I'm kinda new here so if this thread isn't suppose to be here, please mod/admin move it to the correct space. Thanks.
Let me start off that, my primary vehicle is a Toyota 4Runner but with a small agreement with my little sister, i also drive a 99 Honda Accord. My older sister handed down this vehicle about few weeks ago and let me say that, it's not in the right place right now. So this will be a worklog i'll be doing for this Accord. Basically, just some minor repairs, appearance designs, but mostly detail photograph. So here i am joining the 6th Gen Accord group!
This is the car when i first got it. The hood has a minor bent upwards plus a tow hitch crack on the bumper due to hitting this SUV.
Here's a close-up of the tow hitch crack my older sister did.
And here is the hood not closing all the way. Which will be fixed.
Here is the dent where my older sister hit the SUV rear bumper. Yes, that is rust on it. Don't know if i should paint it myself or bring it to the shop.
The tail-lights was bought like this. Not sure why the red doesn't match so don't ask me. I plan to paint it red with Red stained glass spray from Michael's soon so i'll keep this updated.
This is just a side angle of the car. I was photochopping to see how low i would like it to be. Also, you could see my black 4runner in the background.
Here's the junk my older sister left.
And another. I digg that shift knob though. Plan to get a shift boot to make it look 'manual transmission'.
So the project begins here. I took the bumper off so i could fiberglass the crack piece. I used Bondo-Glass which is both bondo AND fiberglass together to fix the crack. I'll post some pictures when i sand them. You can also see the hood is now back to normal. The hood was very easy to bend back so i don't need to buy any new hood anymore.
While it was still drying, i had some help from my friend to paint my headlights. Overall, i didn't really like it that much. It's basically white housing and that's about it. I know it's not "jdm" look so i might change it to something else when i get some extra money.
With the lights on. I actually like how the corner lights reflector the white paint. Looks really nice but don't know if i should keep the headlights w/ white housing or not. But that's it for now with my repairs
And here is some teasers of what i bought from some fellow 6thgenaccord.com members! Thanks for the great deal guys!
Tell me what you think overall. Good and bad comments are welcome but try to be easy on this noob.
i'll try to take some day-time pictures tomorrow. because i'm almost running out of time to go to work. plus, i was sanding the bondo-fiberglass the whole morning. unfortunately, it wasn't evenly flat so i had to add some more bondo. hopefully i could sand it and be finished by tonight. not sure how i'm going to paint it but most likely, i might have to paint the whole front bumper due to abusive scratches and rocks that peeled the paint. -_-
