Winter Project *Lots of pics*

[Gemini2003]

Well I did a little more work today :-)

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00301s.jpg


http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00302s.jpg

^^^ I need at least one more layer of fiberglass here :-|

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00303s.jpg

Started to fix another problem area today aswell... I needed to sandblast the whole area because it was so rusty.... Gawd I love my sandblaster :-) I'm Acutally getting better at using it now ;-)

To Anyone looking to buy a sandblaster: DO IT... I have saved enough time on this one project to justify what I paid and I have just a small 5 gallon pressure pot!

[Gemini2003]

More work :-) More layers of fiberglass as well I did some small primering all over the car ;-)

*EDIT* Now free of spelling errors! :-) *EDIT*

More Work :-)

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC000008s.jpg

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC000010s.jpg

This time I was able to finish sanding and primming the drivers side.

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00013s.jpg

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00015s.jpg

I also sprayed more sound dampening/undercoat spray all on the inside of the metal to reduce as much sound as possible :-) Great stuff to work with if your have nice gloves :-)


Oh after that I dropped the LX tank to put the EX-i tank in and notice a bit of a difference :-)

Anyway that's how my day went :-)

[speedpenguin]

You're really cleaning that car up nice, man!

[Gemini2003]

Thank you Speedpenguin I am really trying to do a decent job here.

There are a couple remaining holes in the structure that you can see.... I am going to deal with those after the quarter panel has been welded on. They don't look like they provide any strength anyway but I will take care of them after :-)

The next step now for bodywork is to get my panel welded on.

The next step I'm doing is swapping the tank over and laying B-Quiet Extreme in my trunk.

Thanx for stopping by!

[1ajs]

wow you sure gone to town on this wish i had a space to do somthing simlar with my volvo witch i can buy all the panels for it to fix it new lol

i just hope your using zink oxide primer to help prevent the rust from coming back plzz make sure you are doing this or all your work will just be going down the drain :(

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Wow, you're definately making some progress, thats for sure. Keep it up.

[Gemini2003]

LOL

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00016s.jpg

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00016%20copys.jpg

I wish I could use photo shop :( ... I really wanted to see how a burnt orange and a white combo would look.... ... ... Well... .. I tried... lol

And a little diffrent (2 mintues before work)

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00016%20copyss.jpg

[Cheeseburger]

hmm what other colors are u going to go with?

[Gemini2003]

The above orange is not very close to what I want.

I'm wanting the make one of my interior accent colors to be the exact same color of the paint job. So think of a nice burnt metallic orange similer to below ( I want mine a little darker ) :

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00026.jpg

[Gemini2003]

This is the closest I've found to the orange that my baby is going to be:

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/Truck.JPG

[RamThis]

I LOVE that color!!! I wanted to use that or the bright metallic lime green on black with metallic silver accents on my Ram.....

[speedpenguin]

That is going to look nice as hell!
I hope.

[Gemini2003]

That is going to look nice as hell!
I hope.

LOL.... Me too... After a year of work? Damn rights I hope!

[forrest89sei]

Nice outside colour!

[RamThis]

Nice looking port job, boy has skillz!

Did he flow bench it to make sure all the port's flow numbers match?

[Gemini2003]

He hasn't done anything more then what's in the pictures at this point...

As for his continuing progress he's out of town and is updating me as he goes along :-)

[1ajs]

i'd say take your door panels apart and make them dual orange... make them look stock :P

[Gemini2003]

Cool I found a more realistic way of doign the white :-)

Is that a stock shifter?

nope that is a adjustable pacesetter shifter......






CAH....i like the orange one better....that was my school color.

[Gemini2003]

You know... I've come to realize that yes my car is defiantly going to have some ricer aspects to it.... BUT... on the other hand my "ricer" will have a fully redone motor (with double the horse power hopefully), a fully redone exterior, redone interior and NICE sound system.

The fact I've put so much effort into this to me doesn't classify me as a ricer...

Just to clarify.


OH.... and my window? LOL It's broken from that fucking shopping cart so i just used a filter on it so you couldn't tell the Cracks are there :-)

[A18A]

who cares if others think your car is rice (i dont) i think its a good project with a lot of potential, not just some stupid stickers slapped on with half assed work done to it.

oh and im gonna pretend i didnt see post #283 :lol:

[carotman]

Well, all the bodywork you've done is an inspiration to me. I'll soon start working on the hatchback. I'm prepping the garage with plastics everywhere. There's going to be alot of that nasty sandblasting media everywhere.

