At the request of another member (Puregroove), I shall put all updates in one easy to read and follow thread. So you can see where the car came from and where it goes. Here we go.

In September of 2006, I saw the car in the back of a shop in Conyers and purchased it for $100. It had the factory CVCC 1500/5 speed drivetrain in it. I spent a considerable amount of money to get it roadworthy. Complete Honda tuneup, all new tires, new brakes and a slew of other items. The car had been sitting for a year. but it ran great. For a week. Lolol. Engine blew and back to the shop again. There it sat until February of 2008 (I had more pressing financial issues at the time). The pics go in chronological order.

These pics are of the car when I first bought it and it was still at the shop. The last pic is when I brought it home and promptly lowered it.













The next three are s of the parts I got to get it running and to upgrade. First is the 1.8L Honda Accord engine to replace the blown 1.5L. Then I acquired the Deluxe gauge set that allowed me to have a tach and separate fuel/temp gauges.







This series is when I brought the car home with newly installed engine and after I got the car's ride height where I wanted it.









I got the Deluxe Gauges installed.

OLD


NEW!!




Just got my luggage rack in the mail yesterday and it is now put on.







Got my mirrors in the mail on August 16 and quickly put them on for the Old School Japanese Import Meet.







The mailman brought all the emblems I need and my stock AM/FM radio. Happy now. Again. Lolol.





Yessir. Picked up the ole center console today.



More new shit. I've looked everywhere for these. Or so I thought. Found them, brand new, over on Moreland. Yessir...



Later, QD.
