That looks fantastic.

How much did that charge you for that work?

None of the bolts/nuts were seized from the rust though?

Just stating from what they stated in the text message, £300 which includes replacing the inner arch.

They estimated the whole job will cost about £2500 at intial inspection, which included a horribly rusted drivers door. But I managed to find a £50 door from a breakers yard with no rust.

It's a ton of work to be done, but with the underbody coated like that, that should help to extend the life of the car.

I've had this car for 4 years, and to be honest, I'm still not bored of it, plus I get the added bonus of getting second glances since it's not a car seen on the roads here. I had a Civic EJ2 Automatic before, and it had no 'soul'. It felt more like a typical A to B car, and didn't feel very enthusiastic to drive. Same goes with a few Mercs I've driven.

The only other things I would do to this car before I stop spending money on it, are larger wheels and a different exhaust sound. Lowered suspension would be nice, but the speed humps here are pretty steep. Not entirely sure where to go with the exhaust tho, I thought of just getting a muffler, but I want to be sure I don't end up killing the performance or breaking the MOT passing regulations.

Are those pics of the final paint job as well?

At least they put some effort in to doing the undercoating right.

Nah, those pics were before they've done anything. You can probably see, there's a lot of patchy paint over the bonnet, and the rear bumper. When it's all done, it will have a full lip kit too.

First respray picture up of the drivers door. I never knew the original B89P was that dark :O
