We bought this car well over a year ago for €300 from a small garage outside cork city, Fell in love with it straight away. Was owned by a old women who drove it very rarely and after she died it was left in her nephews house, the guy we bought it from was doing my work for the nephew and as payment took the car.. The car wasnt drove since 2001 and started first time.All orginal details even the honda owners card was included. The sedan had 80,000miles on her since new.
As we both had our own cars and busy jobs we hadnt much time to do anything with the sedan which we named nuala.So nuala sat parked up for months and months and still started everytime , we even use the battery to start other cars.As the paint on nuala is red, it had faded over the years to a whiter shade of red.
So the wheels are on and are looking well..Now to tackle the paint. This was tackled with Tcut and NoWet cleaning system brought the paint up well.
I think the paint came out very well considered how faded it looked before that, alot of elbow grease went into getting the paint back to its former glory.
Now for the lowering and cambered.. 40mm springs went into the front and back but Front springs were too stiff so the car didnt drop a lot, a set of coilovers was gotten Also had to get new front camber arms as the ones that came were wrong so Ive a set of Skunk2 arms on the way now!
How the car stood after those small touches.
After this a gold rocker cover was gotten to replace the old one.
The Fk coilovers arrived and were put on with a few hours left to one of the biggest shows in Ireland,custom and performance sleek fx. (Sleek fx pictures to come). So here is how she stands slammed on her arse.

After this it was time for Nuala to go to a new owner.. who has promised to look after her ..The last picture taken...
