Got hit by the data lost last month, having to remake this.

Immediate future plans:

On the way back, Ended up being a night mission, didnt get into bed til 2.30am due to road diversion and loading and unloading etc.



9am the next morning, all 3 CB's!! just lol



The goodies:

OEM Dash mat



Leather steering wheel



Full electrical adjusting seat



Mint grey leather





4WS System



Different rear suspension geometry to my other 2








Dirty F22A3 will be cleaned





Odd centre console setup to mine due to higher centre tunnel for the 4ws



It also has the rear caliper on the other side of the disc, facing forward, dont have pic of this yet, not taken the wheels off.


Video of what the 4ws is like and does. This is a prelude, but identical system.

So while the site was down, i have finished detailing and correcting the paint , im now working on the interior, not that it need much more than a ocd hoover leather condition, and trim wipe.

There are 3 major damages to work on, front left corner, rear left corner, and this side panel below



Correction hit 1



Correction hit 2 90% perfect...it will do for now.







Hope you guys like!

More pics details progress to come etc

sooo jealous this thing must be fun as hell to drive

[marcusv8thunder]

Will be getting this thing on the road this week, plan to get it MOT'd and taxed so that its legal, then drive this beaut!

[lindiz]

Very nice Marcus, your work on the door paint really turned out well! 4ws Accords don't exist in either Finland nor Sweden (never seen one at least). Take good care of her

[marcusv8thunder]

Thanks Robert! I will

Well it went for its MOT, it failed, as expected. However not on much,

Blowing exhaust, Front right ABS sensor, Excessive tyre age.

Could be worst for a 20 year old car, so ill get a plate welded on that exhaust hole, get a new sensor on, and put on the 16" alloys from the silver Accord for the MOT. Ill swap the wheels back after, as they been quite picky there i think, the tyres have 4mm on them and only have small cracking in the outer tread blocks.

Then its drivable!!

[lindiz]

Ah could be worse, those sensors are very expensive from Honda but maybe you'll find a used working one=)

Good luck next time at the MOT, I'm sure it'll pass

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

I'm so jealous!!! I really want 4ws and everything that this car has, lol. Keep up the good work.

Yep i got 14 days free retest, so i got to get that stuff done in that time, should be doable with a coupe of cups of tea!

I'm so jealous!!! I really want 4ws and everything that this car has, lol. Keep up the good work.

will do im trying!

Its difficult, you can either work loads, get lots of money, but then have no time to spend it! or work less, have time but cant buy any bits haha

[heero357]

enjoy it bro

[marcusv8thunder]

Exhaust taken to a man with hardly any teeth to weld a little plate for the exhaust, will be done tomoro. Tick

ABS sensor on its way thanks to Jarrett . Tick

Tyres to swap tomoro.

Then ready for a retest

Dismantled the boot, took this shiny beaut out pumped it up, minty fresh, still has Honda balancing wieghts! Time warp!



Started on the engine bay,

Before



After



Just a pressure wash and degrease so far, more detailing and wire tidying to go tho.

Also had both front seats out and cleaned them and the carpet.

yuck



After, better, cant get ride of that white sqiggle, seems to be bleach or something, anyway its hidden under the seat!

[Koochologist]

Loving the car, never seen ones of these. Wish I could see it in person. Also good job on the detailing

[marcusv8thunder]

So yeah, update, 4 uniroyals have been added, its a long story, but i thought the tyres were fine, but i cant get it through MOT and then drive it without new ones, it mean another car wont have wheels!

New EBC black stuff pads, have been purchased.

So once this ABS sensor comes hopefully friday or monday, we can get this MOT passed.

[tommi]

wow that centre tunnel goes all the way back. it like separates the driver from everyone else. no road headies for u marky LOL

[marcusv8thunder]

Haha Tommi, it doesnt lend it self good to that, but then neither does any modern rwd car for that matter.

[marcusv8thunder]

It hasnt taken long but we got a good result here boys

MOT PASSED!!

Lets get this cruiser on the road!!
