    indeed. funny thing is they didn't pick up on ANY of my butchered work on getting a f-series motor in there (they just checked the clutch fluid reservoir). god forbid i have fog lights that don't work though!

    windscreen guys pulled out my windscreen and informed me of some rust. they where all good with me taking the car for a couple hours to do some quick rust repairs. luckily there where only 2 spots that needed to be cut/welded

    no progress pics, but here's my new windscreen which hurt the wallet


    would be wof'd but the garage was closed today. hopefully they're open tomorrow morning

    Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL

    after seeing this car https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthrea...=1#post1110803 I decided I wanna 5g accord lip on mine too. plus some dick head in a taxi done a hit and run on my car so i had to pull the bumper off to straighten shit out

    I took the lip off my wagon, now it looks even uglier

    then forced the sides/corners to fit the bumpers square-ish shape with some screws


    had to cut the middle cause it was too long, i just soldered it back in the middle.

    i'm not too concerned about making it look mint as this will most likely be getting abused on driveways

    Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL

    that was on my old 3g, i made that out of roadside markers lol. it looked cool, but was made of 8 pieces, and they kept falling off.

    anyway if things go to plan, i have found me a donor car to get another h22a from will find out by the end of the week

    indeed. i may take the wheels too since they have brand new tyres and they are easier to clean than teh white ones, even though they don't look as good

    Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL

    ^I lied, the fuel & temp gauge was broken, the corner sensors don't work, cruise control doesn't work, the paint is faded on the roof and bonnet and it's missing the orange reflector thing in the front bumper.
    I'm gonna put my f20a into the prelude, swap on some standard wheels & tidy it up a bit, then (hopefully) sell it for the same price I bought it for.

    anyway i jsut got this in the mail today

    now i have a complete looking h22a

    the lack of spark plug cover/alternator loom cover & heat shield cover from my old h22 always bothered me

    I may start the swap in the next couple of days

    vv whats with this big ass attached thumbnails shit?? vv

    Re: A18A's 1988 Vigor 2.0MXL

    i chucked the 17s on the accord


    pros:
    make the car look cleaner
    new tyres
    better ride
    easier to clean
    cons:
    don't look as good as the white wheels, i'm not a fan of black/polished wheels
    rear guards need rolling
