Pirates black Accord Type R
Discussion
Hello again... 
Recently sold the 206 GT after getting bored and realising that it just isn't worth pumping thousands into a car to get it how you want it when there's something better out there.
Which lead me to purchasing this Pirates Black ATR. I used to work for Honda and always loved them but until recently they've been out of my price range. Admittedly I've come in at the bottom of the ATR scale but it's honest and although needs a little bit of TLC is in pretty good condition overall.
The most important thing to me was that it was sound mechanically. Fortunately this one is.
I spent almost all of the weekend stripping what little polish/wax was on the car off. Clay barring the whole car and panel by panel machine polishing it to try and remove as much of the swirling as possible. It worked but I've got to go over it again to get the stubborn ones out.
Here's a few pics.

Lovely Car you've got your self there. I had on of these two years ago and loved every moment in it.
To this day i dont know why i sold it. I'm always looking on Pistonheads to see if it goes back up for sale. Although using the DVLA car datacheck its showing vehicle status as unlicensed since 09/11/07, so i'm wondering if the cars been taken off the road or some thing.......

There's some close ups in this lot too - http://ajl959.com/carwash/ ... he owned a car wash, so it was usually very clean.
Took these off my phone, they are back when he first got it:
And some more I had, don't have any really good quality ones or ones of it on it's own:
