Wraith's project CB7 – The resurrection of “OLD BLUE”!

[Wraith]

Well as most of you know my last project car (a 93 Honda Accord) was totaled in a very unfortunate wreck on April 22nd 2009.
Here is the LINK to see the pictures from the wreck: I am lucky to be alive!!!

So after a lot of different ideas on what to do for a new project car; I finally decided to try again with another CB7. I was very lucky that almost 95% of my upgrades on my old Accord were still good and buying her back from the insurance company was not that difficult considering they had no idea what she was really worth.
I searched for a while and finally ran across and good deal on a 5-speed 92 Accord LX. It was not in the best shape, but it match my criteria for a new project car; clean title, already a 5-speed (I had to convert the last CB7 to manual and that was a big pain in the ass), and was free from 99% body-damage. I lucked out and found one that was still running/drivable so I could save on towing costs and now I am the proud owner of a premiered, shaved door handled (yes I said shaved door handles and no I am not keeping them that way I still have three good doors from the wreck and now all I need to find is another driver side door) P.O.S.!
OH and BTW and you have to love those awesome taillights!

I plan on keeping this thread updated from start to finish of this Old Skool CB7 build so stay tuned!

We started the tear down of "old blue" and decided before we pull anything we should see if the engine actaully starts and if there were leaks we should be concerned with. Well unfortunately the key would not start it, because the tumbler was crushed in the wreck but after a little work we used a screw driver and a battery cable to jump start it directly from the starter.
Here is a quick video of the result:
