Honda S600 goes to the welder

My mechanic has removed the engine plus the gearbox transmission from the car. Lots of damage needs to be fixed from my car! God, all the parts are quoted in Euro and there's no way I could skimp as no one in Malaysia could fabricate them. Gotta suffer in Maggi Noodles again! Oh well, on with the welder to have these body parts fixed

This video presentation by Jay Leno explains all about the car. Who's Jay Leno you ask? He's a talk show presented in NBC in the United States. He's a real car enthusiast and collects a great range of exotic and classic cars in his possesion. This video explains how he bought the car and re-restored an already restored car.

Honda S800 racing at VIR

Look at how small little sports cars shine. This guy was competing in the below 1300cc vintage car competition and see how is placed 3rd in front of 22 cars. Damn this, now I just can't wait to see my car finish so it can see a piece of track action!

Gran Turismo 4 Laguna Seca Honda S800 One chance

Look at how the RSC tuned Honda S800 (S600's younger brother) does its lap on Laguna Seca. Being such a small car with 116hp and 594kg, this car is just mad light and fast! Look how it overtook the Honda Civic EK! Damn, I guess this car would be crazy at tracks in real life too. Can't wait to bring to the track one day and attack those larger monsters! Heh

Honda S600 replacement keys in the key barrel

My replacement keys have been done in Ipoh, since the locksmith is not usually there in Kampar. This locksmith was recommended by a family friend, who owns 4 classic cars, those being the VW Kombi/bus, Opel Gemini Coupe, Morris Minor and also the Mercedes 190E. Bless him with his passion for classics, he is definitely keen on seeing my Honda S600 finish its restoration. I have something that is gonna come from Japan soon. Boy this car is such a global parts car!

Honda S600 side mirrors and Nardi Torino limited edition wooden steering

I just recently came back from Sarawak from family visit and received 2 awesome boxes that contained parts that helps me speed up my restoration process. I bought a Honda S600 original side mirrors from another forumer, who had them on their Honda Civic 1st generation, then removed it when it didn't looked that good. Anyways, here are the pictures of the items. I am using the Nardi Torino, till a cheaper and real steering wheel of the Honda S600 is found (as pictured below). The purchases created some damage in my pocket already, but what can I say, its all for the glory of restoration.
