I havent driven since October 2011, when I sold my Saxo VTR while living in Northern Ireland, to raise money for moving to London UK where I live now. My girlfriend and I have been talking about getting a car again for a number of months, it HAD to be a Honda <3 I have always wanted a Honda but it never worked out before.

I have started to clean her up, hoovering etc. She has been owned only by two women.

The original Honda mats were very stained so I have started to clean them up with Auto Glym shampoo.

I have about 15 months experience working as a mechanic so I'm gonna be doing work on the car myself, as much as I can thought at the moment I have no tools, I need to get them delivered from my Grans in N.Ireland.

My plans, at the moment, are simple, cleancleancleeeeean, get insurance sorted next week, and DRIIIIIVE!
Then I will see what comes next.....

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

I genuinely don't know what you mean or what part of the rules you mean sorry

 

That's just part of his signature.

Welcome! A project from a foreign land is always interesting. I've never even seen that motor before! It looks like it has a y8 intake manifold and a y7 exhaust manifold. Interesting.

What sort of plans do you have for her? It is a she, right?

 

hiiii
its been a while, and i now live in Glasgow, Scotland. We drove from London, England about 600miles which was an awesome roadtrip




So basically a had my passenger side window smashed a number of weeks ago in Glasgow, and heres parts of it which i collected in a crisp bag at the time...



So i got a window from a breakers yard and installed it myself, then a couple weeks after that.....





someone decided to redesign the side of her, i have been able to pop it out a bit but not fully yet!

i got some touch up paint from Honda today, she has a number of tiny chips and things






this past weekend i installed new plates on her






I have removed the wheel trims, i like how the steelies look im gonna sand them and spray in satin black.


The rear bumper needs replaced its badly cracked and chipped from previous owner so I will be going to my local breakers this week to see if they have one! also i'll be looking out for mats while im there!

 

old bumper -







'New' bumper before i cleaned it, got it for £25

 

Car is getting a bath tonight. Been working at trying to get the dent out, as best i could anyway.
So far....
