Back to Our Roots


So SoHo has its roots way back in the mid 80's when Cahill and I were building old bugs, corollas and then later musule cars.  So when we stumbled across a rare 1992 5 speed accord wagon ex, we knew what we had, but had no idea what we were getting into.  I started the project with the intent of using it as a daily driver parts hauler kid picker upper...after blowing out a tie rod replacing the cv joins, upper a arms, brakes and a stainless steel exhaust I was peeping for a summer of replacing the timing belt, tires and a chip up grade...well 6 weeks before the planned timing belt replacement it slipped.   So I replaced it and it didn't start...pulled the heads and found I had bent all the exhaust valves...so now as I continue to be bogged down by this project the bikes have taken a back seat.  Veruca is on the small front burner and the GT is on the back burner.  I have been so busy with the Accord for the past 6 months that the bikes have suffered...But with AMA fast approching I need to bring balance to the force and get my ass in gear...so here is a pic of Veruca to see her progress

Here is a pic of the vavles...
