That is starting to look mint,

How much is the repro kit again... lol

finally got jason the master pannelbeater round to smooth out my doors properly today,problem was we were all a bit stale from an allnight club mission in kings cross lastnight so didnt really achieve as mutch as i wanted but we are going to finish the doors next weekend and hopefully start on the rear quarters.

a couple of pics nothing exciting(except my brother in a rather fetching mullet wig!)no i dont feature in any of the pics.


this guy is good and really takes pride in his work,even when still wasted from the night before lol.
more exciting pics next week matt

Haha looks good bro, that wig is awful

We were a bit down on productivity today from some drinks last night too heh.

mate , just read this post top to bottom and the car looks incredible!
that kit is amazing, and if you could be so kind as to share where you acquired it that would be much appreciated!

hope to see some more progress soon, keep up the solid work.

Peace,
Hayden

thanks for the words of encouragement mate.
the kit was made in japan for me at great expense and is no longer available anymore but gingernuts from this forum has made moulds for it and is willing to sell a copy or two i expect that the price would be around 2 grand if you are interested pm him.
haven't made mutch progress lately as i am still waiting for my mate to come round and do the other door however i did strip out all the sound deadening off the floor so the interior can be painted.

Ahhh, japan you say.... gutting was just over there this year in jan / feb. if only I hada known then what I know now....

I would be interested in talking prices for a kit. its definitely something I see asset to any honda city

being in japan wouldnt have helped you get a bodykit,from what i understand the guy who had the molds over there was in his seventies and had to be nagged by kazaoka to even consider laying up a kit for me!
besides i was the poor bastard who went first gingernuts can make you one for like half of what i payed!
matt

well I definitely would have missed him then,
hows work progressing on the vehicle? and positive progress ... pics perhaps?

had jason round again the sarvo to do more on the lhs door,still not done he should be back next week some time.
no pics sorry its really not that exciting

updates?

keep up the good work, this thing is looking tough.

In regards to your wheels, do you think that this is as big as you could go with that kit, both in size of the wheel (width and diameter) and offset?

yeah ime pretty sure that is as big as possible in every way,and i would have been a lot happier if i could have done it with 13 or 14 in wheels but nothing was available.
as it stands there is going to be very limited suspension travel in order to keep the car at a respectable ride height without looking like a 4x4.
i have been working on the car a little,i basically need to paint the car next but cant afford to being so close to christmas.

Coming along slowly.

What are you doing for suspension/adjusting ride height?

i am using the bigelboe custom suspension system.
