You know I was thinking the same ! No rust what so ever on my ej8 ,My car is odd! it would seem as if someone has driven it backwards into the sea at some point but only dipping the back end in - every bolt on the rear is rusty as f*ck! whilst the front seems good - always said Im sooo happy my car was built in the US purely for the better quality steel - but I reckon Honda must have sent a boat load of shitty bolt over for the original build.... lots of this was needed to release all the bolts that had cold welded to the inside of the bush!
Just read through the whole thing. So much goodness.
Amazing choice on colour, would never have thought it.
Amount of time gone into this build so far is unreal. Loving the attention to detail
Your idea of a "budget build" is very different to my idea of budget build though haha. Looking forward to more updates.
thanks man.. I totally agree on the 'budget' in the title.. Although it was very much on a tight budget when I started the thread >3 years ago. I do so still refurb rather than replace whenever I can, only buy things when the oppurtunities right, and the delays in the build are often due to waiting until I can afford parts. There is a budget, I've just realised things need to be done properly to meet my end vision
Think it's really hard to find a good bodyshop these days. But the car looks super clean so seems you have found the guy haha.
That's a man that takes pride in his work .
