Thank's a lot for all your great comments , there is a bit of you in that shark !
Since i don't know how to quote i'll answer a couple of questions and comments like this.
IcemanG17 , thank's but i won't concour with my shark cause it's not perfect , i'm proud of my car because of the result and the difference when looking at it before and because it has been done by the rookie i was in a far place with few knowledge and few means.
Marine Blue , i did'nt count the hours i spent on this project cause it had to stay a hobby with pleasure i just took care of how much i spent on the car.
Airflite40 , yes you saw well i have aluminum balljoints and there like new , since i had to stop the expenses somewhere and i wanted to keep it as original as possible AS I COULD i've decided to keep them . I must say that the car is driven about 400 miles a year and the rest of the time it is in the garage with controled humidity and temp. with it's older cousin my 911
Michaelathome , you have a good sight , the car was originally white and painted green , a certain green , i wanted it original and i love white cars. The undercoating has'nt been took off because it was still very well glued to the body , it has been cleaned to death and repainted , and don't worry the photos have'nt been taken like if the job was finished before reassembling , i took a picture once in while and some sections of the car have'nt been done at the same time (not for the paint job of course). And like i said to Airflite40 : i did the best i could to keep it as original as possible and do you know what was one of the worst thing doing that around here ? : to get little parts like nuts and bolts , i got used to hear '' no we don't have that !''
Yes Nicole it was a labour of love or a hobby of love should i say , every part has been treated with passion like from the one's who made them.
And yes i'm probably crazy but i did'nt do that on a civic but on a Porsche

I must admit that i have been pretty anxious sometimes. When you don't have to hurry because you need the car things are different. When i was feeling down i was watching some passes of RISKY BUSINESS. Not the sex scenes with Rebecca 
the one with the shark.
I can also tell you that , when after a few seconds of starter i heard the engine turning for the first time after a four year sitting and a so long ''road'' i cried like a young girl !
And by the way sorry if i sound strange sometimes but to add to the challenge english is not my first language.

You're right about the side markers Airflite40, i hate them too , i think they have been put there to import the car here (Canada) to be street legal , i wanted to remove them before the paint job but the guy who did the job was afraid to fill the holes they would have left, because it's aluminum and when you weld aluminum there are many chances it waves.
I did'nt know the balljoints had been recalled by Porsche, do you know if the recall is still in force ?
