    I thought It looked to shiny to be primer, still wet maybe,
    Thinking I might have to make a special trip over to see this once it's back together

      Yes you definitely should.

      Which car would you bring? Either way it'd be fun to have a Honda gathering in town.

      Anytime you wanna come down let me know man.

              Cheers guys!

              The old ABS unit ran a dedicated controller which was in the cabin. This gets removed and the new ABS module has the control unit built in.

                Did some more cleaning. This area is being painted too but needs to be clean before prepping of course.







                I love these alloy components.


                Cleaned up the spare wheel bracket a little bit too.

                    You might even get to sit in it one day!

                      Bumper preparation. Removing all paint is always the best way if possible to avoid the paint cracking later from excess buildup of paint thickness.

                      Bumpers blasted with gernie removed much of the paint.


                      Front bumper had a previous repair which will be redone properly to correct a low spot. Flexible plastic filler will be used instead of conventional body filler.

                      I'll probably replace this bumper eventually but the timeframe and cost doesn't allow this to happen right now. (New OEM bumper is around $2k!)

                              What did you use to clean the engine bay? Looks immaculate already!

                                It's not the engine bay - more the 'spare wheel, battery and radiator bay'! hehehe

                                I used some degreaser, just a water based one diluted, various small brushes to loosen the stuck grime etc. Then a Gernie to blast it all off!

                                The aluminium spare wheel bracket I cleaned with an Autosmart Product called 'Ali'. Autosmart Products. It's an amazing product, takes your breath away (literally - the acid is fairly potent).
