I had a few nights off so i got started on my body modifications.
First i ripped all the faded moldings off the side, and shaved the holes. Then I pulled the rear wiper apart, spot welded a piece of metal behind it, then shaved the hole. I then filled in a few dings, fixed a couple small rust spots, the body was very straight for an 89, looks like it was garaged most of its life, but it was BROWN!!
After hours of sanding and pudding, i went and bought a new HVLP paint gun, and a gallon of primar and lacquer thinner. I couldnt stand the goldish brown color my car was so i just went ahead and primared the whole thing. This was my first time to paint a car but i have done lots of body work way before this car, so it was done right.
And yes those are 18" Wheels, at 42 LBS each!! :disappoin as every racer knows these are way too BIG. But i got them from a freind close to free and i just bought some new 16" Konig rims :iceslolan and i already got these rims sold. My Konig rims should be here any day know.

There's no way those rims weigh 42lbs each... maybe with tires, but I doubt it. Mine weigh 26lbs each.
Looks good though. I'd much rather see some primer than the Honda Nuclear Banana Tan.

The weight was with tires, sorry probably should have mentioned that. I put one of the rims w/ tire on my house scale, 42 LBS. Yea, i agree that banna tan is by far the worst color for these cars, unless honda came out with a 4th gen in pink or something. Not to mention the inteior looks like ugly as hell, but im working on that next.
