Hello :-)
Thought I'd leave a little update ;-) I bought a sandblaster!!!! Whoo Hoo!!
I've officially started all the bodywork. The sandblaster is not working as well as I thought it would, this is possibly due to the fact we have a weak air compressor... oh well
Some of the rust has now been repaired it's defiantly a slow work in progress but it is going a lot faster then I thought it would. No body parts replaced yet.
I'll have pictures soon but it's hard always having to borrow a digi cam. Oh yeah I'm still separating the donor roof aswell :-P
wait, so your switching roofs with another car?? has this been done before or is he the first??
yes its been done...in history. by that i mean to other cars. i dont know about three gs but it should be the same...i mean all the cars LOOK the same
Yeah I've taken the roof off my old Lx and I'm replacing it with one that has a sunroof in it...
The reason (besides the ton of rust) is I kept getting pissed off that every car I've owned hasn't had a sunroof...
You know Pinball kid said the same thing... that I may be doing something no-one else has on this site! now for me THAT would be cool....
Hey peeps,
Another small update. I've sandblasted a few area's of the rust and completly sanded and primered the engine bay. I'll have pictures when I can.

looking good....
that looks good!! keep up the good work :rockon:
wow buddy you've done quite a bit looks like the progress is going quite well. hopefully you can get it all fixed up soon.can't wait to see the finished result. good job and keep it up buddy
I scored another killer deal! Not quite as good as the last deal mind you,
JVC kd-adv6160 DVD player! W00t!!(I really wish it where alpine)
and a 6" LCD screen !!
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/jvc1.JPG
This player has 5v Pre-outs
And now I have 5.1 Surrond sound!!
If you like Spec's take a look Here
sweet dude, i didn't think that JVC made car audio lol... I've always had a good experience with their home theater stuff.
If I had a choice I'd have chosen all alpine equipment. However when you get a deal you get a deal! $200 canadian for it all and the deck is one month old. MSRP: $350US for just the DVD player
sweet looking!!!
hey, if you rebuilt EVERYTHING and got a NEW engine on there, could you register it as a 2006 accord or sumtin? or would you be able to reset your odometer?
No you cant, lookin good though
I was actually curious about the odometer. If I do what I'm now planning (a re-build) Am I able to reset the odometer?
(Got a deal to get some enigne related work done.)
yes, you can, but as soon as you register it with lower miles than it was the last time it was registered... it's going to get a salvage title.
Don't tamper with the odometer.
I'm in Canada I wonder if it makes a diffrence...
I'm not planning to do it but I'd be interested to know...
Thanks for the heads up.
i bet it would still be the same as the states, i really have no clue but it just seems like thats one of those things thats fround upon so i would just stay away from that, good to see some more pics there, give me a shout if you guys wanna get together again sometime
Nice work dude!!!
Honestly, this is LITTLE rust.
You southern guys just freak out when you see a small rust spot. You should come up north and have a look at any 10 year old ca, they sometimes look worse than this one honestly.
Good choice on the sunroof!!! That was the best time/way to do it.
For the rear fenders, you shoudl go to Napa and buy replacment body panels, they are cheap and will just fit there easily. Just a little cut/weld job bit the shape will be perfect.
