The reason I didn't get any rust repairs done this weekend is because I was busy installing the cornering lights. Here's a couple pictures I took in the process.

Running the harness for the fuse box.



Cutting holes, no turning back now.



Finished product.

Just ordered JDM power folding mirrors, now I'm on the lookout for the Switch and relay. Relay is an easy $25 eBay find, but the switch will be a bugger to locate.

The front end looks fantastic now! I've always like the Vigor's though.

Thank you Rilas! I'm still trying to get used to the new look, but overall I'm happy. I'm hoping to have the rust work complete by Sunday, but who knows with my attention span.

I found a super rare OEM Accessory for my Vigor. Overpaid out of desperation for it's endless uses and utilitarian design. That's right, it's a single cupholder. Since Honda decided that the Vigor should come from the factory with exactly ZERO cupholders.

I also got my JDM Mirrors in the mail last week. This will be a challenge to get them to work and look as OEM as possible, but I am going to do my absolute best and take my time.

AND I found my old CB9 Wagon in town today so I took a few pictures of how absolutely terrible it is now. (Pics of when I owned it on first page of this thread).

This is SAD.....












These pictures are just hard to look at.

One reason why I'd chop up and part my car out before it landed in anyone else's hands.

Actually I've done that to my last two Hondas.

I took as much as I could off this car when I sold it. Aside from the H22, the custom bodywork, and the paint...This is basically as stripped as it could possibly be and still hold any value for a sale. I think I even took out my Alpine and sold the car with a sony xplod. haha

I haven't given up on this car, I just don't have any updates. I know I've been quiet on here lately. I am in the middle of packing up and moving so the car hasn't had priority in a few weeks. Hopefully soon I can get some more done and I can update this page.
Thanks for being patient!

Where are you moving ?

[Vermonter]

13 miles down the road from where I am now. It's a temporary move until I can settle on a house.

Here's a couple glam shots to keep the thread active lol

I have finally found a few (very few) free moments to dig back into my Vigor, so some minor progress pictures will be uploaded within the next few days or weeks.
I spent the couple free minutes I had today removing the rear "Acura" badge and filling the holes with fiberglass. I know... Welding the holes would've been the right way to do it. But let's be real, I live in a state where I couldn't possibly keep up with the rust issues I'm facing with this car and doing any body work on this car, half-assed or pro, will be overtaken by rust in a matter of months, so I figure since I can't weld then this will be more than good enough for what I want to do. My ultimate goal would be to find a solid, rust-free Vigor sometime in the future that I can throw my JDM parts on. For now, this rusty Vigor will do.
