I've liked cars since I can remember. My whole life kind of revolves around cars. I grew up around a lot of American cars. My dad owned a 1967 Dodge Charger when I grew up, I always loved to ride in it. I used to play Gran Turismo and learn about all the different cars and statistics when I was younger.
Then when I was 15 I started looking for a car of my own, but instead of buying a Ford or any other American car, I bought a 1998 Acura Integra GS.

I really liked that car, but I ended up selling it about a year ago and kind of regret it. Then, I bought a really crappy 1993 Eagle Talon DS as a project car, which I spent the whole summer fixing up. I had to take out the sunroof, grind off about 2 inches of old cracked up bondo, and fix it's warped wavy roof by using a dent puller and bondoing and sanding the whole roof until it was perfect. I also had to weld up the frame since it had been in an accident and the previous owners decided to fix that with a sawzall too. I painted a Cuda green/ black 2 -tone paint job on it after I repaired everything.

After the couple hundred hours of perfecting my Eagle Talon, I promised never to sell it. What did I do a couple weeks later, I sold it and bought my current 1995 Honda Del Sol Si. Those hundreds of hours spent on my Talon paid off though when I started fixing up my Del Sol, because now you can't even tell where any of my previous rust holes were.
I've put a lot of hard work into my cars, and I don't quit until it's done right. I love my Del Sol, and don't plan on selling it any time soon. I plan on going to college for Automotive Engineering.

I got my Honda Del Sol in October 2008, and I repaired several rust holes in it, and painted it in December 2008. I painted the door jambs in March 2009. I wet sanded and buffed the clear coat. I'm working on my interior now.

My Progress
This is when I first got it in Fall 2008.


I welded in all the areas that were rusted out first, this pic only shows one of them.


I filled in all the areas with fiberglass and bondo. This pic is of where I shaved the rear trunk key hole.


I painted the top half of the car gloss black first.


Then, I taped off the top half and painted the bottom half metallic orange.


I clear coated the whole thing and took the tape off, and this is what it looked like right after I finished.


On the right is after I wet sanded the clear coat, and on the left is after I buffed and polished the clear coat.


I painted the interior pieces, mostly the vents and covers.


I installed new crystal titanium headlights and fog lights.


Check back in later, I will try keeping you updated on my progress.
