I really appreciate the dedication and effort you have put into the car. But IMHO it just doesn't look like an original DC2 Typer. It's missing that 'Juno se qua'. Frankly it looks like any old DC2 PO

Maaan, those seats look awesome! Love the read stitch on black, good choice. And the job looks like it's very neatly done. I'll make sure to contact you if some day I'm in need of a job like this. :)

Good luck with the project mate. Keep 'em coming!

Amazing, looks just like DB8 type-r seats :) </p></blockquote>

And I sat with them and marked out the stitch pattern identical to the ITR rears. Found the closest matching fabric as well

so, since half the interior is out, i decided what the hey and went ahead with the color change. no point in putting it all back and taking it out again, noh?

also brought the floor carpet with me and the seatbelts to be coated black.

indika doesn't mince his words when he said "i'll make sure you can't even tell this was ever any shade other than white". wow. pretty thorough. yesterday his tinker dude was sitting there marking the lines of the car. he sees the dents that i never knew were there.

plus, i think they suspect i'm a little psycho. none of the other car owners come, sit, pat their cars and talk to it calling it "baby" and "honey" with false promises like "it wont hurt" "i miss you" "we'll be together soon" etc.

the looks i get, i tell you...

You're not the only one on this machang, when my car was at the painter, I visited the garage everyday as if I'm going to hospitial to visit a patient and I used to go around the car to look for any imperfections. I had them repaint the bonnet, the bumpers and the rear left door again because I didn't think it was perfect.

The guy who re-assembled the car had a little chat with me during the last couple of days and told me that the mechs and the painters used to say "Onna adath enawa, ada mokak paththu karai da danne na..." when I walk into the place. :D.

No one else will care for your car baby more than you do. So keep doing what you're doing. :)

gave it to a guy i know last time. he painted the whole car for 53,000. but work was not what i expected. he didn't put half the effort that indika is shovelling into it. indika, is my garage guy in kolonnawa. pm me and i'll send you his contact details. he has just installed a paint booth also. think my car will be the first in it.

what i like about indika is his attention to detail. he has good work ethic and doesnt' grumble when i say do this and do that.

I'd be interested in Indika's contact details too.

so this is what was done 48 hours later. damn the weather gods! i'm impressed with what has happened so far! considering how that's around 24 hours of labour. looks like the first coat will go on soon...

Wow so many expensive stuff going on to a common Honda ne...are you sure you can make a profit when you sell it?

I dont think he is looking to sell it. Not everyone builds a car to sell it for a profit!

Yes yes! Then I'll tell some Prius guy that I get 100kmpl and it can breathe life into dead trees.

And hang a tree shaped deodorant!

No seriously, you have no idea how much weight the phrase "doctor owned, mint condition, used as a second car" carries in this country :D
