More parts to prepare on Integra

Lydia is continuing to work through parts of our Honda Integra to get the panels stripped, cleaned, prepared and ready for paint.

Prep for the Honda Integra!

Lydia, can normally be found in the trim shop, has been helping out with getting the Honda Integra ready for a re-paint.

She’s been sanding down various panels, including the front grill, spoiler, wing mirror surrounds and fuel tank cover. Most of the panels only needed a light sanding with a DA and soft sanding by hand afterwards. Any imperfections that were found in any of the paint, such as trapped air bubbles and chips, Lydia sanded down to the original bare plastic and feathered out. The underneath of all the different panels were cleaned to remove any residues that could get into the new paint.

Cleaning and Preparing Honda Integra Parts

Lydia has taken a step away from the trim shop to join James C and James P in the preparation area. Parts for the Honda are now in the process of being cleaned and prepared. The door handle surrounds and wing mirrors are being prepared, ready for paint.

Integra Sanding And Fabricating

Pricey and Lydia have been working on our Honda Integra. Lydia has been sanding down various panels in preparation for paint whilst James has been taking apart the internal panels around the arch and fabricating new parts.

Honda gets shiny!

Pricey has been repairing one of the rear sides of the Honda Integra.

First of all, he welded a new inner arch, grinded it and then dressed it up. He then went on to fabricate the inner wheel arch. Next, was to clean surface corrosion off the outer wheel arch and treat it, panel beat out any damage, and prime with zinc.

The inner sills needed repairing as well, the sill closing and middle sill both had corrosion, and the lower sill panel had jack damage and corrosion. He welded and fabricated them all before going back in.

Honda Integra’s New Wheel Arch
