Good work, looking much nicer.

Is that alternator fitting well? Looks like the position of fixing eyes (the two holes where fixing bolts go through) seems to be a bit different from mine. Am wondering if it fit well? I am also considering replacing alternator and I noticed there seems to be two variations.

Is yours A/T? If so, I strongly recommend Honda genuine ATF (I know it is a bit expensive) as our A/T needs very specific ATF specification.

Plus, if you want to experience real smoothness of the Honda A/T, I recommend to replace all the ATF by disconnect the 2 ATF hoses at the bottom of the radiator and replace as much as possible.
Believe me that would be day and night difference in the smoothness.

good work :D

The alternator is for the Carborator model. They gave me the wrong one at store. I took some pictures try to bolt it on i couldn't and there i found the problem. I returned that one and ordered from ebay.com one for $14. At the store was $65. The one i got now it has four connecting holes/pins the carb one had only three.
About the A/T fluid i will change it and i'll let you know what happend. It works pretty good so far, but i 'll take your advice and get some Honda A/T Fluid. Thanks Again

I guess the bird wanted some of the BBQ

cool pics :D

holy crap thats a big bird.

anyways. overall the car looks clean. looks good.

WTF is that a heron?
This thread is awesome. :thumbup: Keep up the good work man.

yep, looks like a great blue heron. those faakers can be very nasty. Not as nasty as a swan, but they have pin-point accuracy (and fast at that) with their beaks (sp?).

Looks like a great little camp-out spot. Didn't they have some woods where you could have setup the tent instead of a parking lot? Car does look good though. Glad that purchase worked out for you.
