cp[mike] : 1992 Accord EX

mike did you snap where the distributor bolts up too on the cam cap on the head in the last picture?

i didnt, but somebody did... thats how it showed up when it got to my house, im assuming it happened during shipping, but unfortunately i couldnt find the piece anywhere. sometime ill get around to gluing a piece in there, but as of right now, it sucks but its not necessary.

that is looking reall clean. you gotta take a another hi-res background shot of your engine bay once your done with everything.

got some more much-needed preparation done today!

- i stripped the rust off of the rear hubs and painted them.
- cleaned and painted the front prelude calipers
- couple days ago i filled the rear trailing arm main bushings with urethane
- cleaned and painted the new tie rods

i think im going to end up getting new rear calipers, as these are too caked over with rust to strip them down, plus if im doing all new stuff all around, i might as well replace em now.

i think im FINALLY done prepping everything! hopefully sunday ill start bolting it all together, but dont count on it :P

here are todays pictures











heres the whole shebang, minus the front crossmember.

i have no idea if it makes any difference, i got the motor with it already on. i just like it because its reusable

since february 2nd. lol.

[trcsbrian]

geez. thank god for the backup cars, huh mike?

Very nice job Mike. I would have gone as detailed as to powdercoat my suspension as well or use black POR-15, which is durable as well. However, I had to get my car done and didn't have as much time to do the painting of parts. I figure, I have my DD red Accord that I will drive in fall/winter and drive my white only in nice weather spring/summer.

Your attitude, hard work and dedication to your projects give me the motivation to keep going on my projects. Not too many people with such a hardcore attitude. When I finish my white, I think I'll take my fiancee and pay you and the NY/NJ crew a visit. I like the way you guys kick it over there, gotta see in person what y'all about. We'll all have to go cruisin, grab a bite to eat or something, go go-karting, etc.
