I figured I would join up here and share some of my recent work. This car is my daily, I am in between projects right now, so I figured I would mess around with this a little bit until I get another show car started. Here is what I have done in the past. I spent over 5 years on the Passat, so take a look if you would like: http://www.passatworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138696
So, now why I am here, I picked up a 2001 Honda Accord LX with 29,000 on it, yes twenty nine thousand miles on an 01. I got it from the grandma for my favorite price of free since she is getting to old to drive. I cant leave anything stock, so here is what I did to it in about 3 weeks:
- Painted the steelies wheels blurple
- Wrapped the headliner, a, b, c pillars, rear deck, armrest, and door panels in blue suede
- 6k HIDs
- Alpine CDA-9827
- 2 Sets of Polk MMC650 (front doors and rear deck)
- Polk/Momo 400.4 (for speakers)
- 2 12'' Memphis M3 in prefab ported box
- Polk/Momo 500.1 (for subs)
- SecondSkin Damplifier for deadening
- Memphis for wiring
More randomness to come, like I said its my daily. Most of the mods were purely out of entertainment/boredom.
Some pictures of my work/build/whatever (it was written by my buddy so its all in 1st person by him, referring to me by name...too lazy to change it all):
We started with the maintenance items.
Seafoamed the car
Oil changed
Spark plugs
Jordan wanted to paint his steelies. We did this project for under $20
Sanding down
Washed off
Primer
Krylon Anodized Blue Metal Paint lol
Done
lol we even painted the exhaust manifold heat shield
Time to hit up the audio portion of our build
Mocked up
Cleaned out the trunk
Measure
Cut
Floor panel done
Shimmed to level the box
Removed the subs to build the wall
Mocked up the amps
Covering the wall panels
Done
Installing the amp kit
Installing the dash kit
Wired up the harness and the speaker wires for the coaxels
Done
More wires
