 Restoration Project

The Second Generation Honda restoration was performed by Colin Kennedy.

Colin's 1981 Honda Civic Restoration

Before picture on the far left and rear view of nasty rust on the plate area.

The work begins

Fenders removed for inspection and any possible repairs. Left picture of right rear quarter.

The Windshield

Rust in drivers corner of windshield and some minor holes in the rocker panels.

Rocker Rust

These black and white photos show the extent of the damage of road salt in the rear rocker. A line has been drawn where the replacement panel is going in.

Painted Dash

What's this primer on the dash. Door removed for easy access to hinge areas and rockers. Makes it a lot easier getting in and out, Plus door repairs can be better taken care of on a bench top rather than standing on your head.

Making Progress

This is a very good sign of progress or at leas it makes you feel better getting some paint on the finished areas. 

Napa sells colour match in large aerosol cans for easy and professional looking finish.

Painted

Finished

How sweet it is finally finished and a very good looker too.
