First CB7, new here. Hello from VT!!

[Jarrett]

So I take this as a sign that you're keeping it?!

I've yet to see a cappuccino brown Accord with a '92-'93 front end on it. For all the things that it would seem silly to be excited about, I'm definitely excited to see that outcome! Hurry up!

Haha, yeah. I'm keeping her. I had one of those moments that I'm sure many of us have where I started thinking about trying to get a more modern car and just how much money its going to take to get this 25 year old car where I want it. But then after just one drive , I remembered why i love this car, and why its important to keep going with it.

indeed, just like my 2nd cb, I'm currently looking for the parts needed for the 5 lug swap and some oem honda 5 lug wheels, looking at some lude rims or accord/itr rims if i want to drop alot on them, still unsure if im going disc in the back yet. love the look of that ride of yours, wish mines paint was that good, going bad or not its sharp man

Thanks!!! Rear disc is also in my future I hope. I'll never understand why they used drum on an ex coupe.

finally warm enough here in VT to wash and wax outside!!! I clayed , polished, and waxed the car yesterday. I PROMISE TO GET PICS of everything i've been doing tomorrow. Waiting on my headlights, HID kit, and springs to get here too

[802cb7]

My projectors came in today. I'll be 100% honest, I'm actually very surprised at the quality of these. Well made, glass lens, and everything is there. I'm going to add some extra silicone just to be safe, and I'm still waiting for my H.I.D system to arrive. But over all these seem pretty legit. Also looks like a good base for upgrading to a better projector as well, tsx, s2000, etc... My springs came in yesterday , but still need to order a camber kit, and some other things before those go in. So parts are slowing building up just taking my time and keep it clean!!!





And no, I will not be using those corner lights. waiting for some amber ones.

Very clean coupe .

Very clean coupe .

Thank you, I hope by the end of summer to have it even CLEANER

[802cb7]

HID kit is in 8000k , Great haul at the junk yard today too

9293 bumper

mint condition dash bezel

9293 grill

mint H piece for steering wheel (mine was all chipped up)

SE leather arm rest

[802cb7]

Spent a little time yesterday replacing the bezel. Cleaned all the vents and such. Been waiting since last August to have a nice clean looking UN-BROKEN! bezel. Have a cigarette lighter now too.

Replaced this, I got too close to the old one with compressed air when I was cleaning. Now I know better!


Here is the donor bumper for my 9293 swap, just need to get some paint, head back to the salvage yard and grab the fog light brackets, some 3500k HID's for the fogs, and find some more time!!! Work has been super busy lately.


Dash all put back together and since all the snow is gone I put in my Gen 5 floor mats


The Broken Bezel


Want to get a brown dash mat, what do you think? Personally I think it would add to the "old school" look.


My projectors, 9293 fog's, HID kit, and springs




clean up of new bezel


All apart





Replaced the lighter bulb, and ash tray bulb, was even able to get the blue condoms off the stock bulbs without braking them

Nice! The headlights came out great man. Definitely in for more pics.

Thanks, and yeah, there will be many more once I get the front clip all sorted out. Still need to get a bunch of stuff and then have a nice full day to put it all in. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and take my time on things, example ; I'm the dude that takes his tail lights out to wax behind them. lol

[802cb7]

Here is the arm rest I found in the salvage yard. Needs a re-rap, and new foam. Having my friend who does this sort of thing for a living give me a hand. I'm thinking brown leather, pleather, other material? Let me know what you guys think. Also, are the holes already there to install this? Or do I need to drill and tap? if so, I need to make sure I put some good por-15 over the holes.

[802cb7]

Nice!!!! Just scored some Tan DA head rest today off a friend!!!

[802cb7]

Head rest's are cleaned, and in. Looks awesome! Really changes the look from just a simple little swap. Ran the arm rest by my friend and he said he has a bunch of ''Tobacco Brown" leather left over from a previous project. So I'm going with that, and using some special paint he has for the support bracket. Should look sweet when it's all said and done. Weather here in Vermont has sucked, actually snowed today! High's have only been in the mid 40's and its just been non stop rain for the last week So , that means that I cant paint the bumper and get those projectors in the car. I'm frick'in DYING to get those lights in, I've always wanted projectors with H.I.D's and now that I have them there is nothing I can do thanks to Vermonts stupid weather!!! Might be getting a new trunk too. No spoiler and hopefully doesnt leak like mine does. For some reason the drivers side edge is bent up ever so slightly that is allows water in. I know this because I sat inside the trunk while a friend sprayed the trunk for me. Its was actually pretty obvious where the water was coming in once I got in since I could see outside!!!
