Special thanks to my members!

This one of my favorite 80s foreign cars ..glad to see you keeping her alive
I've owned Hondas almost my entire married life which is just over forty years at this point. I fell in love with them the moment my childhood buddy drove me around town in his brand new '82 Accord sedan. I couldn't believe the refinement in such a small car and the engine just purred like a kitten. I just had to have one and three years later I bought a new Civic sedan which I owned for three years before I traded it in for an '88 Accord LX sedan. I loved that Accord and I owned it for 14 years before we sold it to one of my wife's co-workers. I've been driving my '98 CRV from the moment I drove it off the dealer's lot in March of that year. Every knowledgeable owner of a first generation CRV knows those little suckers are reliable as hell if maintained properly...and a big part of that is making sure the valve clearance is checked/adjusted every 40k-50k miles. Case in point: Mine still has the original fuel pump and the original starter finally died several years ago. Did I mention it has nearly 302K miles on it currently? I loved this series as those 2nd gen Accords occupy a special place in my heart. Thanks, guys!
Sounds like you have had some great experiences with Honda over the years. Love to hear it! Thanks for watching.
Wheels are great choice for the color of the car.
Totally agree.
Yes!! so cool that you didnt give up on this car. its so cool! my fav gen accord !!
Another nice video, thanks for that and for keeping the Accord alive.
I usually watch TH-cam on my TV not being signed in (kiddo messes up my recommendations) but for some odd reason your videos are never recommended even though I regularly search for them while other (bigger) car TH-camrs are.
Am subscribed, so I'm alerted to new videos on my phone but still feel you are losing out on views that way.
Thanks for letting me know. I figure something like that may be happening, but there is not much I can do.
My mom’s brand new ‘85 accord didn’t come with a passenger side view mirror.
So cool!! This makes me soo happy! I really appreciate seeing you guys but in so much hard work into this old car, and seeing it drive is simply amazing! Wish i could drive that car again one day! Keep up the great work guys! 👍👍👍
Thanks for the support man!
He said no need to show the same thing twice lol u never posted a video the first time
Exactly, that's why I didn't post the first video. I show it in this one.
@@TMPGarageOOHHH OK gotcha u didn't post the first video because you failed. I see
she sounds good
Another project car is done and another million more car projects to work on!😏😅
Great video like always🤠👍🏻
So true. I still have a few things that I want to do on it.
great video really enjoy it , car runs really great... Great job guys well done ,,
Thanks Anthony!
Hope ya'll checked the head and block deck for flatness. If it's not within warp limit, it WILL leak again.
We did, it leaked because of a catastrophic failure of the head gasket. Not because it was warped.
good morning
My first Honda accord when I was 16 back in 1996. My mom bought it back when I in preschool in 1984 even drove it to college. Glad to see your keeping alive.
She definitely deserves it.
She's sounding really good like a turbo powered sowing machine
Lol, I think it has a small exhaust leak.
Nice job on the car 🚗
Thanks! 👍
Nice 😀
Hard to watch a good head job on TH-cam these days with out it being sensored!! 😂😂😂😂 😊
Exactly. Lol
yes
Awesome Job ! Looks great & runs great !! Thanks !!
Thank you for watching and supporting.
Wow! You guys are so cool! I wish I knew you guys personally!
Thanks Jack!
I just picked one of these up sitting in a field for 20 years lol its a sei
Damn, I am jealous.
Well done on fixing the head gasket leak issue!!! The Weber carb install was a smart move. Do you guys have a flat bar inspection plate to check the flatness of the cylinder head and block? That would be a great inspection tool to have.
We used a straightedge to check, probably not perfect. But I am confident that it is fixed now.
@@TMPGarage Okay, gotcha. You guys do really good work on the Japanese cars.
no work on the air conditioner
That's the plan.
Car does his work nice keep up the good work boys bless
Nice to see that thing still running. Do they make a fuel injection conversion for that. Ac working?
You could convert it to fuel injection, but it would be a pain. AC is a future video.
you guys did a great job on the car with all of your hard work, very nice 👍
I have this car sitting in my driveway!
Poor thing needs a new carb
Oh nice! Love these old Accords!
Any updates on the vehicle? How has it been running?
Would love to see a TH-cam video on how you put the weber on that car!
Good job guys! Glad to see you were able to get it sorted!
I am glad that old Accord is up and running instead of being in a junk yard waiting to get crushed for scrap metal. She looks ready for many more miles of driving.
Oh yeah, running great now. Hopefully I can even get the AC working.
Took months to get here, but glad to see shes finally getting the love she deserves to stay on the road. And its good to see her continued to be buttoned up.
I am hoping I can get the AC working soon.
Great work fellas. I'm glad to see you back in action!
Thanks Greg! Lots more to come
So you are showing it again and you ask people to sub? I'm, like most people are going to unsub because you are boring. It's not even your car right?
It's definitely my car. And I am sorry you feel that I am boring. You have any suggestions?
Suggestions other than not using "like" as a filler word of course.
@@TMPGarage Ignore him. It's easy to see by the feedback that he's in the extreme minority so keep doing what you've been doing
Awesome video! I bought a 1985 Accord Hatchback from a neighbor. He bought it new and it sat in his back yard for about 15 years. A grandson and I hooked a chain to it and drug it home. I ended up installing a Weber carb also. What vacuum hose did you guys hook up to get the cruize to work?
Thanks for watching! It was the only vacuum line that went to the cruise control.
doing a little research, I guess it's a line that runs into the frame? I'm going to try and make time to check it out today. Thanks!

You should make a video to document your score. I would love to check it out.@@parttimelr
I wish I would have. Done a lot of stuff to the old girl that would have been great for youtube. Rebuilt the steering rack and couldn't find struts for it so we installed inserts into the original strut housings. Maybe I'll start videoing the rest of my progress.

Sounds great. I subscribed to your channel and will watch if you post something. I highly recommend making some videos, at the very least it will give you something to look back on, or your friends and family to watch if something happens to you, not to be too overly morbid or anything. Haha.
Congratulations to Colin and you! ..those vacuum hoses used up too much time... But mainly congratulations, the wheels match the car perfectly!
Yeah, we wasted too much time on the old vacuum system. And I love the bronze weeks on it.
