    I got one!

    Well....didn't expect to find or buy this today, but I just had to.

    1993 SE coupe. Yup. This is a local car, guy lived across the street from my friend. The kid drove this car for a while with a knocking rod, so the motor is pooched.

    I can get another F22 for about $200 and throw it in. I paid $300 for the car. It does have wheels on it, I took the 15" alloys with new tires off that EXR wagon I posted a little while ago.

    The car is still going to be at the yard for a few weeks as I have some financial issues to deal with, but I had to atleast put a deposit on the car to hold it. I couldn't let this SE escape.

    It has 241 000km. Interior is complete and in great shape. Only a small rip in the driver side bolster.

    But look at how straight and clean the body is! There is 1 dent with some rust on the passenger side fender, and it needs a fuel door.

    This car is about as clean as my 91 SE was,maybe a little less, but either way, I had to jump on it, cuz I wanted a coupe and for the past 2 months I've been looking for an Accord and I can't find anything decent.

    So, here she is. My new baby.


    I walked around the corner as was greeted by this.


    Straight body!


    mmm, tan leather


    Clean!


    See the rust on the fender. Thats the only bad spot on the car.


    I'm excited. My search is over and I can rest easy now.

    Ew, it's gold...

    Looks like it still needs some cleaning up but all-in-all, it looks good.

      Oh, it needs a good clean inside and out, but once you see it for what it is, it's a complete car in very good shape underneath.

      It may need a new engine, but the interior and body shape are better than anything running I've found for sale that isn't more than $2500.

      I'm sure I'll be painting it too, since the RH fender needs to be replaced.

      White or black with tan will look rather delicious. Perhaps something different. Who knows.

      For now, I need to get it driveable so I can ditch the Mazda 3. But I'm seriously happy and stoked that I found it and saved it just in time. I always used to see the car around town and every time I saw it, no matter where I was or who I was with I'd yell out "GIVE ME THAT SE!"

        Nice find! Good luck with that coupe.

        Man, it looks so sad sitting there in the mud without wheels.
        My pictures/photos will return soon...

          yeah, it used to have the nice 7 spoke SE rims on it. Dunno where they disappeared to, so it just has the normal EXR alloys on it now, with brand new tires too haha.

          It needs an engine, exhaust, gas tank and maybe brake rotors unless these ones clean up. I won't have the car in my possession for a few more weeks though.

            It was really scary when I got the guy to come pick the car up with the loader so that I could bolt the wheels on it. He started to get under it and almost pushed it into the car beside it and would have busted the mirror off. It was pretty tense watchung him finally get the car picked up without damaging it.

            He finally got it up with no issues and a big sigh of relief from me lol.

                  Those tan seats are mint, one of the best looking leather ones around!

                    The seats aren't mint...but they're probably as close to mint as you'll find for a 20 year old Honda. The driver's side bolster has a small rip, and then there's the usual wear & tear, but there's no damage to them otherwise. The black leather in my 91 SE was stupid mint.

                    mercyboy, I've wanted another CB since I got rid of my 91. I like the Mazda, but it just doesn't have the character and feel a CB does.

                    Yes, it has the chrome fender deelies. Not sure how they're mounted. I think they screw on the inner lip.

                    I looked around the classifieds. F22s are ranging $200-250, some H22s are going 600-1000 and I found an F20B with a tranny for $700.

                    I'm pretty sure that for now I'm just going to drop an F22 in it, get it running and get things sorted out. I bet the kid that junked it will shit his pants when he sees his Accord back from the dead, especially since we're planning to move into the same subdivision he lives in.

                      Damn you with those seats and how they're already heated

                      Im pretty sure the color is cashmere silver, a color also commonly used on legends

                      Its a really nice color that actually looks good when you paint the side moldings with it

                      I can't wait to see it at home cleaned up.
