No, the holes are originally elongated and that's how they are set up stock with a standard washer and done up super tight, all I've done is make the already lengthened hole a little longer

They're literally just 2nd gen Prelude stock arms, they're camber adjustable from factory because of the elongated holes, so an upgrade from the non-adjustable Accord ones.

That's a good idea to make them better than factory, will look into it!

Well the engine is in finally! Still loads to do but it's a massive milestone and I'm so happy. VERY minimal bay-paint damage getting it in too! (oh yeah, the bay is painted now, just the underside of the bonnet that needs doing still! and inside at a later date)

And a few other shots from when it got washed down the other day.

Not sure why the camber looks so extreme in that last shot though, it's not that bad

Great work Becca. You've got me looking at that Champagne Aerodeck up for sale at the moment. Looks perfect!

Is that the mega expensive one? Sold recently for £2750 obo and is back up for sale for a little less? Looks a minter! I'd like to have seen before/during photos of the 'full resto' for that price though otherwise I'd be worried it's all filler

Nice to see they're going up massively in price though when I own two

So everything bay wise is now painted. Bay, hinges, bolts, and now finally the bonnet is done!

It's not perfect but I only wanted it to not stand out as being red on a green car, otherwise it looks like bloody christmas, especially with the gold tints too

Tell me about it. I bought mine just before the hype for £325!

And yeah, the champagne gold one that has had a full respray in its original colour.
