Saving the Goldfish IV

The continuing coverage of my build has begun.

This will be a lengthy post so please bear with me. The car is almost done so I’m trying to dump everything here as much as I can. 

Here’s a shot of the wheels and the tailights chilling at the back of the workhorse. 

I went to Honda and picked up all the factory goodies that i needed so that we could reinstall the windshield properly. It’s amazing that sometimes the dealership is now the one giving you great deals because everybody else is reselling parts for explicit markups. Shame. 

Visited the car and look at the color! Can’t say that this was the color I wanted because it is not. Let’s hope I come to the notion of liking this particular color. 

My friend from the Honda Club forums sourced out this EUDM rear foglamp. Very awesome. Puro rear foglamp na likod ko! Haha. 

Bought a box of vinyl dye spray. Will be using this somewhere. 😊

Here’s some of the stash that I have. 

Doors we got from an EG8. Too bad time was short and I had to complete the car as soon as possible.  We ended up stripping the door for parts to use on my existing door. 

More of the work being done. 

Look what I got. A pair of mismatched Brides! An Ergo and a Brix!  Period correct bitch. 😊 

They are gonna be a bitch to use, but I will make them work. 

Decided to clean the tailights while we were at a buddy’s place. 

The car is slowly taking shape! 

Some random stickers! 

Sample JDMU sticker! 

Had some dealership plate replicas made too! Do you know what the other stickers’ history came from? 

Since 1999. Our humble car crew.

PRS making quick work on my dashboard. It looks fucking fresh! 

Motor getting its electricals done. 

View of the shop. Powerhouse Race Specialists. Located in Antipolo. It is in Bankers Village 2. Bankers Village 1 was where the old H3autoworks stood until the passing of our friend. It has since been renamed as CH3autoworks Auto Detailing. 

Interior being worked on. Look at that raggedy ass long armrest. 

More care packages arrive! This time from our friends in Dynamics! Thanks GMs! 

Most of the interior pieces are back on with new door cards. 

Hard to find STR cam gears now, got this from the great Bong Hilario. 

Some bits and pieces being installed along with the coilovers and the camber kit. 

Got some meat from Federal care of D’Lucky M Tire Center! 

Shift plate from Circuit Hero

Pristine Auto Care hooked us up with their cleaning materials. Thank you sir! Can’t wait to use them! 

We just finished retrieving the 5Zigen exhaust from the metalworks shop nearby. So clean! 

That’s all for now. Will upload more in the coming days
