Brandon was posting off his iPhone. It never works right.

Anyway, the car is a 91 940 SE. 186k, good red interior, IRS with LSD (yeah, I made sure that worked

).

I spent today doing little things to the car as Brandon was at work. As as seen in the pictures above, the single stage white was badly oxidized. ~4 hours with a Porter Cable 7424 and Mizerna Super Intensive Polish brought the finish to an acceptable mirror finish. Much polish work is still needed to get the finish to a showroom level, but this a good start. I can see my reflection in the white in bright sunlight as it currently stands. The bonnet has a dent, so we will have to source another.

(Ignore that POS ricer Prelude in the background. Sidejobs.........

)

Anyway, the next step is removing the interior completly and cleaning every component, as well as repairing/replacing anything that is broken. I charged up the factory R12 system with propane, only to find out the ac compressor is making a terrible racket. It was blowing ice cold, but will need a compressor replacment before the system can be used.

Rear Nivomats are worn and sagging, so coilovers here we come!

That's the lowdown as she currently stands. It arrived at it's new home yesterday, so I consider the progress I've made today to be quite good.

Here is the Honda him and I have built:

Bumper removed due to clearance issues with the trailer when she was being hauled to the tuning shop.

Updates soon!

and the volvos paint came out nicely!

cookiemonster · 05-11-2012, 09:17 PM

Plans for it? Curious of what kinda power that honda put down?

Clay · 05-12-2012, 12:21 AM

Odd. My car's at 187k. Can't wait to see it before Nationals.

Mr white · 08-17-2012, 03:04 AM

Built B16 in the civic. Close to 300 at 11psi. When my boost controller
Comes back from warranty it will be tuned to 18psi.
I hope its close to 375 whp when it's done.

Mr white · 08-18-2012, 03:12 AM

I did the valve cover in a wrinkle coat then dremeled
The letters. I've replaced all the old valve cover
Nuts with some new stainless shinnies.

Praying my Volvo turns out to be as clean as
My civic.

okoye · 08-18-2012, 06:49 AM

Mr white · 08-18-2012, 10:19 AM

Krylon is the brand that I used but it's Been discontinued.
All the parts stores are switching over to VHT brand.
It also comes in black.

Mr white · 08-18-2012, 10:02 PM

BrickBoi · 08-19-2012, 02:16 AM

Mr white · 08-19-2012, 12:23 PM

Mr white · 08-19-2012, 08:20 PM

I love the way the wrinkle red looks. I'm going to do some brackets and intercooler piping with it.
