    Thank You all once again for all your support! Until I get get my windows all the way up I'm FINALLY done the sound dampening... I don't even wanna count the hours I put into that.

    Started bondo work tonight... (learning as I go) :-P





    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.

    Re: Gemini2003's Project Car Picture Post only Thread

    Today I did some work on my front driver fender to learn how to bondo.




    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.


    Before:



    First coat of bondo after sanding the area down:



    Then Sanded:




    Another coat of bondo:



    And sanded with a layer of primer:

    Second Post


    .... 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.

    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.





    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.

    Re: Gemini2003's Project Car Picture Post only Thread

    Shitty the Internet was down for a few days at my place! what's funny is that I work for the bloody company as tech support!! lol I'm ok with it I know shit happens ... anyway... I've got some news I tell ya!

    First Thank you Greatdane for your advice had I read it sooner I may have taken it...now thinking about it I probably still could as right now both lower control arms are on the floor of the shop...


    :::Rant::::

    ...the STUPID thing about working on our beloved cars is that some of the suspension hasn't been removed for almost 20 years and I have found out the hard way on many occasions that it weilds hours of unforeseen work and aggravation!! Case in point both lower control arms had the bushing rust to the bolt and now require new bushings...(which may or may not be as hard as I think to do myself)...While removing the lower control arm out of the car I BROKE the head of the bolt that holds it to the frame of the car...like give me a fu<kin break...

    I managed ok with that problem by bending the bracket a little, sliding the control arm over a little, cut the bolt with a hack saw on the inside and after i got the control arm free I drenched what was left of the bolt several times with Liquid Wrench and was able to unscrew it with vice grips WHEW!

    I spent some time putting my newly upholstered ceiling and passenger side trim!!! LOOKS AWSOME if I do say so myself!!






    I admit I have flaws and I'm not afraid to show them...I am a first timer. I will fix all these issues one day by re doing the areas but not right now.


    I also painted some of the other interior pieces... it's nice because if I don't like gloss black or something happens to the finish these are easy to replace or fix .





    I picked up my Flywheel today as I had it lightened 3 pounds and resurfaced. I paid A bit more then I wanted as I wanted about 5 pounds off but they could only go 3 for me.



    A little surface rust won't hurt anything. :-)

    I did the Prelude adjustable upper control arms conversion to fix my camber issues :-) :-)


    Left Prelude control arm converted to fit the Accord, Center Accord normal, Right Prelude normal.


    I finished installing all my lowering suspension I believe My drop is 2 to 2.5 Inches I'm not sure because I grabbed the springs and shocks off a 91 Integra





    More body work in the near future I just needed a break!

    Hey all :-)

    The motor is now done but it's not quite mine yet... as there is still a small shim that I need to pull from pick-n-pull today... I'm so busy!!! as soon as I run that to Summerland I have to go to Kamloops for the night and then off to Vancouver later tomorrow afternoon!

    I'm LOVING my license back. I've put over 1000 Km on my beater since I got my license back on Friday.

    Here is a couple shot of the motor done:



    It says 0 KM!!!!!




    Mr.R cleaned up the Flywheel for me :-) No more surface rust!


    Looks Gooood :-)


    I went to Pick-N-Pull yesterday and got my two lower control arms $42 :-)




    -1 Lower Control arm.


    +1 Lower control arm :-)



    Here are Justin's Custom bars again but this time I also have a front strut tower brace (which took Several months to get here from 3gn86lxi I bought them in October of last year) which completes the Set of Stiffening components I have :-) WOOT!! THANK YOU JUSTIN AND RYAN!

    I place fitted everything to see what it would look like :-)






    I love the summer and roasting Z rated tires :-)

    Re: Gemini2003's Project Car Picture Post only Thread

    I sure did A lot of work today it feels like :-)

    Today I finished installing the suspension so no more worring about that :-)

    After compleating the suspension I moved on to the Brake rotors...the Cross Drilled brake rotors are much Bigger and the stock calipers don't work (too small) So I'll have to see if the legend or prelude calipers work better,.... DOES ANYONE KNOW OF BIGGER CALIPERS THAT BOLT TO OUR SETUPS?




    YES YES MY ENGINE IS AT MY SHOP!!!




    I finally took the blue pizza delivery bumper off... lol



    I also stripped my engine bay:

    Before (not the same engine bay just using as an example):

    After:



    I also washed the engine bay with easy off and soap with water... Lemon fresh!


    .


    It's shiney :-)

    I spent almost 12 hours in the shop today.... wow...

    tomorrow I have to go to pick -n pull to get an auto tranny for a friend of mine.... I'm getting good shouldn't take longer then 45 minutes or so.... of course i've done like 8 or 10 so far lol lol











    Goodnight...

    A little Picture Update:


    Just a comparison.


    Wow. That's clearence. (Less then the width of my pinky)


    I have "PIA" suspension! lol (like PIAA :-D )



    Here Is the LAST rust spot I need to fix on this car. Rust is a bad bad Cancer and it takes a lot of hard work to beat! Damn rust. Well it's going to pay off that's for sure.




    After this shot I sanded the remaning rust off. Did I mention I hate rust?



    Fiberglass Layer 1


    Fiberglass Layer 2 (after sanding in between layers... Also it's still wet that's why its more see-thru)

    Re: Gemini2003's Project Car Picture Post only Thread

    My car is finally on the ground again after that suspension fiasco... Let's see.. I wanted to put my lowering springs on and upgrade the rotors.... I ended up Replacing both Lower control arms because the bushings were toast... I also ended up replacing Spindles, Calipers and temporary rims because the drilled rotors are larger and required the 89 setup... not to mention the CV nuts I couldn't break with any tool in my shop and needed to take them to a garage to bust off with a 1000ft pound impact gun.... The end result is "PIA" suspension with Drilled rotors :-)



    Look at how low it is!! :-) !! That's me standing next to it and the engine bay only comes halfway up my thigh :-D alltho With the 16" rims and the hood on It'll probably raise 2 or 3 inches from where it is now.



    I spent a few hours sanding tonight and got more then two-thirds of my engine bay sanded






    Looks pretty darn good I'd say :-) It's late... I've had a long long day and my bed is 4 and a half feet away... GOODNIGHT.
