My little (not really...) project - Soon to be all done?!?

[domi]

Virtual beer all around!!!!!

Have fun driving the car and don't you forget those pics =)))

p.s. don't get me wrong, it's very helpful for us seeing all the in-rpogress pics, but i'd love to see more of the whole car complete. Can't wait to see your winter project for that matter

Looking great!, but what's that brown smudge under the right rear light?

[mr monster]

its so nice

[EE80Liftback]

Looks great!

Quite an offtopic question: Why did you get a new registration number after restoring the car?

Here in the Netherlands we have licence plates staying with a car during all of it's life span. I know in lots of countries plates stay with the owner, so is the first photo just one with the plate of a previous owner or was your old number removed when you took the car off the road?

[domi]

Very nice indeed!
Love the colour, is it that Honda gray that was mentioned earlier on?

[Jan Pedersen]

Thanks guys I'm happy you like it :!:

Ivan, the brown stuff is Tectyl to prevent the car rusting from the inside (Don't know the word in english ). Since it was rather warm these last few days it started running.

EE80, I removed the plates 2 years and 11 days ago but who is counting??? Because otherwise I'd have to pay tax and insurance...

domi, it is not the honda color, but it is very similar.

Evaluation after the first 500 km:

Suspension is just great! The more speed the better it feels! On the country roads it lays very flat and it seems to have allmost endless grip I any of you are thinking about getting new bushes - just get it done!

There is some kind of ratteling noise that is driving me insane Right now I suspect gearbox and the drive shaft... Other than that I must say that it is a pleasure to drive it again - I really missed it!

[banpei]

Awesome!
Rattling noise?
