Also got my new lower balljoints in this past weekend. Hopefully next weekend I will put it all back together!

Is it possible to put a 5th gear from a cb7 into a prelude tranny easily? My friend wants "highway gears".

Loving the woodgrain and those wheels are one of my favs. Pure sex, especially the specs

I would assume it probably would work, I think there is a DIY on it.

Thanks man! Hoping to get some more woodgrain in the interior once I get it back on the road.

Thanks dude! Hopefully I will be able to set it down on the ground again this weekend. Sorry for the loss, can't wait to see what you do with a red CB chassis though.

New update

Had my dad take my LCAs to work with him so he could press out the
bushings. He told me three came out fairly easy but one was hanging on tight.
Took 20 tons of pressure to get it out! Haha. He also ended up running
through the parts washer and painting them!

I'll be putting the new poly bushings in within the next couple days.

Did some work this past weekend. I got the transmission and all suspension back on, only thing I am waiting on is a brake pad I misplaced.

doing work, I love it!

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

Thanks Steve!

I have done more progress just can't put up pictures from my phone. I got all the suspension back on the car and it is now sitting back on the ground. Tried lining up the front exterior parts last night but it just isn't going back together how want it to.

Chassis straightening rack might possibly in the car's near future...

[Domesticated]

I did my LCA's about a month ago. My 20 ton barely made it happen. I media blasted my LCA's and repainted them black too haha.

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

Final touches before putting wheels on. Rigged up a way to put the transmission fluid in without help, lol.

Got my car finally back on the ground!

Temporary front end on...

Finally out of the garage. Drove it around as well. Everything is nice and solid up front, i'm loving it!

Same day I went and got my Enkeis mounted up to some 215/45s I got for cheap!

Items to fix/look at:
-Dust cover in front (rubbing against rotor)
-Speed sensor
-Front end alignment (susp)
-Front end fitment (take to body shop to be put on unibody straightener)

Hopefully by January I will be driving it again!
