Bring that Beat back... 1991 Honda Beat

[Usget]

What about Volvo Flash Green? That would look suitably obnoxious!

[irocfan]

Green, green.... green

[Chris Type R]

Green.

[alex98uk]

Green

Honda Championship White? A la NSX Type R?

Could badge it as a Honda BeateR

[Jazzy Jag]

Honda did the early CRX VTI in Kermit the frog green.

Later ones were a darker green and not as cool.

I like this idea.

I like this idea.

except I don't really like white, so I think it will have to be green.

I had a Mazda 2 in really obnoxious green.

For me back to basics and a simple little car I'd want a less shouty colour. But then if you're gonna drive round in a one off roof chopped retro revival car you really need a flashing sign saying look at me right?

[Rocket.]

Yep shouty is good I think, spoiler still undecided, quick update on the Beat configurator

What a cool little thing this is.

Green no spoiler. Paint the spoiler though just in case

Looking forward to seeing s this rolling

I’m assuming the two white lines represent reflections, but personally I’d add them as they look in white!

[InitialDave]

How about the biomorphic green you could get on the MG ZR/S/T cars?

[Jonesy1972]

Looking great, OP! I like it without the spoiler and the test spray green looks fantastic. How long until you think it will be ready to enjoy some open road fun?

Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue!!!

I think blue.

You're doing some excellent work with the Beat and, IMHO, painting it that shade of green will reduce the car to a bit of an 'in-joke' rather than the seriously modded one you're building.

Cheers for all the positive comments, it's a fun little project and nice to hear peoples opinions on it.

With regards to when will it finished, we'd like to think middle of this year sometime it is hard to put a time frame on it really. The main body, bonnet and bumpers are getting closer to being ready to prep for paint. Peter still working hard on the buck/template for the rear cover which will then be made in fibreglass.

For the engine we have most of the bits needed now bar the crank and rod shell bearings, gasket set and some ancillary items. The engine shop will rebore and then we can rebuild it soon I hope.

Most of the suspension and brakes are done or almost ready to go back on and interior is basically sorted bar a good clean of carpets and plastics. The finishing details will take longer than expected no doubt (perspex screens, exhaust system etc.) but truth be told I am really enjoying the journey so in no major rush to finish but some summer fun with it would be great.
