    Re: 1977 Accord Restoration

    Thanks man.
    Yeah it's feast or famine, I'm sure a bunch of silvers passed through a couple of months ago over here....lol
    Now it's blue's, gold's, red's and green's......will just have to keep the eyes open.
    I also wouldn't be surprised to find one on the street where someone isn't selling
    and thinks it isn't worth anything and pick that up. One guy already left a note on my car,
    but you know the answer to that. I live in an area with lots of nice cars on the street etc.,
    and guess which one had the break in and theft attempt.....yeah my '77 Accord.........
    I think the choke procedure got them......no ignition kill needed.....lol!

    Shows how much harder the early frt panels must be to find!
    Everyone seems to be fitting the later panels.

    Re: 1977 Accord Restoration

    Well, major change of plans with my work.....won't be able to do the project unfortunately.
    On the bright side, I located a really nice '77 silver donor/restoration car and I'll also be selling mine.
    So I'll list those once I talk to the guy selling the donor.
    Sorry about getting some people's hopes up,
    this other project is just too big to do the Honda at the same time.

    Mine has 129K, valve job at 80K, halfshafts, carburetor, tune up, alternator, timing belt, newer tires, runs and drives well,
    just the roof/panel rust, couple of dents and seats need upholstery but have decent sheepskins on them.
    Thanks.

    Yeah, sorry to disappoint you guys but my work project is huge and I just won't have time for it.
    I'd like to thank everyone who contributed and helped me with info though.

    Only thing keeping me from selling my 1gee is the fact that I know the next owner will drive the piss out of it, then when it dies, it will go to the scrapper and get crushed.

    That's the only thing? Not the Classic Japanese but almost wanna-be classic American styling? The scads of Chrome? The fact that the 1g was the beginning of an era?

    The fact it's a solid-bodied 1g hatch with no rust repair, and possibly original paint?

    Are you some sort of Miata driving douchebag with 2 B20A's?
    ICHIBAN!
