    Cheers @dan1I quite like the look of the black steelies, but the alloy on the front is from a set of 16s that were on the wife's first accord she had, and I think that looks canny as well. Not sure yet.

    You can't really tell from the pics how grotty the interior is/was, but it's starting to come up nice. Used some leather cleaner on the seats yesterday and the filth that came off them was amazing. Still need another go and conditioning, but well impressed with how well they've come up. Not sure what to do about the bumper yet, as it's pretty bad with a big section missing... Tempted to go dial it back a bit with the bumper, but it does look cool on the import photos

    Yes, it's surprisingly lively when you give it since beans, but it lulls you into pottering about being eco 😁 The new wagon isn't really a wagon at all... It's a k20 (the slow one) It's an auto It's big It's got 8 seats It's from Japan..... It's a stepwagon! Needs some tlc, as its been getting used as a works van by the import company we got it off, and the crazy fibre glass bumper needs fixing from being smashed on an uneven road (probably with the air suspension too low), and the massive rear spoiler needs refitting (maybe...), but it generally needs a really good clean. The paint from the body kit also peeled off when they've took their stickers off.

    Well, the tourer is no more, a nice chap from Wales bought it, and it's either going to be saved to tow his race eg, or end up as an engine donor for it. Karen's got herself a nice blue R18 fk civic, but it's not any good for family adventures. So we've just got a new project...

    We get properly ripped off for parts. It always amazes me looking at honda parts from America compared to here.. The dollar price is normally less than the price on pounds, and then you've got the exchange rate to factor in... It's mad. I got some gearbox bits for a fraction of the UK price even with delivery and tax. For the fog lights, a while ago someone fitted these which are supposed to be a good match for the rare big fog lights. https://ebay.us/m/3mKXkv I've had them in my watched items list since, but haven't got them myself as I fitted some big ones from a honda stream.

    You've been a busy boy, love the use of the sink while the boss is out. 😁 those bits are looking good.

    Good stuff mate. It's coming along nice. Do you mind if I ask what you paid for the engine? Just wondering about ballpark figures for the wife's type s.

    Not sure if this is one of the threads you came across, but it indicates it would be okay I don't know if this is correct myself, but @Roverjoe might know?

    I thought I'd deleted the feet pic 😂 It's a class show for a freebie 😎 was well over 600 cars there

    Good work bud. Make sure you have a check under the plastic scuttle panel where the wipers are. That's a notorious spot for collecting old leaves and grot, and can be hidden rust back there. The clear repeaters really lift the look of the car I think.

    Welcome to the club mate. I know what you mean, you can't beat a good build thread 😎 Interesting project, will be good to see how it progresses. My wife has a 2.4 type s tourer which we had the ecu flashed on - it's a cracker of an engine on them. Sadly it's going to be going the distance soon as rust is starting to take hold... Do occasionally think about doing the swap on mine, but I'm too fond of the B18, and it's the main thing left from my original deck.
