a Little update on my lovely 86 hatch

[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:



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. 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..........

My Oversized wheel are..... too large.... Tire are on the upper arm. Literally.....
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.



Getting the car out was WAY more easy


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

[L3G10N]

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!!

[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

[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.

[Mellexx]

Agreed, Looking forward to seeing more work on her

[L3G10N]

1st official Day at the new garage. I just get the key, so I wasn't able to work on it before. Now it's a real start!

So we first start with washing the car.... well in fact... Kiwigirl did haahha Tnx to her. ops:

[L3G10N]

After this, we replaced the taillight and bolt them in place once for all.




Back from the abyss





After this, we put back the rebbuer I had... not all but the one I had




And back to sleep for today.


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

[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)



Need the plastic around the liscence plate. I still have mine, but I have a broken part on it.


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.


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


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



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.. 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

[thegreatdane]

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.
