Well my car got out from under the cover and some more work was done. The new wheels are on. The rear emblems affixed. The car was put outdoors in this horrible Northeaster storm to get a cleaning. I took a few pics. :)

They taped it off to do some additional spraying (touch up) along the front of the fender/skirt area. Fender emblems still need to be put on and I'm still trying to figure out if the 1stgen center caps will fit the new wheel. If not, I'm not sure what center cap will fit :)

Stopped by the bodyshop today. My car was parked outside. I haven't heard it start up since I dropped it off almost a year ago. Joyfully, it started right up. I was a bit disappointed as I looked at my tachometer and deluxe gauges and they all stood still. :( I popped open the fuse box and found two blown fuses; one for the gauges and one for the tail lights. What a relief to see the needles move. :D Looks like my tachometer may be running a little high. I can't wait to get my Civic back on the road. :)

My current tail lights are in really good shape. Do I throw these NOS tail lights on or keep them NOS in the box? :dunno
