The General shops say that they don't work on Honda's. The Motorsports shops say they only work on Rally or race cars. I have cash in hand and am just looking to get my car back on the road.
Basically it needs the engine pulled, so the clutch can be replaced, a timing belt, water pump, tensioner, new mechanical fuel pump for the engine(already have), the fuel tank dropped, cleaned and fresh lines run. As well as a set of weber carbs installed.
Seems like the list is too long for all the shops that I've contacted to fix.
I'm about the point to ship the car to one of the TV car customizers. Counts Customs or something. Seems like all the shops in the local area want what is easy and aren't looking to make any money.

That's the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. What general shops are you going to that don't work on the most popular car brand on the road? That's like going to a computer repair shop and they tell you they don't work on Windows based PCs.
And Honda won't work on it because it has carbs? What kind of crap is that? That for the most part, makes the car a lot easier to work on because it has no ECU.
I think people just don't like Wagovans.