[Gemini2003]

Thank you Carotman coming from you that means a ton... and overdosed thanx aswell :-)

[1ajs]

Gemini2003 just ignor my ricer coments lol the amont of work you have put in is a testimat to your love of 3geez. i wish i had the skillz and a garadge to do what your doing rust wise your a god on 3geez keep it up :)

[precision porting]

Thanks, I do every job as what I call a 1 off. I never do a repeat of anything. Always looking for better ways to make HP and still keep it reasonable enouph so you don't have to remorgage your house to afford it. next pics will be right after I finish the intake side of this little 12 valver. Been a very nice challenge for me.
MR R

[race12001]

yeah...im into bolt ones now...since im looking wut is my limit then just taring down my car and going to slap a small turbo on it.

[Gemini2003]

BIG UPDATE!!!

FIRST AND FORMOST THANK YOU DOUG!! Without our fellow 3geer's welding ability I would not have been able to get this step done. Thank you so much.

And now......

From this:
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00346.jpg

To this :-)
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00349.jpg
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00351.jpg

Door Sits nice!!
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00352.jpg

Thank you again Doug for your time and effort.

The next step for me is to grind down all the welds and start to correct body imperfections!

[Cheeseburger]

wOOt!!! nice job!

[MessyHonda]

lol all i could think of was hip replacement..lol you going to get some rear disk?

[Gemini2003]

Yes I bought a set of SE-I brakes however they have failed to show up as of yet.

I'm gunna Pm him right now to see if there where anymore issues.

Man.. I'm so happy this step is done...

[speedpenguin]

Man! That looks great! :thumbup:

[theDougler]

I have to agree it did turn out a lot better than i planned and considering the fact that i'm used to welding stuff 1/8" or thicker, so it was a learning experience for me as well. had fun doing it and hope Mike doesn't have to much trouble with it

[1ajs]

aww man wish i knew how to weld so i couldfix my poor old tank up (volvo)

anyhow

nice prgress great to see it coming along so well

[theDougler]

You still owe me mike big time :P just messin

[Gemini2003]

LOL I know I do dude but you wouldn't take what I was offerin :-P

[RamThis]

LOL I know I do dude but you wouldn't take what I was offerin :-P
Ummmmmm......

[MessyHonda]

lol

[Gemini2003]

LOL NO! I kept trying to get food etc.. but he was turning it down... I"ll pay you back Doug :-)

[carotman]

That's some nice work you did there!

Was it really hard to align? Did you bust holes frequently? Those panels are a bitch to weld in place.

[Gemini2003]

It didn't take Doug long to get the hang of welding the thin metal... yeah it was a bitch to align, however with two guys (who have not done this before BTW) we managed to do awesome! :-) It feels so good to be able to fininally close that facking door again :-)

[teck]

good luck on the project bro. its coming along nicely :)

[Feuerstoss]

Wow. I just wanted to say that you rock. Hardcore. Just by looking at the pics you put down have been showing me what it takes to get decent bodywork done. While my 3G is in pretty good shape on the rust, I just bought a G1 Legend that's sorely in need of a rustectomy. This definately gives me inspiration to repair that sucker instead of letting it sit and rot some more. Once again, thanks a lot!

[carotman]

rustectomy hahah

I got to remember that one!

[Gemini2003]

Your Most Welcome!!

Quite honestly I don't know why but when I looked at my car (while I was still driving) I just always knew it would be rust free one day...

Cheers :-)

[bullard123]

Hey Gemini none of your pics are working now. Any updates?

[1ajs]

Your Most Welcome!!

Quite honestly I don't know why but when I looked at my car (while I was still driving) I just always knew it would be rust free one day...

Cheers :-)

ya but... you switch cars half way threw the project

[Gemini2003]

ya but... you switch cars half way threw the project


Ya your right...

I guess I always knew I would drive a a non-rusty Acccord?

anyway... 7:15 am and I'm going to work.

[Gemini2003]

Update :-)

Here is a picture update on the motor work:

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/attachs.jpg
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/attach1s.jpg
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/attach22s.jpg

I'm about to sound dampen my trunk so it's completely stripped of wires etc. A few sprays of rust preventing primer and it's ready to go. Laying B-quiet Extreme as soon as possible.

My first Sound dampening experience done:
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00581s.jpg
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00582s.jpg


It's way easier to work with then I thought. I can't wait to work on the rest of the body.

[Cheeseburger]

looking good man!

[HondaBoy]

damn, looks like that came out nice. used a propane torch to work the material?

[speedpenguin]

Man I get a little more pumped about seeing the end result of this project every time you update!

[Gemini2003]

The propane torch (A tiger torch) is used to heat our Shop. It's noisy but it only takes like 5-6 min to heat up my section now that I've insulated it.

