I can’t wait for the end result. This build has been great so far.
YouTube suggested the video after I was watching the rusty barnacle rebuild. I was having dejavu watching the video. I was thinking where do I recognize this car from? Pretty funny you didn’t even know about the video.

A bunch more wire harness cleaning and routing. Feels good to run a set of wire and things line up and clip holes are right there. Starting to come together more and more :D

Also did a overhaul on the EVAP solenoid. Thing was CRUSTY! Disassembled, cleaned up, checked and reassembled!

That engine bay looks beautiful. It sends me back ~13yrs when I was rebuilding #981040. Your build is really coming along!

Thank you, we do get caught staring at it from time to time....I'm not really sure tbh on the horn like thingy... I did ear tab the hose routing page in the manual I printed, so Ill take a look there and report back.

Thank you! This past month of work has been motivating for the build. Step by step were getting closer! I bet 13 years ago it was a lot easier to get parts!! I'm jealous!

Yes, Honda hadn't started torpedoing it's loyal base from necessary parts yet. Only the complete distributor was discontinued IIRC. My main limitation was budget.
