So its been a long hard journey with the Honda so far but Im finally getting somewhere. As you can see from the previous posts there have been a lot of unfortunate circumstances.
I managed to painstakingly repair the wheel with lots of heat gunning and trips to the balancing machine. It SOMEHOW is now round (ish/ enough) and no cracks. Once again sorry to
@wurlycorner for messing you about with those wheels.
I have now started on the wheels and its having to be a bit of a bodge job because I have no money but access to facilties. (some of you will laugh
Here's how it started....
I didnt have space on the ramp so gave it a go on the car. Not ideal i know but its done the trick...... for now
Covered the important bits after cleaning with thinners and sanding

Finally got them all sorted and blacked out the trim as they had started to turn grey.
After that and still having paint left I decided to spray the wipers which were also faded. Typically just as
I finished it, the heavens opened. I tried improvising but they will need to be re done. Funny pic tho
So here is where I am now. Two new rear Tyres, New discs and pads also the hbrake cable. Next on the list is the arches because they look terrible but overall and from a distance it looks nice an more importantly its still on the road.
Ill be updating as and when, someday it will be a gem.
