    Exclamation QD, What you think?

    bought the car last summer for a small price. and have since, fallen in love with it. i bought the car knowing the original motor was messed up. the car had been sitting for nearly 20 yrs. in one of my dad's friend's father's field. the interior is nearly perfect, everything is there and in good shape.minus the dash which has a few cracks from sitting for so long. there is no major rust on the car at all. just a few sun spots, only surface rust. started to sand them down and primer till i get the final paint done. i bought the cvcc engine from an earlier year model accord.(mine is an LX), put a new clutch, slave cylinder, clutch and brake master, all new brakes, fuel lines, new set of tires, painted the stock wheels(looked like crap from sitting) replaced all bulbs and such, all new belts, full tune-up, new coil, i had a hell of a time doing it but i sourced a gas tank for it( the previos one was rusted out, bad.) and i ended up ordering a new carb. the one that was on there was actually the incorrect. i had the car timed and tuned. and it ran great. it was actually my DD for a while.tried to get all to get the bugs worked out. one night on the way home from work the car seemed real sluggish, so i stopped and noticed it was smoking, and come to find out. the head gasket went.so now it sits again, just waiting on an engine hoist so i can rebuild the engine. here's a few pictures.
