Once its dried and polished i recon the color match will be pretty dam close

Goy a run and a sag to fix in a couple weeks when properly dry then wet sand and polish , fairly happy with the repair done in random carparks

Durring the evenings ive been working on this , going to be a custom sub and amp enclosure (picked up an all in one fly combo that i stripped down for the internals weirdly enough was also only £30) The black fabric tape is just there to hold it all together whilst the titebond wood glue sets (its made from mdf) the origional cover still fits over) there will be a hole in the origional cover so the sub will stick out but not further than say the wheel arch at most so i dont loose usable load space. Still got loads to do on it but its a as and when i get a free night to do some work on it

The slow boat from china arrived and the £30 airfilter arrived, had to do a small bit of fettling by making a 90° joint for coolant as had to replace the rocker cover breather and the origional hard lines are bonded together. Also the vtec has 3 ports in the origional hose and this had 2 so a wee drill hole and a grommet and all was good. It has a simota ? Air filter same as eurocarparts sell but i will be getting a better reputable brand at somepoint. Part load/throttle and its no louder than a standard setup , put the foot down and its propper loud lol and you i can now here vtec kick in quite clearly. Its certainly the most fun £30 ive spent so far, now i need to remove the strut brace and paint it blue. Manged to pick up an alloy rad at the weekend for £30 (preowned with aftermarket hoses and fan) also got a vti coupe magnaflow rear can so working on that to change the flange and add a hanger that was also £30 so got over the drama and moving on. On one of the many trips to halfords for body work supplies i also picked up a tin of vht satin black to paint the rocker cover with aswell

Well managed a quick blow over today to highlight fine fettling still required but its presentable for now i recon , will need to go to the autopaint specialist tomorrow to see about getting some good paint now
