So last weekend I ended up going to the junkyard and getting all the parts I
needed to finish my car for less than $30! So all in all it only cost me $40 total
to get my car drivable again!

Pictures on there way...

Ill get that stuff for ya man i have them in my shop now ;]

Good job piecing her back together, Now if only i had the time to treat my first lady right!

Thanks man. I might be going to the junkyard this weekend unless you can meet
up on saturday. My dad needs to park his truck in the shop so he doesn't have
to scrape his windows every morning, lol.

Dude that sucks! But good to see you didn't junk her like a civic.

Thanks. I have projects that have started worse than this. This is just a little speed bump!

Thanks man. This is the only car I have driven daily since I got my license. Can't
give up on it now, especially since it is a easy fix. Did no damage to either
fender and already had an extra set of headlights so only needing a new rad.
support and hood latch.

You sir a true CB7 enthusiast, I am proud to see you fixing up the damage and getting her back on the road.

awww broooo.... Really sorry to hear that. Like...super bummed. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do from here on out. I know you've gotta couple other WIPs, but i hope you stick with the CB chassis.

Glad YOU are ok though..

Thanks man. It will be back, probably next spring or something. Still have that
list above to do! haha. Yeah the good thing was I had another vehicle I could
drive that way I didn't have to worry about mending the accord quick.

Some pictures...

I got some bad news... Only a few know about this but I figured it is time to let everybody know...

I wrecked my car about two weeks ago, rear ended somebody on my way to
work. The car is fixable though. I believe when the person in front of me
slammed on their brakes and I did the same, my brake line blew up causing me to
keep rolling on the front passenger wheel. The line was cracked right where it
bolts up to the knuckle.

I'm sad to say that within the next month or two I won't be driving my car for
awhile. Need to do a bunch of maintenance I have been neglecting to do.
While it is down I have some plans for more power as well.

To Do List:
-Timing Belt
-Accessory Belts
-Front seals (all)
-Water pump
-Rear seals (all)
-Oil pan gasket
-Reseal or Change transmission
-Front Upper Control Arms
-Front Lower Balljoints
-ES kit?
-Front brakes
-Spark plugs
-Tie Rods
-Fix wheel

Upgrades:
-Bisimoto header
-exhaust cut-out
-custom intake piping/box
-Delta 272 cam?

There is also something I'm planning but it is secret for now until I get the
project going. If I end up taking the motor out to do these things then the
engine bay will definitely get a good scrub, buff and wax.

Love that your running staggered with the 9in wheels. And the all clears are going to look great on the dark red body. Keep it up!

Thanks man, I like the staggered look as well. Makes it seems more aggressive.

Are those all clears 90 91?

Yes they are 90-91s!

I need a set of those rims. I love how they look...

I think something with a dished face would look good on your car, lol.
