steelbluesleepR : 1990 Accord LX

what the hell. I've been watching your thread and hoping you would have this
baby going already at least dropping in some wiring. can't wait to see it all done. I saw this car in person in the Columbia meet and I"ll always remember
jagermeister bottle.

whats up my Mid.MO. PEEPS

haha thats when i was like 3 hours late because i overheated at least 6 times on the way there!

i had to take the opportunity i was presented, i've always wanted to go to a legit spring break, and didnt want to miss out depending on what happens with my grades this year. dont worry though, it was just a temporary speedbump. i'm getting really close and i garauntee that it will be running for IA.

well, i cant find an h22 near me in my price range, so it looks like i may have to find a cheap f22ax and drop it in until i can find an H.


or this might be a possibility...

i know the guy selling it, he actually used to be in the car club I was an executive of. i'll see if i can text him and get a deal, he's been trying to sell it for a while.

edit: just saw that he said it needs a crank because its cracked. well i have an h22 crank, rods, and new type-S pistons, new head gasket, etc so i might still get it if he drops the price some more. he's always liked my sub box, so maybe i'll throw that in the deal and get this thing for a pretty good price

I'm home from school now and just got my tax refund back so I'm going to have some good progress from now til IA. I have an appointment set up to take my car in to get the bay painted this wednesday, and I'm zeroing in on a good h in my price range.
Stay tuned!

Well, my car is out of the shop for the first time in two years! Its on a dollie behind my truck ready to take into the body shop first thing in the morning. Not only will I be having the bay painted, but I'm also getting the quarter panel rust fixed and the black 92-93 trunk paint-matched.

Damn I can't wait to see it (and share the pictures with you guys)!

Thanks man, but its not a bandpass, just a sealed 3 cubic foot box with an added fiberglass face

[steelbluesleepR]

Is there more sanding to be done or is it ready for paint? The firewall is looking better than I expected to be honest.

[SPLCB7]

What do you want for that black coupe interior? I could use that id perfer to have black over cream pm me if its still around and that bay looks really good good job

um, thanks, I think...lol

But yeah, its still pretty rough, needs some more work done to it before final prime and paint.

I just texted the guy that had the interior and he crushed the car yesterday

That stinks lol oh well...

the bay is painted, but i wasnt happy with the results. i'm giving the painter one more chance before i take it to somebody better (and more expensive). it looks pretty decent in pictures though

[steelbluesleepR]

So I finally get the fucker painted after two years, and nobody even notices? That's encouraging...

Anyway, I'm pulling it from the painters shop tomorrow and have an appointment with a much better painter in a couple weeks
