      Great work Mike. I wonder what you're going to get yourself into when you're like 60+ years old? You seem like you're always up to no good.

                well the antenna never quite worked in the first place, so pretty soon after i got the car and had mounted my spoiler to it, i accidentally closed the spoiler while the antenna was half up. it bent the end over and looked pretty stupid. left it like that for a while until i came back to my car one day and found that my gf (at the time) and her friend bent it into a zig-zag lol. no point bending it back, itll just look all kinked up anyway. plus, it adds character :P


                ...i still gotta get around to painting the wiper arms...


                im thinking of making a junkyard run this weekend, maybe ill be able to pick up everything i need to finish this up, like sideskirt clips and such.

                  been... 4 months since my last update?

                  anyway the car still runs great, i drive it all day every day.

                  i said in my last post that i need to paint the wiper arms, i did that.... months ago lol

                  i also finally added a few of the missing pieces excalibur02 gave me the mirror and shifter, mass-accord hooked me up with the tails.


                  still to do:
                  - get some clips and put the sideskirt back on (hide some of that rust)
                  - swap out the 94a mount (harsh on an auto :X) in favor of the stock mount that i have
                  - replace '90 headlight and broken corner light w/ a spare '93 pair (that im getting from my coupe... lol)
                  - replace o2 bung (its stripped, loose, and leaking. makes an annoying rattling sound paired with the fart noise of an exhaust leak... its killing me)
                  - get these tires swapped onto original 10-spoke alloys that i have, unless i find a set of stock rims/tires already mounted for VERY cheap
                  - double-sided tape the ACCORD emblem back on lol

                  otherwise it just needs a real good wash, some touchup paint and wax. and a good interior detailing, i dont usually ever do that in the winter...

                  then its ready to sell, which means i need to focus on that truck and coupe more...........

                  finally have a mirror. its hard to get used to driving with no passenger mirror, it was starting to hurt my neck.


                  i was missing pieces of my shifter including the black plastic cover plate. all nice and tight now.


                  stock tails, im saving my red/clears that were on it.

                    yesterday it rolled over to 222,222.2 miles! that was fun.

                    anyway it was a beautiful day out today so i took the time to:

                    - wash the exterior
                    - degrease the engine bay
                    - DETAIL and vacuum the interior
                    - touch-up paint all of the nicks (especially on the new passenger mirror)
                    - installed the driver side sideskirt
                    - installed a stock intake airbox
                    - taped the ACCORD emblem back on

                    and a couple days ago i installed a new front motor mount (a stock one)

                    the passenger side headlight i have, its ready to go on, but i didnt want to start that yet.

                    so this car is actually looking pretty respectable! its still running great, so the only thing i need to do now is fix that o2 bung leak. and then put a different set of wheels on it before i sell it!

                          no way man! the goal for this thing is 100% OEM stockness. if im going to sell it, any aftermarket parts are worth more to me to keep/sell separately, as well as the fact that a clean stock car will generally attract more buyers for a better price. they just wont have to know that it was built out of a dozen other accords... lol. i think youd be surprised at how nicely it is turning out, ill take some updated pictures tomorrow morning!


                          that reminds me, during the winter, the driver side outer CV boot tore. i think i have an extra axle (or did i pitch it last winter, thinking "id never need this"???) so either way, that needs to be replaced as well.

                              Looks great man. Really came along way.

                              You gonna use the money from this and put it into the coupe?
