damn!!!! great find on the window visors!!! well played *golf clap...
your parts should be arriving any day?
We'll see man, could be they keep them at customs and make me pay import-taxes... Will take a week or 2 more then.
I'm cant wait to see how it looks man, will be cool to be able to switch between EDM and USDM style.
I was kinda annoyed with the quality of the Visors pic so today on one of the last cruises of the year 2k13 I tried to get something more out of my phone camera, must say it turned out pretty good for a amateur like me.
I was pretty amazed: Pics shot with an Samsung Note 2, little adjustments in GIMP.
So Bill hooked me up with some USDM parts, and another dude hooked me up with some rear mudflaps...
Some pics of the USDM stuff, don't mind the taillights, we never checked the bulbs and we noticed the bulbs were switched on our way to the LifeStyle foodstrip G2G :')
Thanks man! The remaining stuff is coming your way soon! Maybe if you know anyone who still wants some parts from Europe they can contact you and Ill box up some more?
Thanks all, I like the rolling shots too!
I'm still thinking about what to do with the corners and blinkers, I think I like them EDM better, but the US tails are so cool and I dont know if I want to make it Hybrid US/Euro spec.
No Shuttles located, I got a few people around the Netherlands/on the border with Germany keeping an eye out for Shuttles/other oldschool Honda's.
I just wanted to share this; because is such a cool item to have;
Momo F1 Benetton Steering wheel with the matching Shiftknob
Not sure i'm going to try it in the Shuttle, but I'm making a special place on my living room wall for epic carstuff like this, the good part of being single.

It matches a Harlequin pretty good but it's actually designed after the 80's/early 90's Benetton Renault F1 team.
Long before the first Harlequin Golf/Polo was built.
I think it's an awesome wheel, I've been wanting one since the first time I seen it, and now I even found one with the matching shiftknob in a fair condition.
I'm hoping to add more more of this awesome/rare 80's/90's automotive stuff to my collection.
I'll keep an eye out for another one
Most people think they're hideous and think they are not worth anything so once in a while there is one for a cheap pickup.
Don't ask me how I did it, but I found another rare Honda Access part.
Rubber mats in pretty good condition, came out of a 50k miles car.
A guy I met a few times at meets took them out when reselling his car and asked me if I liked them
Small update on the car too; started stripping the front of the car to pull the engine out for a bay-respray and OBD1 swap (And who knows what more I'll change on the way since the bodywork got all out of hand too)
Idea for now is;
Stock looks and like new, no wiretucks or cleaning. Just OEM+
Going to flow the intake runners a bit, probably B-series throttlebody
bigger exhaustmanifold (D16 with an original heatshield)
All mounting brackets for pumps/reservoirs/battery will be powder coated.
Engine will be sprayed, valvecover in wrinkle black.
Catalyc converter is going to be replaced with a straight pipe.
Car needs a new "CV Boot?" and its best to replace the clutch too, so I might install a lighter flywheel too.
Nothing spectacular, just a few small upgrades.
Was planning on going B-series VTEC first, but power is not my priority since I'm a cruiser, not a racer.
How much is powdercoating running up there? I own all the equipment, will be upgrading to a much much nicer unit soon. The powdercoating down here in Germany is ridiculous, kind of why I decided to purchase all the equipment and do it myself.

I have a contact with a powdercoater, 4 wheels cost about €150 and a box full of small stuff is about €50 not too bad if you ask me.
Always good to have those contacts. What your quote is for 4 wheels is the same quote I got here in Germany for one valve cover. Kind of why I went ahead and dumped quite a bit of cash on my own equipment.

Please?
If your girl next door looks good I might consider a trade!

Looks like it should belong in a Harlequin Golf.

Might be a good business for you to do that for Germany to get your investment back.
