thanks marshavoc, haha, im sure a s600 project would appear on your doorstep one day

New parts arrived from Germany, oversized pistons (that will fit this time), lower arm link and some bushes

Also, some progress from the painter, 2nd base coat applied, finishing up some details.

.Look at the first gen accord too :mrgreen:

This is turning out great. Can't wait to see it painted!

kev84 · **Posted:** Fri Jun 04, 2010 5:47 am

thanks guys. yeah im waiting for the paint job myself

ed, the 1st gen accord is a 1 owner car. the owner had it for 20 over years now, bought it for about 27,000 ringgits in the 80s, which at the moment the exchange foes for (1 USD = 3.20 ringgits).

but yes, rare to find first owner cars of these age now. even my s600 had only one owner before me

anyways, final base coat, then after that paint! but still filling up the microholes.

here's the nice chrome job!
