codyh Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Welp not gonna lie thats alot of space you took but thats ok!!! More updates... And Mike I do not plan on rebuilding the motor now... Compression was super strong.... And it runs good, Just need to fix its hesitation. Man surprised nobody has anything to say! These are day two's updates!!! As promised. http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/216311_10150149084041099_741701098_6783766_6017409_n.jpg Those body shop guys have eyes for dents, dings, andand primer waviness. And they circled it all for me to fix!!! They also were able to tell that my car has been painted black numerous times. http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/206840_10150149084286099_741701098_6783767_1250195_n.jpg Fixed rear rust and started on some dents. http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/207868_10150149084971099_741701098_6783771_4629355_n.jpg Said the top of this fender needs to be DA'ed and skimmed with body filler, and sanded again, and again and again! http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/208235_10150149084611099_741701098_6783768_3592289_n.jpg When we slapped on the filler! http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/215389_10150149084811099_741701098_6783769_4932442_n.jpg More slapped on. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/208663_10150149084886099_741701098_6783770_7829938_n.jpg And just an idea of the tools I am using! God bless these guys for letting me use all of their snap on stuff! All of it is snap on. Also I brought in a picture of Phunhaus's bay to help give them an idea. http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/216415_10150149085101099_741701098_6783772_5952490_n.jpg After alot of sanding. The greenish filler is just more that i added. http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/217018_10150149085211099_741701098_6783773_8253951_n.jpg Metal working guys used their hammer skills (which were amazing!!!!) to fix this area of warped metal, and grinded a piece to fit in there!!! It came out almost immaculant!! The boss and I were watching youtube videos of boosted supras on his phone while we were watching him work the metal! haha But i gaurentee i did alot of labor stuff. I just was not able to hammer metal like him.. http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/206513_10150149085341099_741701098_6783774_4251999_n.jpg Smoothed http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/218149_10150149085561099_741701098_6783777_6348570_n.jpg Is alot more smooth than it looks. http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/207430_10150149085631099_741701098_6783779_4338673_n.jpg More smoothness... http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/217095_10150149085751099_741701098_6783782_1493837_n.jpg Absolute Motivation.

ShoMeSomeFun Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Glad to see your taking a lot of pride in your build especially at 16. Most kids expect their parents to either buy the car or do all the work. Also this is bringing up alot of memories with my dad and I building my first ride which is about 10 years in and on a 4th motor so be happy at the rate of progress your making.

frenchy chan Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Awesome! We have an '86 prelude. It's my husband's dd/winter car. Body/interior are in great shape just some rust (way less than you'd expect for the year) My husband has been fixing all sorts of stuff on it, but no where to this extent. Nice job!

jeffro Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Looking great. BTW, when painting your valve cover, your not supposed to actually paint the vtec part. you take sand paper, sand the paint off, then polish the aluminum.

PRD2BDF Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hey look, another Cody on the forum. My name is Cody as well, duh... Two questions...well one question and one comment. Comment: The car looks awesome, I'm truly impressed. I'm not sold on the stance, I never liked those kind of stances but if that's what you like then awesome. Question: What wheels are you planning on running? I may have overlooked if you did mention. I hope it's not stock wheels, that kind of bodywork deserves good wheels. And for the love of God, please no two nice wheels in the back and two steelies up front... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codyh Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Ya I thought I said what wheels but guess not. Also Im not sure exactly what you mean by stance. Considering there are no suspension parts on the new lude. Were you talking about the old one??? Anyways these are the wheels I will be running. I already own them so its not a "will be someday." kind of thing http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs304.ash2/58446_621170926569_24807363_35920461_2271796_n.jpg specs: maker:Volk/Rays engineering class: VR model: GR-A evolution 4 size: 17x7, +35 offset bolt patter: 4/5x114 date made: 8/22/1995. very very rare rims.

PRD2BDF Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Oh deary me. I overlooked that you replaced the car already. But yes, I was referring to that. What will the stance look like on this car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyh Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Im hoping sorta flush? Maybe just a nice clean look. I cant really explain it... It wont be sitting in as far as they were tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
