914World.com _ 914World Garage _ The car is finely comming togeather
Posted by: PanelBilly May 26 2009, 05:05 PM
After spending most of the holiday weekend putting the Prelude back togeather I came to the point where I couldn't assemble anything else because I needed new rubber for the glass. 
Since the Honda parts shop wasn't open on Monday, I had no choice but to start on the 914. I didn't get very far, but one headlight is in (well almost). Its a step in the right direction. I should be planning my first drive soon.

Planning your first drive?? You're not actually going to drive the car out in the open are you? 
Outside where it might get chipped and/or scratched??

Holy crap what a pain those little rubber bushings are. It took me the better part of 2 hours to get my eyebrows in. Jeez. I've still got the blisters.
Looks nice, Billy. But maybe you should put some color over that primer before you assemble it though?

Go for the parking garage at SeaTac. Those spiral ramps would be way cool at WOT!
