Bring that Beat back... 1991 Honda Beat

[SlowcoachIII]

Been enjoying this thread for a while.

Definitely the red Type R badges with the green. Great colour combo!

[Usget]

Another vote for red H badges, definitely not keen on the airbrushing.

LOVE THE COLOUR!

Colour is the dogs danglies! The red badges will go perfectly, I reckon. It’s going to look amazing OP!

Peter been test painting a few more panels, we had some reaction on the paint on the boot lid but the bumper came out well and is lacquered.






I am a bit obsessed with how small this car is, here next to a Mk2 MX5 and it looks 2 foot shorter overall !





Engine bits are coming back from the shop ready to be assembled soon





Peter now getting nice shape on the rear cover, hopefully not long before he can take a mould from it for the fibreglass cover

This is looking fantastic!!!

I think the green looks great, and I'm pleased you went for it!

What caused the paint reaction on the boot lid?

[Chris Type R]

There's also the option of a chrome Honda badge - as modelled by this green S2000 - https://www.s2ki.com/forums/official-official-foru...

A while back we were toying with air intake and air scoop options, so now weve decided on a 70's F1 style.

Never thought I'd ever say this but OMG!!

Are you going to use it as a boat.

Perhaps this could be restyled as a Mr Fusion?

I'm thinking a big huge F1 style wing is required to be stuck on the back!!

I wonder if this was an April Fools? Knowing how mad the transition is so far then I guess maybe not!

you say April fools but....

[Fermit and Sexy Sarah]

I actually quite like that!

[ferrisbueller]

Keep it in the family.



However, I think the date led to what appears to be the housing for an outboard.

[Rocket.]

If only we were quite that brave, but I fear with it fitted we will negate the need for the factory fitted 84 mph speed limiter

[Rocket.]

In our (well mine really) pursuit of lightness I asked Peter if we could remove all redundant parts from the car, this included the windscreen wiper/washer stalk.







Few gramms saved there, also love the simplicity of the motorcycle style dash.

Engine block is back




New oversized forged pistons too with old conrods now connected. We may get close to 700 cc with these bad boys



Checked the fuel pump and inside the tank is pretty good apparently



Peter been finishing off the hole he cut in the boot with an Ali sleeve to stop water ingress and tidy it up, still work in progress.
