Resurecting the Integra
Posted 03-26-2008 at 04:11 PM by drbelanger73
So...
As some of you may have inferred from previous posts I have aquired this beat down Integra to rebuild and transform into my new ride. Now that I can work in my garage and feel my feet at the same time more progress has been made.
When I say rebuild i really mean it. I've started at one end of the car and have begun to move my way forward. I've torn off the crappy aftermarket fenders, the bumper covers, the lights, torn out and chucked the rugs and have begun to grind and pound this thing back into fighting trim. My neighbors must certainly hate me as they all are quite familiar with the sound of the grinder and chug of my compressor by now.
I've decided to document the process here in the blogs for posterity and my own personal amusement. I have learned quite a bit about body work along the way and perhaps someone might find it useful. Eventually I might even get into the engine...
Hopefully it won't be overkill. Things you might omit feeling that it is obvious or rote could be exactly what some poor noob is looking to learn. My hope is that folks with no or little experiance like myself can see how I did things along the way. I've asked a lot of the site and it is time to give something back if i can.
Next post, when i get off duty, will be my baseline; where it all began. I'll put up some photos of what i started with and try and document up to where i am now. Maybe someday
I might even get to drive it...
