My 79 Runs!

[PDXAccord79]

After many years of dealing with this car I think I'm about done with the engine and engine bay. Here's some pics







And a video of it running. It's got a nice throaty sound due to the Weber.



Thanks again guys for all the help. I would have given up on this thing a long time ago had it not been for this forum.

Man that sounds great! Nice work!

That engine bay is BEEEE-YOU-TEE-FULL! Nice work!

[PDXAccord79]

Thanks. I think I'm going to go for a rat rod look with this one. I like the engine bay/interior looking nice while the outside looks a little used. I'm going to flat black it but don't think I'm going to remove the dents. I may also make a Mexican blanket cover for the back seat.

Awesome! Sounds like it's ready to bring to the Seattle meet! ;-) Really sounds and looks good man! Great work!

Is there a site I can use to see when and where the meets are? Sounds like fun.

Engine bay looks nice and sounds better still.... quite a bit of work to get it there I believe. I see EDIS in there sometime like 2Gen did.

Brakes, suspension, clutch, axles and engine are all done at this point so it's road ready. The interior still needs some help but I should be able to find better carpet in one of the yards. I'm going to SEM Color Coat all of the panels which makes them look brand new. I've already done it for the trunk plastic and it looks way better. I'm not going for JDM on this one, just fun, so the dents will stay and it will get some flat black paint to stop what little rust is on it.

Not sure what you mean by this:

Very nice build, always glad when these cars kept on the road!
