]

^^^holy Shit I'm Going To Steal Your Hatch!

[Legend_master]

^^^holy Shit I'm Going To Steal Your Hatch!


:werd: that is absolutely sick. Those wheels black with a polished lip will look perfect on your ride.

[BITESIZE]

Next AOM!

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/kiwispooner/WorkVSXXonHatch.jpg

[L3G10N]

lol car is still undone. AOM don't need to be a finished car?

ahah, just realized that May is my Brithmonth too lol

[LX-incredible]

It was scary-looking in the beginning, but it sure came out nice. Good job man!:thumbup:

[MessyHonda]

nice....the onlything that bugs me is the eyelid does not match up with the grill....il bet that would be fixed once the car is all back together

[L3G10N]

the headlight still don't have the motor to keep it right. So, nothing is lined right. If you speak about the 86-87/88-89, the eyelid match the grill since they are both 86-87

[mike10562004]

man im gona jack ur hatch man that thing is pimpin right there dang man a+++++

[L3G10N]

try to :welcome:

[mike10562004]

update?

[L3G10N]

Not Yet, I just found an EXi 89 past few days. So now, i'll be able to start the electric convertion. Finally, some update will come :D

[bobafett]

do you still need blue hatch door parts? or hatch power window parts?

[L3G10N]

well, finally, i've decided to take the one from the EXi and just change the color of the material on... this will be easier. But if I can find some of the right color, for sure, this will be best!

[BITESIZE]

Any updates my good man? Oh and lets see some more pictures!

[backhatcher]

i only skimmed through this, but how did you do yer tails like that?

[Strahan]

Looks superb! +2 on the tails inquiry, they look cool as hell.

Wanna sell the car?? hehe.

[BITESIZE]

He used vht red tint spray, it's easy to do.

[MessyHonda]

He used vht red tint spray, it's easy to do.


yeah but not alot of people do it....i want to do mine but i would have to take off the tail lights...prep them and then shoot them with paint....then wait to cure and put it back in the car. and hope i didnt mess any thing up.

[L3G10N]

Well, as I've already explained, it's not just VHT Red Tint Spray. A friend of my who do a lot of Professional Airbrush did 'em for me. He did the receipt of the paint too. If you look carefully, the orange part don't appear anymore. But if you remove the paint, it's still there.

It's definitly his receipt. And more, they have 2 shot of clear and are buffed 3 times. They cost me 110$cdn to made. I am really proud of 'em.

My Little bro tryed the VHT Paint and it's definitly not the same type. Mine look OEM not him.

As for the pics... i don't have any new except for the paint defect that i've found. I don't want to show her for the moment.

I go through a lot of problems too with the garage where the car is.... So, nothing have changed.....

Tnx for the comments. Trust me, as soon as something good append, I will post pics ;)

[Strahan]

If I shipped you some tails how much would you charge to duplicate that look, if you are willing to? Thanks!

[L3G10N]

I think I have a complete spare of tail light... If yes, I can give 'em to my friend and you ship me yours. My friend charge 120$ to do the job, i am not doing it.

If you still want it, just let me know, we will talk about a deposit first. I don't want to pay for someone else.

[L3G10N]

a little update. It's been 2 years since I got the hatch out of the bodyshop and have not worked on it.....

I just find a place where I can store my car, getting 24hres acces and work on it. So some update might come soon :)

[Civic Accord Honda]

holy shit havent seen you around in ages! , welcome back !

[MessyHonda]

yeah i remember when i started here you were an active member.

[L3G10N]

haha yeah it's been a while. When I got my hatch out of the bodyshop, and was not able to work on it, I just left the 3geez life beside a little. In fact, for some time, the overall car tuning was left beside but as any passion, it always come back.

So I put the Baja(rc car) beside, and find a place to work on my hatch. So I'll be able to start again.

I have my 18" 5zigen SC3000 who's coming home and the rear Supra wing for the hatch that need to be modified to fit the hatch.

as far as I remember, they are the only update.

[MessyHonda]

yeah i remember you trying to get us custom coil overs....but now k-sport makes a kit for the accord.

[L3G10N]

Yeah by Selex Tuning. The company still exist, They sponsor Drift Events now in Quebec area and they made my shock setup. I'll post pics soon!

BTW, there is my latest addition for the Hatch
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/SC3000-1875HS-A.jpg

5zigen SC3000 18x7.5 +35 offset Rear and +43 offset front!

I'll get the meshy repainted gold and keep the chrome lips.

[MessyHonda]

[L3G10N]

[MessyHonda]

Those are pretty sick, not gonna lie. I'd leave the center caps off just so they wont get stolen.

[carotman]

Nice cat!

[L3G10N]

Nice cat!

I knew someone would talk about the JDM 4WD Cat hahaah

[markmdz89hatch]

it is a cool looking cat though.

