Yeah it took a while but it was fun. I like working on cars and I wanted to see what I could do with that fender. Of course ideally I would have the close to 1,000 dollars laying around to have it fixed properly, but the experience was fun. It's not perfect, but I'm proud of it and I can say "look how it used to look...I made it look like this in my garage" haha.

Sounds good to me. Exactly why I asked. I prefer to try stuff myself too.

Washed the car today and drove the heck out of. Not driving this thing for a week has me already dreading winter. I may relocate to a climate that gets no snow.

Well it's been a slow couple months but I got productive this week and put the door handle on the inside of the passenger door back on. When I got it it was barely held in by hot glue and sub flooring calk. I went to Honda and bought the appropriate clips.

I've also put in a new VTEC sylonoid gasket stopping only oil leak, as well as last night put in new spark plugs.

The wheels are awful as you can see

but considering new wheels are going going to cost 1,000 plus and I just don't have the money I have decided to clean them up the best I can. After 2 hours today this is what I have on one wheel. In my opinion it looks leaps and bounds better and I can't wait to finish this one as well as the other three.

Other than that I just cleaned the interior really well as well as washed, clay barred, and waxed the exterior today.

Thank you for looking. As I said originally, this car is going somewhere but it's moving slowly.

+1. . Did you seal the bondo correctly? Itll crack in about a month if not. With that leading edge right by the headlight, any tiny bit of water will get into any unsealed bondo fo sho

Well it's been 3 months and so far so good. Honestly it was more out of boredom and to see what I could do to it. If I still have that fender on there 3 months from now I'm going to be upset. The fender will go in the trash as soon as I'm done.
