Once again guys time got away from me but I'm steadily uploading pictures. Car was fixed up a few months ago and basically sat around. I have some more time atm so I'm back on it this week, sorting out a new battery, reinstalling (i ripped it out) the head unit, soon to be washed and final pictures. Until then I'll post some more progress pictures.

Thanks mate =) I'm pretty happy with the finish job considering it was the first time i've attempted something like this. The only disappointing thing is, the quality of the whore car... the bonnet/front bar isn't in the best condition... had it been in better condition the repair would have looked perfect. Anyway beggars can't be chooses at least it's the same paint colour right

So after 2 years of sitting around it's nearly at that time to see if the work so far is worth it. Will she still purr...
That coolant may just come in handy
I also decided to give her an oil change before cranking it over.
Freshly oiled up =P
So the time came, i was all excited. Put the dodgy old battery back in that had been on trickle charge for a few days, hooked the Nav up to it with jumper leads (the battery really was that shit) turned the key and NOTHING....
Getting no power through with jumper leads connected was strange... there had to be some electrical problem, it must have happened in the crash. I checked out the old bonnet, the way it had been bent it must have touched the battery terminals you could even see were it arced. So where to start looking... hopefully it's just a fuse.
Thank you ozhonda
When you don't know your way that well around a honda it was quicker to search the fuse on the forum.
Getting warmer
Well that makes sense that the fuse would be here, but you just never know. I wouldn't be surprised if a forum member said "up under the steering collum, right where you can't reach, there is a little module, check that" LOL
The culprit
I thought "Shit where am i going to find a big mofo fuse like this on a Sunday" .... then i remembered the whore car was sitting right there for our spare part needs.
Now we have power! Cranked the engine over a few times to get the oil moving around before starting it up properly. When it came time to start after a few cranks nothing... it didn't sound like it was firing... it wouldn't start.
Back to the basics...
-Spark
-Fuel
Pulled a spark plug from the other car, plugged it and cranked the car... yep she definitely has spark. That leaves only fuel.
Now I'm not sure exactly what happened here, if anyone has an explination i'd love to hear it. We pulled the injector rail off and in the procsess fuel came pissing out. It was obviously pressurised so fuel was being pumped from the tank however didn't seem to be making it in. Flying bind we figure we would pull and injector and see if it was dry on the other side... yep it seemed a little dry... then again we didn't know exactly what it should look like.
We put it all back together knowing fuel is at least making it that far and next thing we knew it started up. It sounded perfect, you would have never thought the car had sat around for two years, the engine just purred =)
We now have a running car... most the mechanical stuff was done.. Back to cosmetic bits and pieces.
