MR DC5R Diary

I painted mine already
I'm having custom made inner guards. ATM i don't have any guards in except the rear.

I hope you paint It faster then Norm,
I think he's waiting for the paint to mature in aged oak cask barrels.....

Good things take time i'd like to think!

Ahh okay, i'm not putting my inner liner (guards) back in. The rubber would destroy them i'd think! I'm going to have to cut the lip out on the inner part of the guard (the lip on the inside of guard) or else i think i'll have serious scrubbing issues later down the track i think!

Well small update for you guys to see.
Car has been at the shop for 2 weeks.. It's taking time but im happy so far with how it's coming.. Not particularly fussed with how long it's taken as im to busy with work at the moment.







All photos courtesy of the shop as i haven't had a chance to go in since i've been working..

I guess i'll reveal this !
Going to the shop on Monday to see how it's really progressing!



Once it's finished and back home from it's recent refurbishment i might keep the car away in hiding until Honda Nationals.. Might.. Just going tow the car around aswell to places it needs to go for adjustments etc as im losing so much time with work at the moment and finding minimal time for the car.. Last thing i want to do is sell it.

Mate looking good. I've always wonder'd how'd they blend the colours in with the rest of the body, considering the body is exposed to more sunlight than this fresh paint.

Well I actually asked for the whole front to be re-done in brand new Milano Red but the car will be receiving some polishing treatment whilst at the shop.
I'm not fussed if it doesn't provided a perfect match because then there car will look slightly odd.
Overall the paint is still is fairly good nick though so it should be okay!

Went passed today, overall works are completed! Few things to be done, hoping to have the car home tomorrow but it's looking more like Wednesday.
Very impressed with the work, it looks amazing.
I might bring it to the Vic Meet this Thursday night.

It should be there as i now have the car at home!
The car was completed at around 11ish and i was at the panel shop around 11.30am with my car sitting in the driveway.. I was amazed with how well it all came up from a-far then under closer inspection i was blown away. No runs, no mistakes, no dodgy work.. Just quality.
When the time comes in a few years 5 Star Motor Panel will be receiving my car AGAIN for the full works.

I ended up having the car towed home since i went to the shop with my work truck (rained off the job today) and as most have seen already on facebook it did look good on the car carrier!



I should have it out Thursday night then it'll probably sit at home getting bits and pieces done until Honda Nationals.
Really looking forward to April as it should be an AMAZING DAY!


Special thanks and shout to JDMConcept for providing all the newest parts to me
Thanks for Five Star Motor Panel in Fairfield, Vic.
& Also to Shift Towing for bringing the car home to me.
