Pricey has been continuing his repair work on the white 1998 Honda Integra Type R.
The original floor edge was very thin, so he welded a new one in. He also welded in a new section on the nearside rear wheel housing. The quarter panel was corroded so Pricey fabricated a new one and welded it in and made it fit to the wheel housing. The nearside outer wheel arch lip needed work as well so he cut out and welded a new one.
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.
Fast and Furious’ iconic Toyota Supra recently sold at auction for a staggering $550k. The car, which was one of two that the late Paul Walker drove in production, is speculated to be one of the most expensive Fast and Furious cars ever sold.
The car was built by Eddie Paul at The Shark Shop in El Segundo, California which was then overhauled into ‘Slap Jack’s’ Supra that featured in the ‘2 Fast 2 Furious’ movie.
