First project on it will be the retrofit.


Also, finally got my bumper to sit right again. Took only a little bit of persuasion.

Decided to start tearing into the car since I had all my suspension parts I needed. The end product will be a completely new car handling wise!

After that it was time to take the transmission out. It has been leaking so I am taking it apart and re-sealing it.

You get that tranny all back together? I have always wanted to rebuild one, but it looks so scarry.

Not yet. Need to get some HondaBond and new bolts before I put it together. Taking it apart is pretty nerve racking, especially since I have never done it or seen it done. Haynes Manual definitely came in handy.

[SanJoCaF22DrAcc]

Wow, so the hands manual lists how to rebuild a manual transmission for a cb7? I am going to have to pick one up then. I currently have a Chiltons and it's been a great resource but it doesn't have any info on rebuilding a mt.

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

I'm not sure it shows how to rebuild a transmission, I just needed to take the case apart to reseal it. I can look next time I'm in the garage and see if it does before you buy one.

Oooh great choice in wheels.

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

Thanks man!

Been awhile but no progress yet. Do have everything to finish the
trans though. And a new addition to my collection...

My plan is to get some woodgrain vinyl that matches to make it feel more at
home in the interior.

I never ended up putting full pictures of the new wheels so here they are...