We have a big fan and I was using it to blow the hot air from the ceiling onto the B-Quiet to warm it up and that worked great. You can see the B-Quiet in the first pic sitting on the car.

Thanks... see you later!

[MessyHonda]

i bet you will not have any road noise when you are finished

[theDougler]

hey what are you doing with those prelude seats?
sound dampening looks good

[MessyHonda]

[MessyHonda]

i like my lude seat...i also wanted black but i got the blue ones for free and they were in good condition my mother just had to sew a lil tare on the driver seat but other than that it was all good.

[Gemini2003]

Because of your help with the welding they are yours if you want them.

(the blue seats of course)

Trunk Done!!! :rockon:

:Edit (forgot something):

I would like to mention that working with B-Quiet Extreme is Excellent for a first time user. For Prep I washed the metal with soapy water. The instructions read that no heat gun is required and that applying the B-Quiet at or above room temperature is all that's needed (EASY!). I did just that :-D ... after the first hour of working with it you start to get a feel on the shapes and cuts that are needed for each section. As for cutting I didn't even use a good knife I just held a utility knife blade in my hand which worked fine for me. It's minus 20 Celsius here so if the B-Quiet was going to fall off due the cold it would have tonight (and still hasn't).

So overall B-Quiet Seems excellent coming from a first time user POV I can't wait to see how much quieter it will be in may car. I have 100 Sq ft and I intend on using every inch I can and doubling up in some areas.

[forrest89sei]

Nice WORK man!!! :thumbup:

Thats gonna be a Silent 3gee!

wow you can turn up the tunes and not have the trunk make noise!

[jonrichert]

Looking good Mike! Where are you planning on getting it painted? I think I'm gonna give my car a fresh coat in the spring.

[forrest89sei]

Yay both of you can do a Photoshoot!

[Gemini2003]

I'm not sure... I guess I'll do it when it the weather gets half assed nice around here... or just after they sweep the streets :-) Zack from this site (Pinball Kidd) Works at Maaco I think so I may try to get it painted there :-)

[forrest89sei]

Are you still gonna paint it this colour?


http://gemini-online.net/web/images/DSC00026.jpg

Yes or something extremly close...

THanks.

simple dude your unbolt the seats unscrew the center counsol and unscrew a cupple trim peaces the hold the crapet in place and your set... should not take more then an hour to pull the seats and carpet out

[Civic Accord Honda]

new pics plz :D

[speedpenguin]

hey when you pulled your carpet did you need a star-point screwdriver to take the trim off the doorsills? I had so much trouble with that. The seats weren't easy either. maybe it's because I had a hatch.

[Gemini2003]

Mini Update:


First things First:

Question : That sound proofing stuff you used how hard was it to get the seats out and the get under the carpet to install it.

THanks.

The seats are easy to get out. Pm me if you need directions. :-) One thing tho I haven't gotten to the seat yet but I can't see anything being difficult.

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00604s.jpg

I did a little more :-) (Filled the Heater and got back from outta town lol )

[theDougler]

[Cheeseburger]

[1ajs]

[Cheeseburger]

looking good maing!

[MessyHonda]

how much of that Bquiet would i need for a whole trunk?

[speedpenguin]

While you're at it why not weld some reinforcement into that frame?

[Gemini2003]

how much of that Bquiet would i need for a whole trunk?


I don't know it's hard to say... I used close to 50 ft doing the trunk and trunk lid.. however trunk kits are between20 and 30 sq ft...

Maybe I'm putting too much on? (I don't care if I am)


I just bought another 100 sq ft and if you need 50 ft we may be able to work somthing out. (you would have to pay for it)

[MessyHonda]

yeah im thinking of striping my turnk and laying this stuff down then doing a custom trunk

[Gemini2003]

I havn't drivin my car yet but I can allready tell this stuff is going to be awsome.

I would...

It would run you approx $100 for 50 ft.

[skycam_313]

cant wait for the final pics of this beast!

lookin good maing

[Tomisimo]

do you know how much waight do you gain on this stuff? B-Quiet... I bet this stuff is heawy. All thou NICE wark.

[Gemini2003]

do you know how much waight do you gain on this stuff? B-Quiet... I bet this stuff is heawy. All thou NICE wark.

Actually it's not bad.

B-Quiet Extreme weighs about 15 pounds for 50 sq ft

I assume I'll have about 45 pounds of sound dampening in my car at least :-)

[MessyHonda]

i want specs on that engine.....so i can also build a 200hp machine

[Cheeseburger]

awsome!

