After:

New Radiator:installed by MY Honda Tech


Then the wheel covers before and after,I will post pics of them on the car ASAP!!



Updated 2 April 06

Ok so today was beautiful out here in the land of massatwoshits. So the last time I washed Elsie I noticed she really needed to have her paint cleaned and she needed a good polish and wax.

So today we went out and bought the Meguiar's 3 step kit. I have used this product many years ago with great results.

So here she is in all her shiny glory! These pics do not do her justice she looks really great compared to how she was.






Here are the New and improved JDM Coupe Council Decals!


Updated 30 April 06

So I washed up the Coupe Yesterday and I did a mini Photo shoot I was not happy with it so I went out again today. Its not great but I tried and around here, there is little or no spots at all for a decent shoot. Photobucket reduced the size does anyone know a photo hosting site that wont resize them?
Well here it is...

[JdmRevelations]

[red4]

[PandaCoupe]

Yes yes yes, come over to the Skunk2 world haha

Looking good!!

[2coupes]

[Mikey]

Those pictures make me miss my EJ1 :(

[Chrissy]

i'm the one that first called it minty! so clean

this is true, thanks 2coupes!!:) :)

[G-rat]

lookin good...are'nt u keepin that color..from what i can remember

[Volume 8]

car looks good, that knob is a nice addition, i want one.

[crazyxzer0]

nice coupe. I got a skunk2 knob too.

The biggest thing I hate about the Skunk2 Shift knob..

-when its cold, that knob is freaking cold.
-when its hot, that knob is freaking hot.

[Volume 8]

i know it sounds ghetto, but try putting a sock over it, helped me when i had a metal knob.

[JDMdxCoupe]

i like the skunk2 knob...i took off my oem knob and got one off a 2006 honda civic...lol it was free so im not complaining. clean coupe

[crazyxzer0]

i know it sounds ghetto, but try putting a sock over it, helped me when i had a metal knob.

I have a wristband on it when I park..lol

[Foos]

Nice car. The body on that looks great. It'll be a nice car to start from.
I have a similar shift knob but its from Acura and the gears are black and not red. I like mine, I'm sure you'll like yours too. I have to agree with crazyxzer0 on this one...



The biggest thing I hate about the Skunk2 Shift knob..

-when its cold, that knob is freaking cold.
-when its hot, that knob is freaking hot.

[skater4145]

i dont have the skunk2 knob but i have the type r replica in gunmetal, and its so true... that thing gets COLD! and it gets way hot too.
i'm gonna hit it rich when i sell spoon the patent for the "shift knob sock cover" lol

[EJ1 Freak]

nice coupe. I got a skunk2 knob too.

The biggest thing I hate about the Skunk2 Shift knob..

-when its cold, that knob is freaking cold.
-when its hot, that knob is freaking hot.
I was just going to say that...I've burned my hand many times in the summer...so be careful! lol

I love that you're able to start from scratch and build it up from there...definately keep us updated on your progress! :)

[Ej1drgn]

[>slammedEX<]

[CamoEj1]

The valve cover looks rilly good. It makes the engine bay look alot cleaner.:TU:
I really like this build, I got mad love for teal coupes!

[JdmRevelations]

looks good chrissy... shoulda rocked the primer green for a minute first...but good work

[boosteddx]

i dont get why more women dont paint cars....i mean ive seen some pretty amazing work women do with paint and stuff....plus women get practice alot with nails and stuff which is not fair for some of us men...notice i said "some" overall great work and there was very lil overspray considering its from a can. but i advise u use a carboard box and cover or tape up the seals where the spark plugs and valve cover gasket go. plus rocks and debri love to ruin motors.

[Dina]

any updates on this?

[Chrissy]

Elsie out site the new apartment

[Mr.MAN]

looks snazy those are my fav hub caps the smoky look is cool, what are the plans for it?

[Chrissy]

[Mr.MAN]