[L3G10N]

Those are pretty sick, not gonna lie. I'd leave the center caps off just so they wont get stolen.

i'll try to find some Honda center cap. I don't really like the Sports Engine cap they gave with the mags!

[Rendon LX-i]

i love it

[L3G10N]

well guys, it look like the car will be repainted again.
One of my close friend bought a body shop.
He dreamed of working on my car from the start.
When all his things will be official, My baby is mooving into his bodyshop.
So i'll be able to work on my car as I like.

There was a lot of downside on my 10 000$ job. A lot of things was made wrong on the car too (wave in door shaving, crack in paint, etc etc)

So he decided to sponsorise me a new bodyjob/paint.

So, things will start over again.... Damn this body will have cost me WAY TOO MUCH!!!
Tnx to my friend who will do all the job on his own will and will only charge me paint and stuff at cost price.

So I am now looking for this color and redo my interior blue/black or all black.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b380/kiwispooner/holden-efijy-concept-743006.jpg

So... project is still undone hahaha

[markmdz89hatch]

holy shit $10000? OUCH.

Glad to see it's still going though, and really good to know it's getting another chance at greatness. Welcome back.

[L3G10N]

yeah the result you see in black costed me 10 000$cdn. I told the guy he ripped me off... finally, we are not talking each other anymore since this job (he was a friend, not a close one but still)

So I am still looking for the interior parts I need. And project will be longer than expected, but I think it's better like this.

BTW, 2 others 5zigen are at home since a while.

So all 4 shoes are at home :)

[L3G10N]

nothing new in this tread. I just reupped EACH pics of the project because they were not working anymore.

All fixed now :D

[speedpenguin]

When's your paint getting done?

[L3G10N]

ah if you talk about my friend who was supposed to REdo the paint... it's almost a deadend project. So I'll stay with my black/pearled white car and finish if like this.

[L3G10N]

Few new parts at home!! Double DCOE 40!

Yeah, I got 3.... I was looking for one but ended with 3.
One is for sale in the relative section.

SOOO happy!!

[Nafs Asdf]

Wow, nice! Is the other one from a later B-series model?

Also, I know that thing is rare... but $630 for a valve cover?!?!

[L3G10N]

the second valve cover is a 2nd version of the MF204(Dallara Cover). Still the same engine but they did something different on it.... I took it just for my own pleasure. I won't put it on any engine.

and 600$us, I paid 550$ to get it at home. Price could be less. It will depend on the adress.

By asking 600, I know that people who will contact me will be serious and i'll be able to readjust the price with the real shipping. I don't want to make money on it. But I don't want to loose a penny. That's why.

maybe I should explain this in my sale tread lol.

oh and price was 600, sorry for the typo error.

[A18A]

thats quite a lot of bolt holes on that 2nd one haha

[MessyHonda]

im a b20 man but only the mugen top one is the hot one...the extra bolt holes makes the other one look werid

[Mellexx]

Top one is indeed sexy :D

[L3G10N]

yeah there's a lot of hole in the second version hahaha But I asked for it just for my personnal pleasure. This valve cover won't be used at all.

Tnx for the comments guys!

[L3G10N]

Oh yeah! Saturday don't come fast enough. I am mooving my beast to a new garage and this time, I'll be able to work on it!!! FINALLY!!!
So all my future weekend are already planned.
Garage, garage and.... garage!

Beast ready to leave the bed for a new one
SOOOOooooooo dirty :bs: :violin:

And a little better pic of the 5zigen
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC06233.jpg

I wanted to put all 4 but.........I don't find the box anymore to unbolt the Motegi rims........ :Owned:

3 wheels on 4 were totally jammed.... I had to remove the brake pad from the driver's side front caliper.
Rear driver wheel were also jammed but easier to unjam(but damn my shoulder hurt now!!!)
Rear passenger wheel were and STILL is jammed.... Without the box to remove the nuts.... I can't hit the drum with the hammer....

So, I need to fix this little details before saturday morning... if not, I won't be able to put the car on the trailler to move it to its new place.

Wish me luck guys!!

[A18A]

holy shit that's dusty :O

[2drSE-i]

Um wow is this car from the 1920s? Cut it looks like it went through the dustbowl....good lord.

Anywho, Props on the new garage, the wheels look awesome too!

[A18A]

oh, and just drag the car onto a trailer haha :P

[carotman]

On Special @ Canadian Tire:

http://208.109.247.6/pf/images/wheel-dollies.jpg

You should get some (I am).

Will make it easier to move the car around.

[L3G10N]

4 years in this place without anything on the paint..... this is the result. Sadly....

Carotman, I'll check this for sure. Will be easier in the new garage. But this won'T help a bit to get the car on the trailler saturday morning :(

[L3G10N]

What a Shitty day lol
Woke up, go get the trailler and make my way to the garage.
Bring with me WD40 and the nut I needed to remove the Motegi.
Unjam the wheel, nice it's spinning again!! So I put 2 others 5zigen with bigger offset. Fitting/Look is PERFECT. SOOOO happy. :cool: Just like I imagined.

