    I gave the 85 a little love today

    I decided it was time to tinker with the 85 today. I put some coolant in it and fired it up. It ran good but the water pipe on the back of the engine is leaking. So I put some air in the tires and pulled it into the garage. I have it up on jack stands now and I am planning on getting it drivable soon. I need to replace the leaking water pipe, the fuel pump, the front and rear seats, and I need to fix some wiring for the rear lights and turn signals. The door locks aren't working either. I need to do a valve adjustment, oil change, trans service, fix some oil leaks and do a lot of degreasing. I am looking forward to getting it on the road again, I have had it for a little over a year and before that it sat in a field behind my neighbors house since 2001.

    Oh man. Yeah get her back on the road! Sounds like a little work, but a good, productive Sunday morning should take care of most of that maintenance.

    I will post pics soon. She's looking a little rough right now, especially the interior. Does anybody know where I can get some replacement leather seats? Since it's an SE-i I would like to put leather back in it but I was also thinking of maybe putting Prelude seats in it like I had in my 84 Accord. I may also check into how much it would cost to redo the interior in pleather.
