Frisky's CB7 "Project Clean Machine"

[Frisky Arab]

Many of you may have seen or heard of my CB7 (I call it the beast machine) that I picked up not too long ago as my new daily. Has been the most reliable car I could ask for (So far) and I'm loving it. Anyways, when I first got it, it was a dirty monster so I've been slowly cleaning it up and trying to make it presentable little by little. Keep in mine this "Project" is EXTREMELY budget minded. Not that I don't have the money for some of the simple stuff that I do, but I got the car for free, and some of the stuff I'm trying to accomplish could be done easier or more efficiently, but I'm trying to spend the absolute least amount of money possible. But I digress. Here are the pictures.

1990 Honda Accord LX Sedan

Engine and Transmission:
-F22A4 SOCH non-vtec
-Factory 5-speed
-Pod filter

Interior:
-Purple fleece shift boot (Subject to change)
-All seats cleaned and stained medium gray

Exterior:
Original purple/Barney paint

Wheels/suspension:
-OEM EX 2000 Accord saw blades

Future plans:
-All shocks are blown so I might go with a cheap shock and spring combo. (Not slamming this car)
-Need to take out the dash and repaint it.
-Want a better looking muffler, but I want close to OEM sound.
-Thinking about repairing the rash on the saw blades and painting gunmetal
-Purple bubble shifter


Car when I first got it.

After putting my EX wheels on it.

New Barney paint job.

Now on to the big stuff. Cleaned the interior, and stained seats.

Interior stripped.

Very basic car. This is the whole interior, and trunk linings.

Found these rusty screws and nails throughout the car. Threw them out where the small children play. (joke)

Seats, before and after clean and stain.

Sadly this thing has neither good A/C, nor low mileage. May or may not need a compressor. I have never checked, may just need freon, although I'm almost positive the compressor is bad. And it has just about 240,000 on the clock, still running strong. Not gonna keep it stock, just kind of an OEM+ look. Although the paint is a tad "flashy".

Indeed. And considering there are like millions of CB's in the junkyards around here, it should make finding replacement parts on my budget fairly easy.
