the front lights have 3 bolts on them mate. you can reach all, just about, with the bumper on. just have a fiddle as they may not have been tightened after the repair.

you need to underseal the car asap. ill be speaking to max myself about treating (iv got a bit less but still there) and then ill be putting it on a ramp and getting a large pot of WAXOIL brushed on to EVERY part available. take the bumpers and skirts off as well. squirt it into the chassis bars.

my stepdad sanded off a bit of an old wing where he has his yard 15-20 yrs ago and brushed one coat over it. its still shiny!!!!!!!

Eeek, nooo, waxoyl is cack. It's not the same stuff it used to be and it doesn't flex anyway, so it's alright on stationary objects, not a flexing car.

fair as his recommendation came from the 80's lol...

its a battle with the salt we get on the roads. waters bad enough then they throw sodium into the iron eating mix!!

Better than that is the molasses they throw in so it sticks to everything, particularly the underside of the car

The car body does flex slightly then driving over bumps Only slightly though. As far as I know the strut braces (among other things) help elimenate some of it.

any car goes through positive, negative and lateral G at any time. this must have a flexing affect on the body, chassis and carriage.

if the rust proof is HARD coat then its gonna crack over time and let moisture in. what we need is something that will creep in to the metal and sit within the cracks absorbing the flexing of the chassis and sealing against wet.

im gonna have a good look at the bilt products after max's info. they look to have the nads necessary.

in Blackpool to have the speedo conversion/delimit done. I'm starting to get sick of using my SatNav to guesstimate my speed (Maths was never my strongest subject )

Whilst it's in there, I'm getting them to tune the engine Suppose I'd better book it in at a garage to change the timing belts pretty sharpish now

Next on the list some Tein SSs and still got to do the rustproofing

Just had a set of Goodyear Eagle F1s fitted in preparation for the conversion I figured the originals were a tad old and were restricted to the Jap limits, not that I condone speeding outside of a private driveway!

Luckily these were bought and paid for before my Civic's manifold cracked , but, this has now put a dent in suspension plans

What engine tunage was done?

I make the odd trip to Blackpool and I have a type S so I will be very interested in the results and price.