[Gemini2003]

So I was thinking I'd show you guys quickly how I have the shop setup... I don't know if anyone will care but it wont hurt :-)

I heat the shop with my Tiger Torch... It goes through about $5 worth of propane every time I use it:

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00610ss.jpg

That thing blows hot air and I circulate it with my two fans... which are directed into mycar to heat the interior metal at the moment :-)

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00608s.jpg
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00611s.jpg

You can see below that it's really cramped when I have the shop devided in two by poly... It really keeps the heat in :-) Additionally it heats up faster :-)

These lights where a Great investment for $25... 500W each side :-P :-)

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00613ss.jpg


I was motivated tonight once again and did more work :-)

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00617s.jpg

Notice anything diffrent? I did the left and right wheel well center beam and back dash Yepp yepp yepp!

[Cheeseburger]

nice!

[MessyHonda]

i like bitesize set up..cuz it came with the boot and shiter knob...but that one is not bad at all

[Cheeseburger]

the car is going to handle really good with that wheel

[MessyHonda]

the car is going to handle really good with that wheel
lets hope the suspension is not stock

[Cheeseburger]

well that doesn’t really mater to much. since the wheel is smaller in diameter it makes the car more responsive since u have to turn the wheel less

[MessyHonda]

well that doesn’t really mater to much. since the wheel is smaller in diameter it makes the car more responsive since u have to turn the wheel less



if you took out PS...it would suck....cuz then you would not have the torque to overcome the inershia of the wheels...thats why big cars like trailers have big sterring wheels

[Gemini2003]

I will not recieve the wheel until March 15th due to back order :-( I will have pics as soon as I get it.

And there is no way in hell the suspension will be stock. :-)

I have Acura integra lowering springs for my baby :-)

He says that the Pistons rings and bearings are all installed and clearanced ... THANK YOU Mr.R

[thegreatdane]

So youre going with stock pistons? You should do yourself a favor and stick in some high comp pistons while youre in there along with some arp rod bolts. If youre still planning to get some good numbers out if it that is.

[Cheeseburger]

how much have u spent?

[teck]

sweet keep it up!!

[forrest89sei]

Thats gonna be a Silent Beast!

[Gemini2003]

I've spent about $200 on the sound dampening so far. I'll probably use another $50 worth for the bottom of the car (under the carpet)

[Gemini2003]

Update:

I had a little brain storm session with my friends and came up with the idea of re-upholstering the A, B, C pillars and ceiling of my car... all in black vinal.

Here are some of the parts completed.

I'll Have the ceiling done tomorrow.

My concept for the interior is evolving as I go... I'm finding that I want to incorporate a bunch of little things that would be cool but would waste a lot of time.

25 Days 'Till I get my licence back.

[Gemini2003]

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/DSC00840s.jpg


My friend and instructor Bob is doing the rear quarter panel. You can't even tell the quarter panel has been replaced!! As he is doing this I'm learning from him and working on the fender to learn how to use it better and mix it better.

[speedpenguin]

It's definitely not CVCC.

CVCC has the third valve in a seperate mini-chamber from the main combustion chamber.

No the first Honda DIESEL motor came in like 2002, it's the Circle L motor.

But in reality the circle L motor is a tweaked Isuzu Diesel that GM Traded honda for a V6 and a Transmission for the Saturn Vue Redline's

But yeah! that A20 IS LOOKING GREAT!

Second Post

http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/ddddrrgggg.jpg
:nuts:.... Mind boggling isn't it? The worst part is I've all ready taken half this much to the dump. I've gone through 3 accords in total in the last year and a bit.:nuts:

In the top left you can see the Custom bars From Justin... I will be test fitting them shortly and then the plan is power coating.



http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/instrument.jpg

Mr.R uses this $800 instrument for all his engine torques. He has three of these all similar. I will tell you that one of the most important things I've learned is the value of a good tool. I would never have spent $50 or $60 on a good wratchet a year ago.....


In the last few day's I've been concentrating on the body work aspect of things as I'm learning bondo I'm getting better... I have a big problem laying too much down still... oh well... for a break I went to suspension and threw in my right side suspension (front and rear)... I ran into a shitload of problems like you always do on old cars... The Upper Ball joint and tie rod end where rusted on and wouldn't budge (untill I bought Liquid Wrench) Additonally the rubber mount in the lower control arm was rusted together..... I had to cut the old strut by the wishbone and then buy a Porpane torch. The torch worked great to hea tthe old bolt and allow me to twist it out. I still end up having to replace my lower control arm as I have no way of removing the old bushing.

[MessyHonda]

man looks like its coming along nice.

[speedpenguin]

So many parts!

I'm having a hell of a time just swapping out my front seats, you're amazing.
