One side sand blasted, will get some paint on the bits over the coming few days

Wow they look good!

Have you fitted new boots to the ball joints as well, or have they also just cleaned up?

Nope, all original rubber. To be honest I was surprised how well the rubber has lasted, the only parts I'm replacing are front and rear drop links and o/s steering rack boot

I've got the last of the suspension bits in the boot of my car ready to blast after a few afternoons on the car... More excitingly though I've started putting her back together - she has a front end again

Annnd, I'd forgotten how awesome she looks, despite the very dodgy paint and unfinished bumper mods

Really happy how the slight mods and relocated number plate look

I'm getting excited

You and me both!

We definitely need a meet up of our ludes when you get her finished

Certainly sounds like a plan lad

After the past few days progress today was a bit of a let down - I'd planned to run her for a while and change the oil but would she start? That would be a no then

I checked a few things and quickly found there was no spark, which clearly isn't going to help the combustion process. A few more checks and I've found there's no continuity on the secondary ignition coil but only after accidentally pissing oil all over my nicely steam cleaned gearbox housing

Next I started checking a few other bits and pieces to find my n/s headlight isn't working so I'll have to pull the front end apart again. I can't get at the bulb with the headlight fitted after my HID projector retrofit

Prelude ownership is a roller coaster

Lots to do in the next week if I've got any chance of getting her back together over the bank holiday weekend! I definitely don't want to find any more problems but I have a sneaking suspicion I will

The bumper...

Looking good bud.

The bumper does remind me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it

Just come out of the garage... Finished work at 5 and went straight into the workshop to clean up the last few bits of suspension... What seemed like a few minutes later my phone vibrated - wife calling. It turned out it was half past 8 and my dinner was going cold

Fortunately I was just finishing off the last bit so went home, ate dinner then got painting...

I've also picked up a new coil and fitted it to the dizzy, hopefully that will cure my starting issues

Shitloads still to do
