When I bought it 12/25/09











Started fixing it up.

9293 corners, painted EXR rims, turned out one was bent, new hood



Current, as of 2/20/10











I have lots of plans for this car.

I have a Legend lip coming soon, planning full exhaust,header, lowering it, tinted windows, proper CAI, 5 speed swap, upgraded audio, bodywork and full repaint and probably some other stuff. But that'll all keep me busy in the meantime. This forum has really inspired me with the knowledge of the members and some of the cleanest Hondas I've ever seen.

Thanks. I'm actually not a fan of Solaris Silver. I find it just dull and boring. I'd prefer a nice bright metallic silver.

The hood is actually just gloss black Duplicolor spray paint. I got it off a white '93 EXR, and figured a white hood would look stupid, so I just sprayed it black with some paint I had laying around. I scuffed it with 220, degreased it, sprayed adhesion promoter on it, then a coat of primer and 2 coats of colour and no clear. Looks good enough to me.

Hooray Mike you finally made it lol. Love the wheels, headlights, and of course--the color. Keep us in the know, and get rid of that slushbox

Great platform to work with!!!!

Went to the scrap yard today. Found a Prelude steering wheel which I'm going back for next week cuz the front rotors were frozen in the ground and I couldn't lock the steering, so every time I tried to loosen the nut, the steering wheel would just turn.

While I was there, I grabbed a 93 front bumper, and I threw together a custom lip using my stock SE lip.

Basically, I attached the 93 lip to the bottom of my lip. It's just zip tied together for now, but I think I could mold it together to get rid of the gap and make nice clean edges and have a custom looking lip using OEM ones.

So what do you think? Should I go for it and try and mold it together?

Also, here's pics of the damage on my car from the stupid previous owner.

We need to trade seatbelts and front seats now lol. I never knew the DRL light was yellow ( in one of your pictures its on )

By the way what did you do with your sunroof visor i actually like that thing

[excalibur02]

heated mirrors?

the car looks a lot better then when you bought it. Vacuum that interior asap! lol

yup, heated mirrors. I have to admit, when I got it, it was definetly a very bland and boring car. Atleast it's on it's way to looking like something decent.

As for vacuuming...my cars stay fairly dirty inside during the winter, and spotless in the summer. I leave it dirty right now because I work on a lot of construction sites, so I get pretty muddy sometimes.

Yeah,the DRL light is on because I disabled them just by pulling the fuse. Maybe if I stick a paper clip in it, it'll override the idiot light.

Wow. That CB looks really good. Interior looks just like mine. Black leather FTW! I can't wait to see what you do with it.
Congrats on the Christmas purchase!

[crazymikey]

Is yours an SE too?

[crazymikey]

Ooooh new rear door. Rattle canned it. Came out kinda crappy. I'll redo it next week when I get paid. I'll have some solaris silver made up for me in a rattle can and do it.

Colour is a little lighter, but looks way better than the damaged door. Just need to fix the dog leg now. Still looks shitty, but looks better at the same time.

[crazymikey]

yeah I bought the whole bumper with the fogs and signals for $40.

The fogs are being traded to Tippey764 for a Legend lip. The turn signals are mismatched though. LH side is correct, but the RH one looks like its from another car cuz its a different shape. And the bumper isnt in all that great of shape.

I need to find a RH 92-93 signal lens, cuz I want to retrofit the 92-93 lenses into my 90-91 bumper. It required minimal trimming of the 9091 bumper, but I stuck the 9293 lenses in mine today and it looked pretty sweet. So if I can get my hands on one, I'm going to work on that.
