There's about $4000 worth of body work there going with a halfway decent shop. Are you sure you don't want to grab another chassis that doesn't need the work?

A few more items from the list
Making progress. So yesterday i picked up a brand new lower timing belt cover and gasket from Honda. That stupid gasket is expensive. Unfortunately Honda was the only place i can get it new. Both of these parts are unnecessary. I already have two of these covers that are extremely dirty. I tried cleaning them with brake cleaner, only to achieve mild success.
So i forced out an nearly 80 bucks.. Then again my build is about clean mild Performance and restoration.
I am waiting on the ks tuned walk blocker, before i install the cover. The walk blocker is designed to prevent the belt from sliding of the belt tension pulley. Just extra piece of mind.Last edited by jaykilla116; 07-10-2015, 08:35 AM.a person who looks at somthing and see it as waste is no person at all but he who see what it could be will suceed

Update
. If you have been reading, then you know my car body is not in the best shape. I found a donor car, this guy is giving me first preference part out. I will be getting 3 doors, front bumper chrome moldings, and 2 oem wheels for $200 bucks. The best part is they are the same color.
My main reason for this is to minimize the body work labor.

Here's the mail it bever fails makes me wanna wag my tail .
It's here. The ks tuned walk blocker. For those who dont know its prevent the timming belt from coming off. Peace of mind
They provide the jb weld in the packadge. This item is press fitted to the tension pulley with a thin coat of jb weld. Smiply by using a rubber mallet and rag to clean off any excess.

I honestly the comments.
I honestly enjoy the comments good or constructive doesn't matter it actually saddens me if I make a whole page and nobody comments.
All of my close friends thinks its dope . But they are all car heads.
Others scratch their heads a struggle to see the vision.
Some thinks its a lot of money to spend on such a old car.
And think i should just rather buy a bmw or somthing like that.
I tell them " i owned a g35 coupe for 3 years. My girl owns a 2011 c300 sport. I drove coutless facny cars. Any one can have that if you work hard. With my cb7 its a passion & satisfaction to create somthing over looked and unique. Especially when you do 90% of it your self. For me you cant put a price on that. But im smart about i minimize cost were ever i can with out sacrificing quality. This is something to keep to your family and pass it to a son if i ever have one.
i enjoy spending time on this site helping other members. As much as many of you helped me. And for me thats fun.

Same here.
I don't know why I love CB7 Accords, but I do.
Now that mine is up and running, it brings a smile to my face because it's so much fun to tiy around with. It's like an oversized go kart that's peppy when that H is pulling past 7k on the stock tach. . I love it.
Keep up the good work.The Lord watches over me!

mail is here
The mail is here. Today i received my vms fuel pressure guage.
I ordered this on ebay. I paid $34.90 for it. It came with 2 types of fittings. As a surprise i received a free spoon key lanyard. I used the L shaped fitting. For installation i wraped the L shaped fitting treads in 1 and 1/2 layers of tread tape. Screw hand tight then used a 14mm wrench to tighten and postion. Next the same for the guage, but a 12mm wrench instead. This guage is
the fluid type , helps give an accurate reading under vibrations.

kill time
Today i also moved foward on stage two of my mild wire tuck. I removed both fenders. Holy dirt cakes batman! Mad crud. I removed the harness from the driver side. I discovered my ac subharness can be removed. Also took out my power steering cooler and pipe because i am painting the bay. I removed som brackets and some dumb vacume box that was mounted under the fender. Removed washer resivor for paint purposes. A bunch of other things i stored all items safely in the trunk. I got a bucket of soap and a brush and tried to degrease what i could.
Huhhhhh! Really need an air compressor. Thinking about buying one from harbor freight looks likes its gonna set me back $200Last edited by jaykilla116; 07-15-2015, 09:04 AM.a person who looks at somthing and see it as waste is no person at all but he who see what it could be will suceed
