It took awhile, but a little plastic surgery ain't such a bad thing afterall... \:D \(\.\)\(\.\)

Thanks again for the comments from those who've already seen pics. Wallet is a little lighter today but it's all worth it. Hope the rest enjoy. \:\)

98-0629 is born again


luckily the rust still ended up being outer metal surface only, still had ok metal to work with from within. so basically the rundown is:

-superb body work done by the recommended shop i got for proper metal/filler/prime/paint/clear with OEM NH-0 of course
-new front and rear re-bars under bumper installed/primed.
-pretty much every bushing on the car is energy suspension
-rims send out for refinishing got the same oem paint as well.
-new Dunlop spec ZIII tires in oem 15" size installed (have Mugen MF10 16" for it as well with 215 tires)
-headlights set out to be refinished
-new Acura oem centre caps and lugnuts installed to finish it off in the later photos.
-all original emblems reinstalled with new type-R stickers (25whp per).
-new wiper arms installed and a few window trims new, and pretty much all new screws/clips/nuts/bolts what-have-you all OEM for putting her back together again
-inner fenders also done in proper undercoat and under trunk area as well (will never been winter driven).
-tints redone
-oem window upper visor accessory still intact
-car is full VIN matching/clean history
-car still has all the best mugen goodies on it that actually DO something
-Titty will give her a better interior clean up soon as well as a nice layer of sealant in about 6 weeks time

Anyone with good DLSR and photoshoot skills that has some free time, wouldn't mind doing a quick weekend day time shoot? Hit me up, thanks!

Which shop did the work?

Did they replace the complete 1/4's with aftermarket panels or did they cut around the rust and replace the spots only?

Looks very nice!

markham auto body (cj fly referral) and he's done some past nice restos on minis and other cars. usually he's just doing regular (insurance) work that keeps them busy these days.

they cut and did new metal by hand. i checked into rear 1/4's and they do not make OEM or aftermarket rears for any 98-01 teg gen (surprising). i did find a set in Cali from JPN but as usual the price was exorbitant. he also said it'd be a waste if my inside metal was rotted (which is was not) to weld the seem to. also wasn't bad enough to need full new rears, so that's good.
