jhoff_cb7: 1996 Accord LX Wagon

[jhoff]

Updating my profile, I see I get alot of views but no comments.
Its cool, its not a CB, but I did have a CB at one point.
I really love my CE1, and I am hoping to finish it soon.

I geuss the reason why it is taking so long, is because my Girlfriend is prego, and its a balancing act.

So, the car got brought to my house on Sunday, its been sitting at my parents since April. I bought the car with the intetions to finish it soon.
My dad brought it up on a "toater", and I didnt ask him to.
As he was taking it off the trailer, he ripped my front bumper off.
I was going to have her put on a flat bed to bring it up, but he was in a hurry to move it for no reason.
So today, I went out and bought new tools to remove the front bumper, and to attempt to replace the trans myself. I have a friend who wants to help out.
I cant wait to finish this project.

I really just want to get her on the road again. But its taking so long.

Did you try replacing JUST the solenoids and is your car actually a 96/97 or is it a 94/95 with a 96 front end on it??? I have done a lot of transmission swaps over the years.... Just want to make sure you don't go creating more work for yourself.

Replace the solenoids, its a 96 Lx lol

Whats up with your front bumper? The transmission swap is NOT hard.... just DON'T forget to unplug the VSS and all the solenoids.... there should be 5 plugs going to the trannsmission apart from the starter wires.... If my memory serves... just take your time... its not hard.... just time consuming.

My dad ripped it off, getting it off the 2 wheel hauler. I was so pissed off. Because it had scuffs, but nothing major. he fucked up the lip and and the clips.

You can fix that seriously...

[jhoff]

im just getting a new cover. Might as well. Dont know what to run for a lip, ill prob just use the old lip.

I didnt get the trans out, but I got close.
It will be finished soon.
Ill move the jack stands when we start to get under the car.
Its hard to lift a dropped car high enough.

The trans is in the car. About fucking time. But, it just snowed and I still got to button everything up.
