UPDATES ALERT!

Sorry for being away, I've been taking pictures, making videos and supervising the build daily but I didn't get time to upload anything, just got free today so here's the work progress so far.
They applied deco on the trunk lid and also worked on sanding down the license plate frame holder, took off all the rust and replaced the pieces where needed.

This was the initial coat of filler over the side panel's welds after they bladed it down to align it with the car's body.

Boys working on disconnecting the engine wiring to pull out the motor.

The dirty engine bay, yukh!

[abdulmunimqadri]

The worst part of any project car would be to finalize the color and I was doing exactly the same!

[abdulmunimqadri]

Got the tail lamps cleaned up, they look way better now.

Any body kit/lip extensions coming soon or going for stock look with rims?

[abdulmunimqadri]

@omaruser156370259465 I've ordered a body kit from the US but not expecting them to arrive anytime soon as my friend will be bringing it along, his flight is delayed until Sept so till then, I'm sticking to the stock look. I'll definitely change the wheels though, will throw in a nice set of rims because these SUCK! However, I'm getting these repainted for as far as they'll be on the car.

InShaAllah it'll be the nicest Accord CA5. Remember these alot and love em as my Grandfather had it in metallic grey back in the 90's. Really love these sedans out of the 80's.

Insha'Allah, I am working really hard towards making it stand out, let's see what it turns out to be like, I'll be posting more pictures in a bit, the car's got it's first base coat but since the color is a surprise, I'll have to edit the pictures a bit to keep the excitement going for you all

[abdulmunimqadri]

So here it goes, a picture of the first base coat.

[abdulmunimqadri]

Any guesses on the color?

They put the bumpers and fenders on the car today for the adjustments but I was busy and couldn’t show up with the lights, therefore, they’ll do it tomorrow now once I handover the headlights

Bought this brand new indicator for the right side, the asking price of the kabli indicator was 3-4k (varies as per the condition as well as the shop keeper's demand) but this one from TYC is for 1400 (after discount) and the quality is fine, I know they do fade with the passage of time but I'm going to get the car ceramic coated so I'm expecting that the coating will protect the lamps as well.

Clicked the picture with my DSLR so that y'all can get a clear picture of the piece.
