The S2000

i have a pretty bad camera but here's the start i washed the car then did a clay rub down had little rust spots everywhere door jams trunk everywhere now its one

this is bassically where the car starts off from i always keep my engine bay looking imacculant and i havent given the car a good cleaning in about 3 months so i think its about time

Sorry for the bad pictures my camera's pretty outdated

Mike, Honda paint is always a pleasure to work with. It corrects very easily. I am sure he car will look GREAT when you are done. That red interior is awesome.

Really nice work (and great pic's)! Did you feel that the clay pick up much in the door jams and the undersides of the hood and trunk?

Yeah actually my car had a ton of rail dust starting to rust in the door jams around the hinges in the trunk everywhere the claying really cleaned it all up it was deffinatly a difference in the apperance i really should have taken more before pictures of those problem area's but the only ones i managed to take were of the trunk and rear emblem my camera's pretty low tech but i just got a decent sony ill be taking pictures with from now on

And about the drivers fender light lol... i took it off to better polish the paint completely and right after i took it off i steped on it... i ordered another one and i actually removed the driver side amber diffuser to get the chrome headlight apperance it took me close to 7 hours to figure it out ill be working on finishing it within the next few weeks its just labor intensive and a very gentle process putting a $800 headlight in the oven... to take it apart then back in to put it back together this is how it looks now with the replaced driver side marker light =)
