Welding, Grinding, Primer, Sanding, Grinding, Primer, Sand, Weld....a lil' bit of filler...sand, prep, primer, paint.
It was a nightmare. Could have taken the easy way out and bondo'd everything, but we did it the right way! Welded all the holes shut.
I have to say, Honda metal is HORRIBLE to try and weld with. its really crappy quality.
Just another day at the shop.  |
That is an INSANE amount of hours, LOL. It does show though, the engine bay is a work of art. I fixed your user title for you by the way  |

So what was your goal when you decded to build this car? Show? Cool daily driver? from the pictures the craftmanship looks great, I was just wondering why a predlude. I've thought aboutputting together a Honda hatch for road racing because the runing cos of there series is so much less.

the new m5 body would be cool. it seems like price isnt really the biggest issue with you on things so beefing up an m5 would be amazing to see done. or if you can afford an m5 then maybe you could consider the audi R8 sense its in a similar price range and a sexy car. either way u seem to do good work so im down to see whats next from you
