Looking good! Definitely like the wheel choice! Looks like a fun ride/project, makes me miss driving my hatches. Looking forward to what your going to do with it, I'm also curious where you got the rear spoiler, is someone making them?

 

Thank you. Its coming together very slowly. The sedans are widely popular in Malaysia and Indonesia. One of the groups there repop'ed this one. I also have an 85 EDM Prelude Spoiler on the way.

**UPDATE**

The Prelude spoiler is to wide. Maybe I can make a plug of it and modify it to fit.

Today was interesting. I tried my hand at removing the damaged reverse lens on my taillight panel. Much harder than I expected. I will try something a little different when pulling the lens from a stock panel I have. Fingers cross I can get it out without breaking it.

Just learned that PhotoBucket has changed their policies and now wants to charge me $400 to provide you with these images. Not sure how this is going to work out. Hope to be back soon.

Yeah, a lot of photo sharing sites like that are doing that.  I use Imgur.  I avoid it like the plague otherwise, but it's one of the few remaining sites that allow photo storage with free public access.  Copying the links of the photos is easy too.  Good luck!

And we're willing to bet that the CRX won't be at the bottom of the short list--particularly if the CRX in question is an Si."

Due to this issue and not willing to pay their rates. I started a build tread on FaceBook. I hate to do this to RPR, but i'm not sure how else to continue to share without pics.

Post your pictures in your "garage" and make that your build thread or in your forum build thread post thumbnail pictures pulled from your garage and those with interest to see the enlarged version can go to your garage and view them there? Pictures in the "garage" are pulled straight from your computers' data storage without need for an intermediary hosting site.

I have been trying this. I will have to resize all of my photos to fit the sites requirements. I have resized a couple and saved them under a modification, but have not figured out how to link them to my thread.

Ok...go to your garage images and right click the one you want to post in a thread - select COPY IMAGE URL , go to the thread and select the IMAGE icon from the tool bar and then select PASTE ...you'll end up with just what I inserted above. Hope that helps and could possibly prevent another loss to the DARK SIDE ...I, too, am part of the social media resistance!  :D

Its only been a month, figured it was time to get some updates done. 

 

Since the 3G sedan was not very popular. There were not a whole lot of aftermarket parts produced from them. However, there were two European models produced with a large assortment of parts that were not used, one such part are window visors.

I have also sourced NOS power window regulators from a Rover 213/216 Vitesse. Waiting on a couple of more parts to complete the install.

Another part I'm quite happy with is the 3D printed JDM Si badge.

Another big change to the car was interior. Started with a well used 88/89 armrest and Access Audio Console.

 

Armrest was in need of major repairs.

After the armrest was complete. All three pieces, armrest, center, and audio console were color matched using SEMs 4 step process.

The most recent work I did was reworking the replica spoiler to make it fit better.

Hoping to get some color on it and mounted soon.
