LegendLand · 08-10-2009, 04:52 PM

Ok, I finally got a chance to upload pics so here's a chronicle of the past week of work:

Repairing a cold solder in the main relay...

Replacing the master cylinder:

Painting the valve cover...

Doing a complete tuneup...

Putting in the liquid gold into my tranny

How the body of my Accord sits today...

The interior as it sits today:

wow man, you work fast! jealous of all the daytime garage time you have, I cant even make it through an oil change without TWO fans, HUUUGE drink, sweat towel, and at least SEVEN breaks inside with the A/C

are you painting it yourself or just doing the prep work?

Thank you!!! Yes, I love my garage. I spend most of my time there lol. And it hasn't been terribly hot here so it's been nice to work outside.

I'm actually painting the whole car myself... I'm going to convert the garage into a paint booth and spray it myself. I painted part of Goldie a few weeks back and it turned out great so I think I have the skill to paint the whole car. The body job is going to save me up to $4000 i figure.

Yes I did remember to remove the grommet.

And I knew that autolites would get bad reviews on here... but in order to save money, it had to be done. They work much better than the ones I had in there at least. I just couldn't see spending a fortune on NGKs or anything like that for this car.

Thanks for the comments!

Thanks for the comment Lou!

I sanded down the wiper arms with 400 grit sandpaper, used etching primer and then painted with flat black... I used hi-temp but that is not necessary. It's just what I had on hand at the time

The finished product turned out great.

Haha thanks

I must say that this car is taking up alot of my time... My family thinks I'm crazy for doing so much work on this car but you know, I love every minute of it

But yes, I do still see my family, chat with friends, eat, sleep, and post on here even though I'm working on this project so much.
