Just picked her up today! I towed her from Portland Oregon.
91 Accord EX 2-door 5-speed. (clean title)
Everything works! even the A/C!!!
Needs a few things but for $600 i couldn't refuse. Oh yeah, it came with a FULL TANK OF GAS!
Needs a new fender...shouldn't be too hard to find a white one....they made enough of them.
Reason i towed it was because there is a leak in the radiator and it dumps all the water in about 30 seconds. It starts and runs, I drove it around the block, everything feels good.
It needs:
2 new tires
new windshield
driverside fender
radiator
then i'll be detailing it (I'll take pics when i'm done)
doing new timing belt, waterpump and thermostat
then a tune-up to finish it off.
UPDATE 9/18/06
Repairs are underway.
On stands being checked and cleaned. Notice the intake i put on it already
Got the old radiator out to inspect it...2 cracks and some corrosion along the bottom seal.
I got a brand new radiator for $85 and i'll be putting that in tomorrow.
It's also getting a windshield tomorrow, It will be $190 installed at my house.
I found a fender for it for $50 bucks, primered and ready to paint...but i'm looking for a matching white one before i get that one because i don't really feel like dealing with paint.
UPDATE 9/19/06
Windshield went in today...ended up costing $176.58 cause this was the 3rd windshield he's done for my family and gave me a discount. (it would have been $205 after everything)
I got the new radiator in and she runs like a fucking champ. i let it idle in the driveway for 45 minutes and it didn't even come close to overheating.
i started detailing the outside a bit today. HOLY SHIT this paint was dirty. it owned my claybar. check out the pic.
Here is the difference before and after the claybar...yes the door was washed, that's all the shit that was stuck to the paint, apparently they didn't know that wax for cars exists.
this is after polishing by hand...i get my Porter Cable 6 speed polisher tomorrow, it will put this shine to shame.
UPDATE 9/21/06
OK! She's all polished up! Pics dont do justice, it's not sunny so it doesnt show up on the pics.
Yes i even polished the f'ed up fender
My DA in the back checking out the accords ass
(gotta love frost white)
Interior... I have carpets, i have them out drying after i cleaned them.
Last night on a test run she popped a heater hose dumped out most of my my Honda Genuine coolant
but she's all better now... but i had to go back to honda and get more coolant...I also bought Honda Genuine oil and filter for the oil change. (You can't beat factory goods, plus with my discount i get it for the same price as i would from the local auto parts place, i just have to drive a bit further)
If anyone has a drivers fender, i'd prefer a matching white one...please contact me!
