If you plan to do a lot of the repairs yourself I strongly recommend you start off in the right direction and invest in a Haynes manual for 94-97 Accords. They are costly ($30 for me) but are totally worth it. The manual is based on a complete tear down and rebuild! Oh, and welcome to the forums!

also you can download a manual for free right here on this website in the DYI section.
It is what I use, I just print out the info I need from it if I am doing something difficult.
