that s600 is mostly ruined. its been transplanted into a datsun 120y engine and its knuckles been change to accomodate 4 lugnut rims, so its not original at all and its damn overpriced!

anyways, honda s800 vs ferrari enzo sound, hear it roar!

lol theres tons of better cars u can buy for that money

anyways, more headache to me, bubbles pop at certain parts of the paintwork, internal rust was to be blamed, now letting the welder to decide what to do with it

Poor car. Its sure having an identity crisis. Not sure why they would even modify the front fenders to look like an MG. However it’s still is an s600 so it’s worth saving but I agree w/kev the price is steep for a non original car.

Like that wheel a lot so when we getting some paint on her then? :wink:

car has lots of headache right now, the crankshaft is loose and needs rebuilding, perhaps jc racing could possibly rebuild it, fingers crossed! jc racing is like the hq of all honda cars, mostly eg, ek series, but i think this is the first time they are dealing with this. they are known for tuning cars and doing race car specs for sepang circuit races. ive paid rm500 (about 150 USDs) to them anyways. dashboard cracks is sent to a shop in the capital to be resurfaced to be as close as the original, i hope!

look at the mugen RR in the picture, its a future classic in the making!

also here's some update in the painting process, its about to be painted on wednesday, yay!

thanks nakazato, i think its far from finished, the crank bearings is gonna give me a headache. no shops might be able to fix it, might have to send the whole crankshaft to japan to be refurbished with garage iwasa!

thanks guys

anyways, painters getting the interior paint done and painted on top of the welded spots. taking out all the upholstery. i dropped by teluk intan yesterday and saw a toyota sera, future japanese nostalgic car for sure! hahaha. teluk intan is an ex british train/port known as a point for sending tin mining by ships back to the UK in the older days. nostalgic enough to see the leaning tower of teluk intan, which mimics pisa in italy and also has oriental architecture with british engineering! haha
