Project WTF??? - 1991 Honda City

A full respray is easily doable with spray cans so long as you've got a steady hand and don't go down to the last bit of paint in the cans.

Lol no i took the rear suspension off to stop them getting nicked while its sat on the drive!

And to keep them clean

are you feeling ok? on a serious note dude needs some serious rocket v arse treatment. was that far along 6 months ago!

Can't take it any further till i have an engine... I'm half way to a Busa

This thread is sooo funny!!! I saw the update pic above and thought WTF that's an update?!! so then I started at page 1

Can't wait to see it when it's done! Is the pic in the avatar before it dropped a valve on the original engine then I presume?

Yeah that was the first and only trackday the car has done... so i don't Realllllly know how it handles

i'm going to piss myself when you first take it out WHEN its finished and it handles like utter shite!

I'm sure with the right suspension and a quick engine it will be quite good fun!!

a mars landing will happen first
