    Beck5953's 1986 Accord DX Build Thread

    I have recently purchased my third 3gee and have decided to start a build thread on my 86 hatchback. I am not sure why i didnt start one a long time ago but oh well. I got the car from a local junk yard for spare parts but I fell in love with it and decided to make it my DD once I get my lisence. The A20A1 was blown up when i got it, so i decided to do a complete fi swap. I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

    Thanks! Ummmm in the process of removing the cabin harness from the white car. Then we are going to remove all the extra plugs/wires that are not needed. Then finally i can start putting the hatch back together. Oh and i am swapping the suspension off the white car to the hatch also. Quite a bit of work left to do haha.

    We decided it would be much easier to get the exhaust and fuel tank out if it was on its side so thats exactly what we did!

    LOL. You might be a redneck if... your engine/car hoist is a front bucket loading tractor.
