GOT PREP?
Over the weekend there was a charity carshow so I figured why not? It was a lot of fun and all proceeds went to Feed The Need.



I worked on my car from mid-day friday until about midnight. When I woke up Saturday morning, I apllied the finishing touches.



Paint process was, wash, SSR1, #81, NXTx2, topped with TS in the A.M. The tires are dressed with poorboy's B&B. I used S&W throughout the show to maintain.



The engine was cleaned with an EZ detail brush and dressed with meguiars #40 cut 50/50.



Oddly enough the main thing that I was asked all day was "how is the engine that clean after 108,000+ miles?" I guess engine detailing must be a real enigma. :dunno



Anyway, I went into the show expecting nothing and ended up winning first in my class and best engine overall. I was pleased and had a great time!

Yep, lug nut sheered off a few weeks ago. I tried to fix it, but the entire axle must be removed to replace it. I am going to have pay someone to do it. :rolleyes:



LouisanaJeeper, the wheels are a bit different. They are not for everyone, but I like them.



Thanks to everyone for the kind words!
 
This isnt Matt is it? Theres the exact same car rolling around here, he did have the same GAB knockoffs as you on his EBP Civic

I went with the least agresive product to get the job done. I thought about the #80 though!!:D



317indy, Nope I am Joe from Memphis not Matt from Indy. ;)



I am not surprised that there is another car with the same wheels. When I got these a few months ago I knew that they would be played within a year. I like to change them out with my other two sets anyway.



Thanks to everyone for the compliments.

Someone on another board told me that they reminded him of McDonalds. :nixweiss :D



At least I don't wear socks with sandals. ;)
 
I still miss my EBP Si:(, that color is drop dead gorgeous after fresh wax:bounce . I myself dig the wheels especially how they have a lip



I just figure out how you won without a ricey car:p? Well done :wavey
 
Thanks guys! Prepping for a show is a lot of work. My hat goes off to those of you that show regularly, especially concours events.



Thanks again to everyone!
