    Sweet VTiS Civic mate!
  5. Dave
    That looks pretty mint mate, nice clean MB that. 1.5vtec is a decent wee engine. Really nice base to start with.
  6. Dave
    Not sure who it was then lol Hows the build coming along mate?
  7. Dave
    Yeah, quite a few suffering from this now as the original glue breaks down through age. Only way around it is to remove the whole headlinging from the car and then remove the material. Get some heavy duty fabric glue or contact adhesive and spray the headliner, then carefully put the material back on, starting on one of the long sides (could possibly put a few staples along the edge too) then go to the other side and spread the material across from the side youv'e just done. Then do the shorter sides, removing any wrinkles or slack. Finally you can do the corners. If done correctly, and with a decent glue, it should last a long time. Hope this helps mate. I do like the sound of all the led's in the roof, that would look cool! Especially cool if at any shows/meets etc.

    Oh, and give @10000rpm a shout for those parts mate, if anyone's got them Naz has.
  9. Dave
    Not sure mate, I think Chandlers maybe going so might be worth giving him a buzz.
  10. Dave
    Would have loved to go but unfortunately can't. Think there may be a few from here going, although we don't have a stand at the show so they will be going with other clubs etc.

    And she passed her MOT. Will be taking her shortly and getting her out and about again! So £36 plus the vat was pretty good going for a 20 year old car getting through the mot. She's done us proud once again. Love this car!
  12. Dave
    Oh, and her mirrors are colour coded now (found out they were already colour coded but had been badly sprayed with some cheapy satin black paint. Bit of thinners and off it came! Isn't done in the photos above but is on the mini meet ones further up the page with Robins mk1

    Oh and the pics of Mindy's interior.......got the wood kit for the dash tombstone and centre console. Did a machine polish on her (clayed first) so she's looking shiney. Still badly want to respray her though!
  14. Dave
    lol that's what Gayle said!!!! Must just be me that's paranoid! lol
  15. Dave
    And Mindy sailed through her test! Mot guy said shes a good one. Only one advisory which was a small oil leak which i knew about but have yet to trace. Well happy with that!!! DD also passed her mot now, so both will be seeing some miles soon! Very happy bunny!
  16. Dave
    Thanks mate! Well happy with them both. Mot time tomorrow!!! Mindy is to go in first, then DD in for her retest.
  17. Dave
    Good to see you the other day mate, been a long time! Lol mb6 is looking good, and goes like s*** off the preverbial shovel! Damn now I miss Ruby again! She's deffo a totally different car to what you had before mate, love where you're going with her.
  18. Dave
    Thanks Simon, yes she's coming together nicely. Should have had this done ages ago but with one thing and another she's been lying there in the garage for a year with nothing getting done. looking forward to driving her again!

    So, just a wee job done today! In the boot on the left side there is a metal panel that protects the fuel filler pipe. This is an unpainted panel, and as such has no paint to protect it so they rust. It's covered by carpet so nobody really bothers about it but you know me, it was bugging me where you could see it through the carpet. Off it came to get prepped. Sanded it done and treated any rusty bits. Sanded down rust treated and then 3 coats of primer Then 3 coats of red and refitted to the car. This was before I put the carpet back in place. Just think it looks neater. Oh, and a wee photo of Mindy and my Aerodeck (DD) MOT is now out so she will be getting booked in for this Wednesday.....fingers crossed!
  20. Dave
    And the pictures of work done! New caliper fitted along with new brake pads (drivers side) suspension parts buffed with wire brush, rust treated and sprayed satin black Floor at front grinded with wire brush, rust treated then whole floor undersealed from front wheel arch to end of sills at rear. Still got rear end to do once I get a set of adjustable ramps. Oh and a wee shot of DD and Mindy together.
  21. Dave
    That's decent stuff mate. Will get some ordered.
  22. Dave
    That sounds more like a bad earth Jake or possibly the wee switch on the handbrake is iffy. Check its wiring too.
  23. Dave
    Looks like that's becoming the bit to watch on our Civic M's. DD is the same mate, other than that bit (now all fixed) no rust anywhere. I still want to get the sideskirts off though at some point to have a check at the sills, although from what i can see they look decent.
  24. Dave
    So she's back off the axle stands and ready for the retest mot. Brakes done, and also adjusted the handbrake as he'd said it was on the limits (but a pass). Suspension parts on the front (wishbones, drop links, subframe etc all treated with rust converter then sprayed satin black. Also, as she's going to be on the road daily now, I treated the alloys with alloy wheel sealer then went over them with a mild silicon spray and buffed it up. Should help protect the wheels from the rain/dirt/brake dust. She's looking good! Roll on Wednesday!
  25. Dave
    Nice one Jake! Yes, got a compressor but just a normal spray gun. Will nip in to machine mart and buy the lance gun for undersealing. Have only done that bit on both sides then the floor from front arches to end of sills at the rear, but would deffo like to be able to spray up into all the wee bits you cant get to with a brush. Do you need to thin the underseal for spraying or is there a particular one for use on the spray gun? Know the parts place i got the underseal from also hand it in aerosol, but thought the cans wont go very far.
