well guys, some of you know of the crisis I went through about 2 weeks ago with my #5 Accord(the blue one). Well, all that has changed this week...I sold the car for $1700 to some local kid local to rebuild the motor. After all that incident with the car, I was so dissapointed that I was about on give up on CB's forever...well, I guess I was wrong. I was just surfing the AutoTrader one night, and I see the CB Ive been looking for since my #1 CB('91 LX Auto). It was a '91 LX 5-spd in WHITE! with 104k; no rust or body damages. Paint was a little burned here and there, but it was PERFECT! I fell in love...(dont let my girl know)
Yup, so I went to check it out, and this time I checked it under garage light, and with patience. It had a blown head gasket, bad master cylinder, and fast idle module.(thanx Joe) Since it was a dealer, I got the car for $1381($281 tax and title). Car is clean inside, no radio, and AC needs a little work on the inside module.
Ive been so excited of my new project, Ive been buying all kinds of parts...so far Im in the $1002 mark in 2 days....$700 alone i spent in less then 24hrs of having bought the car I had a little money saved up, so this is the result....
