tommi : 1990 Accord EX

[tommi]

Sorry to read about your accident. I hope the car can be repaired to your satisfaction. Hopefully there is no damage to the frame. I wish you the best with the repair.

there is indeffinately frame damage but nothing a little frame straightening won't fix. she'll be back guys. i'm going to a salvage yard tomorrow to scope out parts on my day off. so wish me luck guys. and hopefully they wont rape me on prices. :fingers crossed:

[accordtypeR]

Im happy to hear that youre gonna be getting her fixed...yeah finger are crossed for you bud..

[tommi]

Updates! i went to the salvage yard and spent a few hours there being coordinator. haha, i told them what all i needed and watched them piece together everything i needed . i was there from 10am till 3pm so yeh haha. made sure everything was what i needed.

the car i had in mind to get everything off of was already stripped and missing three doors one of which i needed so i had to go around scoping other cbs and found one. but the rear door was in rough shap as it looked like it had extreme oxidizing but nothing a lil paint wont fix. i sat and watched them re-arrange the cars to get to the one i needed parts from. while one guy was cutting the 92 the other guy was pulling the 90 rear door off another car. and removing the side skirt.

so all in all it was a good day off got alot of progress done so i hauled all the bits and pieces down to the body shop i'm taking the car to. so i should hear back from them tomorrow. so i can bring my car down there for them to get started.

Well i got the parts hauled down to the body shop after i got my estimate. :Z it's gonna cost a pretty penny. but i'm not ready to throw in the towel. it's coming back. the car will be done in 1 in a half weeks says the body shop but i wont be here to pick it up so it will be in their care till i get back from vacation.

[tommi]

got some pics from the body shop and they have the cars doors unwedged and opened up, boy oh boy. alot of pulling is in store. it's all a mess right now. they have the new b pillar desected from the chunk i brought them.

Looks like you're getting it turned around fast. I wish the junkyards around me had that many cbs sitting in them.

[tommi]

that's the goal man i go on vacation in 2 weeks so i want this going as fast as i can. and plus i traded someone at work so i could have today off. trust me it didnt go to waste. blows not being able to drive my car! i hadn't gone to this one in months so they were pretty stocked up again haha.

hope they get it done in time for ya, yea i hate not being able to drive my cb, but come friday i hope i will be firing her up for the first time in almost a year lol

[tommi]

i doubt i will be around to drive my car as soon as they get done with her. i'll be on vacation. it should look awesome when i comeback and see her again.

Thats a shame Tommi, car was looking amazing. Hope your vacation was good and everything is back to normal once you get your car back. If you need any parts let me know, I know a local junk yard (yes, in western wa to the user in WA above) that has about 18 cb7's on it.

im kinda late but how is the car tommi? and i have a question did the person screw up you rear quarter too? because i had a wreck similar to yours and i thought that i couldn't fix my car so i started parting it out. now i wish i would've just tried to save it.

[accordtypeR]

So whats the word tommi..
