The Timing belt broke 2 months ago.. Bent 6 valve (4EX 2IN). I sure as hell wasn't paying a machinist to have it fixed and selling the car wouldn't make me any money.. so i did the job myself. (Except for the machining part of course :D )

One day I decided I would learn how to use fiberglass and made myself a very useful cupholder.

Extreme rust fix.. It got to the point where water was leaking into my trunk so something had to be done.

I made the MT Shifter bezel and front turn signals for Danny's lude. You can see his ride here.. very awesomeness
Danny's ride
Check page 3 for the mounted shifter bezel.

Things that I installed/did:
-Pioneer cd/mp3/wma player
-62.5i Infinity Kappa 6.5" Front BLOWN
-692.5i Infinity Kappa 6x9" Rear speakers
-New Brakes
-New Radiator
-New axles and upper balljoints
-Complete Engine Makeover
-Custom Mounted CD Player
-Short ram intake
-88-89 Prelude Front Bumper Swap
-Custom cupholder
-Headliner recovered in black fabric
-Sunvisors recovered in vinyl
-Power Mirror Conversion
-Power Window Conversion
-Painted wheels gunmetal
-Repaired gas cap rust area
-Repaired rear window rust area (PITA!)
-'95 Accord lip kit.. half on :D
-LED Tailights
-LED Turn Signals
-Custom Door panel

Things I want to buy/do/fix:
-Custom front door speaker enclosure (drivers side)
-Thinking about redoing the headliner in black vinyl
-Fenders; Extreme Rust underneath passengers side, dings, rock chips, dent on passengers side, alignment. This one is a biggy.
-Hood; seems to have caved in..
-Doors; Some big rust spots here and there around window
-Roof; major rust at sunroof and front windshield area in upper corners
-Quarter panels; Major rust underneath rear bumper
-Trunk; rust at wing bolts, remove spoiler.
-Rear Bumper (small dents)
-Windows; Moldings need major TLC.. front windshield must come off for rust repair.
Lots of other places I probably missed.

June/11/2003 Installed some new disc brakes and caliper pads. Installed new radiator.

August/17/2003 Bought a new head unit (Premier deh-p550mp) The EQ kicks ass on it.

June/24/2004 Woohoo graduating next week! Polished other engine parts, got my fuel light to work but still need fuel/temp gauge.

July/12/2004 Graduated! Got my License! Also got in a little accident with some poles. Today the upper ball joint from my front right wheel popped out. Long story short i got it repaired, aligned and checked for very cheap the same day it broke.

October 18, 2004 I redid the whole interior headliner and trim in black fabric.

December 24, 2004 Decided to repair all the rust and dings on the lude this spring and get the whole car repainted this summer.. should be looking awesome after :D

February 24, 2005 Finally did an update on this site.. big update.

July 18, 2005 Another update.. jus to show that im not dead :D

September 13, 2005 There's still tons to be done. The deadline I set myself too before might have been over exaggerated. This time I'm not setting myself a deadline and I'm just gonna take my time to do it right. The fact is I have no one to teach me so I'm basically teaching myself for everything I do. Once I actually buy a welder (the other one I used was my friend's) I will definately be able to do more. (bought one now)

January 29, 2006 Updated the front page.

How did you make this tail lights and blinker/running lights LED? I've been trying to find some way to modify my tail lights, and since there are no aftermarket lights made for 88-91 ludes, i need to make something myself. any help would be nice.
