Morning Vanzep, yup, can't wait to get my hands on the beast. Aaron reckons Friday so I am keeping fingers crossed for that day. Mind you, I don't want to rush things so I'm trying to keep calm and not hassle him every ten minutes.
Actually on the cost I will share the bill with you guys, not in a sneering "oh-look-at-what-I-pay" but more of a maybe getting stuff from Momentom may be a cost saving option for you guys.
Anyway, I'll put up the bill over the weekend and we can compare what I've paid to what perhaps the average cost per part and labour would have been back in Blighty.

The final parts of the simonc rebuild puzzle are ready to go on today.
The front suspension arms delivered yesterday. (Genuine Honda parts, thank God)

Brake hoses, new pads for the front and the strut brace. (Arrived this morning)

Whoo hoo! She's nearly ready for a hypersonic blast down to Singapore on which I intend to break my existing record of 10 hours door to door.

Hi all, well here she is, fully sorted and terrifying quick and sounding like a banshee wail. All in all I’m really pleased with the work that the guys at Momentom have done, the bushing makes the whole car feel so much tighter and obviously those upper arms have made a real difference.
The brakes are a dream now and other than that bloody front wing (next on the agenda) I am absolutely thrilled with my Prelude.
Here are a few snaps of Blue Beauty back home after a damn good washing. Hope you like the overall look.

The new upper arms and brake lines.

Final bits of work by the Momentom guys

Bummer, my OCD means I'll have keep polishing these damn things!

More silicon than Dolly Parton

I love the look of this thing! (Sad, I know...)

Home at last

Shining in the late afternoon sun (note right side only to avoid seeing the bloody dented wing)

I think the bay looks rather nice now

Sorry to bore but here's another.

Well, that's most of the dirty bits done, now to focus on the bodywork and get her 100%. Regards to you all.
