I have more days off during the week than over the weekends. Working a hotel in social media does that to someone. I've got a secret project brewing that I want to talk about with you some time.

LOL I have to install them first. It's coming slowly though. Weekend goes by fast. Especially when you only have Sunday most of the time. Plus the failed tries and / or better ideas halfway through something to only start over.

Another little bit done. Sure does come apart easier than it goes together. But it is looking sweet I think.

Wow! Super awesome!

Thank you Snooz. I also fixed a little rust behind the mirror. Temp fix at least we'll see how she holds up. Be a couple years before I paint her most likely. I took the dremel and ground out to bare metal, although some still looked tarnished a bit. Then hit it with the rustoleum primer for rusty metal and sealed it up with some black epoxy paint then ran a bead of clear silicone around the perimeter of the mirror gasket. Hopefully it halts the rust if not time for a new shell if their still available or some clever body work on my part.

Finally got my center console all painted up with SEM products and installed. Here's a couple shots of my new interior. Only thing I need is a good carpet, from a donor car, in the hatch area or have someone make me one. It doesn't look bad now unless you really look, but I know it's not the right one, it's from a sedan and cut to fit.

That's Hot ! I really like the cord trim on the seats being the grey, sets off the whole look with the seats in.

Thank you. Really trying to get her show quality. Getting there slowly Dennis' car is my inspiration so I have a ways to go.

Adjusted the timing and re-gapped the plugs today went from 25 to 30 mpg highway with the air on. Was only getting 21 when I first got her.

Drove to Daytona Beach today and turned a lot of heads. Here's a picture at Ormond Beach today.

Thank you very much.

Checked mileage on the way back from Daytona 36.7 mpg without the air on.

I actually did something I never do on Saturday. I took it to Honda and let them service it. For $14.95 though I couldn't buy oil and a filter for that. So I don't know what they put in it to be honest.

Well installed Sei disc brakes in the rear and also installed adjustable rear uca's which it really needed since my old stock ones were wore out. Haven't test drove it yet since I still have to adjust the rear camber but the pedal feels good and it stops well in the driveway. Lol

[apache07x]

26 mpg in town now since adjusting the timing and plug gap. That was partly with air and mostly with drum brakes so it may be better now. Either way I'm pretty happy with 26 in town.

Well 5th gear went out. Guess that's my cue to do the B20A swap when I get time to in a couple years. In the meantime I guess I'm without a car

[apache07x]

Shoot me a text or something and let me know what you want for it.

Think I'm going to root around this weekend and put a transmission in it for now. Tired of looking at it sitting in the carport not running.
