Good show Nik!

After my Dad sold his business in '83 he started going to the auction and buying Honda's in all different condition. He was kind of smitten with the little things.

I was over at his place a number of different times over the years when he was doing all sort of different work to them. Me being someone who abhor's engines with timing belts, I challenged him about them several times. He went through a belt change once when I was over there just to show me how easy it was. This was on a Civic as I recall, but might have been an Accord.

To peer down in there where the belt is, it appears to be a witch of a job, but he sailed through it in short order just to show me. So, don't let that job fall out of your control next time.

I suppose it is a blasphemous thing to say on this forum, but I actually like Honda's quite a bit. From time to time you see things on them that kind of make you think those folks have some nutty engineers, but for the most part, they are reasonably well thought out vehicles, easy to maintain, long lived and reliable.

I think you're going to enjoy the project AND the car after you're finished with it.

Thanks for the write up and pictorial, and keep us informed.