So we started pushing the car........ but it wasn't mooving again..... well, it was but, what a pain!!! There is still something in the way....
So we ended using a Chain block to pull the car on the trailler.

When time came to strap the front wheel on the trailler..... I found what was the problem..........:squint:

My Oversized wheel are..... too large.... Tire are on the upper arm. Literally..... :nuts:
I just don't get why.... The 5zigen have a bigger offset than the Motegi (+43 For the 5zigen and +45 for the motegi) and same tire size on both wheel.

Motegi was spining freely.... not the 5zigen... So now I need to;
1- Add a spacer
2- put a smaller tire
or
3- enlarge the front fender AND add a spacer.

Well anyway, here is the car on the trailler ready to moove to its new place.

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC06234.jpg

Getting the car out was WAY more easy
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC06235.jpg

And here she is on the skate. (Tnx carotman for the idea :cool: ).

[L3G10N]

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC06239.jpg

Next step, cleaning the car, remove everything I have into this car. There is a LOT of parts that came from some other cars from the first garage and are not mine. Put back windows and.... I don't know on what to start after... Direction/Suspension/Brake, engine bay/wirring or interior.....

Finally, the big party is just starting for this project!

Also, after this, I did 8hres to get an 89 EXi coupe for parts and Electrical convertion. MANY hours to come!! :nervous:

[A18A]

i bet those thingies make moving the car around the garage easy!! pitty it looks like those things wont work on a gravel driveway, cause i want some lol. good to see something finally happen here :D

[RobT5580]

Glad you stuck with it as i know its been a while! Looks good...

[87roach]

It's great to see you starting back up on the hatch man.

Take one thing at a time and it will slowly come together.

Agreed, Looking forward to seeing more work on her :)

[L3G10N]

And back to sleep for today.
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/DSC06302.jpg

More to come! Need to find all the hatch parts I need first since they are discontinued in Canada. I'll have to look into the US.....

[A18A]

hell yeah, that's looking mint man. keep it up. good to see some progress finally :D

[charliekuney]

These cars seriously should have been produced without the body mouldings.

[MessyHonda]

no more dust...yay

[bullard123]

Glad too see this project rolling again...Lets all pull together to scrounge up some hatch parts. You should make a list of what you need. Junkyards in Colorado are flooding with hatches. BTW what happened to your rear hatch glass?

I am taking your words!!

I need trims all around the windows with clip that hold it there (both side)

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/OUT-sidelining.png

Need the plastic around the liscence plate. I still have mine, but I have a broken part on it.
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/rearpart.png

the MORE URGENT part is this one: #13-15. I need BOTH side and I want it without any broken tab under. If anyone could find it new at honda, I am ready to pay the price. No matter the color. I'll get it repainted if needed.
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/INT-sidelining.png

I need #5-6 on this one. I still have one side, but Can't find the other one. I also need the complete rear rubber #1
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/int-hatch.png

And the last one, those will be harder to find... I need them to put back my backglass(was just removed at the bodyshop Bullard for your question.) Need all #15(still have it but ugly as hell)-30-32-36-37-38-44-45

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/rearwindows.png

Again, if anyone could check at a local Honda Dealer, I'll HIGHLY prefer pay the price to get it brand new. If not, if people can help me finding them used, I'll be happy too :)

[bullard123]

Alright cool..:thumbup: I'm sure I have some of these parts lying around. If not I can pull them for you. I will check with the local Honda Dealership as well to see what they have...It will be next week though cause I'm on vacation right now. What year is your car? I know from replacing my rear quarter window that the glass and clips are different for the 86-87 and 88-89 models

[L3G10N]

Oh really?
well mine is an 86.
But still, if you can't find anything for 86-87, i'll take the 88-89. I don't have any at all. So 88-89 will be better than nothing.

Tnx for the help buddy!

[RobT5580]

Looking good!

[L3G10N]

tnx rob!
Tnx to the people who try to help me finding the parts too!

[carotman]

Cough cough

If you can find more rear trim clips bullard, I'll gladly take some. I don't need the glass clips, just the trim.

[L3G10N]

wich trim are you looking at?
I am first into the request :p hahaha

BTW Carot, i'll need to go see you for my timing belt you have for me and the tranny plate :)

[Civic Accord Honda]

!! looks good all washed up man :D

[thegreatdane]

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee89/l3g10n_photo/hatch86project/rearwindows.png

I have one #15, one #16 and eleven #38. They are brand new from Honda.

Here are the part numbers, respectively:
73251se0003
73252se0003
91507se0003

I paid $110 US for the two window moldings. I had them ordered from Japan by mistake. Dont remember how I got so many #38 though. If anyone's interested let me know.
