LOL, up, down, up, down. This story has had more twists than an epic drama!

:cry: I've just been reading my old project thread on another forum about my Civic and it has truly inspired me to stop whinging like a bitch and get this car sorted out. It's given me a wake up call and judging by the responses I was getting from the old car, I have it in me to get this thing looking good.
Patience is the key (and a garage would help :roll: ), the strongest point of this car is the fact it can be driven legally (Has an MOT and a windscreen unlike the last project).
Keep watching folks.

We've all seen this picture before, but this time it's staying like this
(well, when I say staying I might mean, some more of it may be going)

Interior dye goodness collected over the weekend. I think 5 litres wil be enough 8)
It is also good for dyeing rubber and plastics. :D
-
Hmm, a guy off my local Jap car club is selling these (I think they are 17's) and I know they are pretty similar to my TSW's but he only wants £60 for them (a set of 5) so I've offered him a swap for mine, or I might lump up the cash?
-
I'd take em at that price regardless… :shock:
-
same, If I was closer, I'd pay the £60.

Still waiting for a reply on the wheels and I have started dyeing the interior, looks a bit messy at the moment so I'm not bothering with pics but once it's done I think it's going to look quite good, I've even used it on the door plastics and its brought them up beautifully.
I gave the bonnet a first coat of the satin paint yesterday and cleaned the car down today and this is why I love satin paint
It looks stunning when it's wet and beads like this. Now I can't wait for the weather to truly open its arms (with sun!) so I can get this project moving in the right direction!

So much for not spending much on the car this year :roll:

:D hopefully picking up new wheels tomorrow. Need refurb and new tyres but all good. 8)
-
should reduce that arch gap nicely!

Probably will, but will need much more lowerness with the extra height the wheels will give the car. I think I'll have to think about coil overs.

New wheels :D
and next to the 15's
I would put them on the car but it's raining and I seem to have misplaced my jack handle (and there's only 1 legal tyre on them).
-
sorry to ask his but what you doing with you 15's

Not too sure yet bud. I'm keeping them until I get some new rubber on the 17's and see if I like them. I'm thinking I might keep them for winter as 17's and snow = not fun.
It also depends on how sick the missus gets of my wheel collection growing in the house :lol:
-
Looks like they need a bloody good wash first off. :D
