After reading more where posts are supposed to be made, I'll actually post stuff now.
I had always wanted a CB style accord, ever since I had my first taste of Honda with my first car, being a 1988, which lasted a very long time. I never really got serious with looking for a CB7, because most of them are just rotted to pieces in this area, or ones that aren't, are just completely beat to crap and aren't worth the time and effort.
I got lucky on a random Craigslist search, I found a 1990 Honda Accord EX 5 Speed with a supposedly "bad fuel pump", and the ad picture was of the car on the back of a tow truck. I figured it would be a crapchute, but I emailed the guy and asked if he wanted to trade cars, and explained that I would remove the Honda my self if I liked it. We worked out a good deal, and he even allowed me to just go ahead and repair the car there on site. So I did, all it needed was the ICM. Started right up and drove home.
I put out a lot of effort to get this car because it's nearly rust free. In my area, that is impossible, it doesn't happen! a CB7 with no rust? It's either been fixed or is still grandma's car. This one is just that, besides some dents and such, the body, and everything lacks rust.
I'm not sure what I am going to do with it beyond repairing what it needs fixed as it sits now...
