Update

The update is I have no update.... Ive been busy around the house but will post pics of some rust repair soon.

Brake Parts

Here is my brake master cylinder when I took it out of the parts car and tore it down. I was able to remove everything except for the internal piston. After 20 years of sitting it was frozen in there pretty well.



I sent it off to Joe at Sierra Specialty Automotive and this is what I got back a few days ago. First its cleaned, from the looks of it bead blasted to a like new finish. Next, Joe hooks it up to a hydralic pump to remove the internal piston. The inside of the cylinder is then bored out to receive a brass sleave that is then pressed into it. The inside is then bored and polished to the correct diameter and the port holes are drilled.



Picture of the brass sleave.



The last picture is of the cylinder, the pistons that came out and need to be cleaned up and a rebuild kit I got from Miles.



Thanks for such great work Joe. As always thanks to Miles for the parts and your never ending help.

Body Work Begins

A new chapter has begun. I have started the body work on the 600. My goal is to get the bottom of the car in perfect shape before moving on to cosmetic body work. Today I started with the passengers front wheel well. The bottom rear corner was rusted through.

But first a couple of pics of the car on the spinner I made to work on it.


Floor pan with the majority of the undercoating removed for rust inspection.



Floor pan again.



This is the drivers wheel well and it looks like the passnegers wheel well did before I stared.



Here is the repaired wheel well. I need to finish welding but this gets it pretty much done.



I will be completing one side at a time, for now the passengers side floor pan then move on to the drivers side. Once I fix the majority of the rust holes, of which there a a few along the bottom, I will be replacing the rocker panels then moving onto the rear portion of the car which has mostly surface rust. Once all the floor pan issues are fixed I will media blast the entire pan and wheel wells inside and out and DP epoxy primer it.

My master brake cylinder and the rebuild kit for it are due this week, stay tuned for pictures.

Still at it

I have been working on the remainder of my parts taht need blasting and painting. I expect to receive my rebuilt master cylinder this week from Sierra. I also have the exhaust bolted up and need to make some new gaskets. I plan on running the engine before I intall it, when I do I will post a video of it.

In the mean time here are a few old photos I found.

Back

We got back form our family spring vacation yesterday. Obviously I have no Honda update but plan on working on it this week after work. The body is on the rotisserrie and will be moved into the garage next for body work. I will post some pics as soon as i get it in the garage.

Spring

This weekend was spring clean up so not much to report. I did get a chance to mount the body back on the rotissourie but thats about it. I misplaced my camera so I don't have any pictures yet. I am really looking looking forward to starting the body work.

The Reunion

So here it is. I finally mated the engine to the subframe after they had been apart for over 10 years. The engine is slowly being reassembled and has most of the accessories back on. It took a lot of effort to get to this point and I'm really excited to start on the bodywork soon.
