This how my car was just as i was beginning to enjoy it
Image
After joy sometimes come sorrow
Image
The restoration begins

The night before it was painted

The pics don't even start to show the stress and frustration I have had to endure over almost a period of a year.This restoration although nearing completion is not for the faint at heart but i decided that the accident was an opportunity to begin with a clean slate. So i am posting these pics not only for the honda lovers like myself but to all car guys that sometimes you can't listen to the crowd but blaze your own trail"DON'T BE A FOLLOWER BE A LEADER"
So to my fellow honda brethren I will see you on the road soon.

The engine work is a whole other story.lol

Constructive comments and suggestions welcome.

Okay here goes it has been a very long time since my last post because upon closer inspection of the radiator panel and aprons some short cuts were taken by the straightener. So I was really upset and to cut a long story short I really was tired mentally with the project but not enough to be done with it. I needed some time to regroup, so a good friend of mine allowed me to keep the car in a warehouse in the O'mera industrial estate. Needless to say it remained there from December 2009 to some time in may 2010. So I took it to a good friend of mine to fully assess what was required. He said I should change the radiator panel along with the two aprons, so I got a bare CD6 front cut with sub frame for about 500 dollars from a friend who just wanted to get rid of it after doing his H22 swap,and the surgery began.

Now this was really a hands on experience for me because I wanted to really see what this sort of work required. Additionally I have ordered front and rear camber kits. poly sway bushings, poly ball joints caps, poly end links etc. Today with alot of help from my friend ganzie, we finally painted the engine bay. Now I chose something very loud (meaning colour) to really contrast against the soon to be done over exterior.
All comments welcomed.
