Picked up this bra the other day for $20. Its in brand new condition and has never been used. Not OEM but I'm loving the condition of it.
Interesting pic on the box of the accord with silver side plates on the doors.

Man I'm thinking of buying d00ds black 92 exr coupe with close to 300,000km and making it a project car. Sucks though because I'm so far with mine.
But mine needs about $1500 in body work, so I'm thinking I'm going to ditch mine if I get his and start all over.

Ug.

You just can't see it. I have a rust hole in the engine bay (top of wheel well near engine mount / drivers side), both rear jack points are no-longer there (the passenger side caved in on me last summer/ the jack went up through and the car fell on the ground), and I have a mis-aligned headlight due to hitting a wall with the drivers side and it all being pushed in 1".

So yes the car looks good because I had the whole thing ON THE OUTSIDE fixed and painted. It cost me $1100 or something like that at the time. This is why the car looks so good. BUT..... underneath. It needs work. About $1500 in work to fix all the spots I'm guessing which is a lot of $$$.

NOW.......... I was going to put $$$ into it this summer and fix the body and finish the turbo....... UNTIL....... rustybucket asked if I wanted to buy his car. haha... this changes everything. Because my dream cb7 is this.... (sorry for whoever I'm stealing this pic from)



Now I know my car looks good...... but ...... dam. Look at that!
It does suck that I put so many years in to my car, but everything will convert over from my car, well mostly.
- Headlights,
- seats,
- audio,
- engine,
- shocks,
- swaybars

Plus this car has a sunroof and spoiler and 4 disc brakes already (which is something I've been working on for mine).

The new car would need a lot of work that I already put mine through though.
- Paint, outside and bay. Delete antenna, logos, etc
- Interior (new rug, etc), headliner, trunk liner.
- Engine bay wire tuck.
- Fuse box relocation
- Side marker lights install
- EBC brakes/rotors


It will take ALOT of time to switch everything between the two cars!



Your thoughts?

I would swap everything from the sedan to the coupe and the coupe to the sedan. Then use the sedan as a daily driver.

Engraving what exactly? Like with a dremel?


Ya, liking my new car. It needs some TLC though!

Man, went to a shop in town tonight. Well known for doing turbo setups in the area. I've had engine work done there prior. What pisses me off though is when they talk about the H series like its old and a POS. Talk about how its going to be hard to find parts and to sell the car and upgrade. Basically not supporting what I'm trying to do. I wish there was a shop around here that would support what I want to do and TRY to help me. The whole time I'm sitting there pinging the guy questions and he's saying things like "time to upgrade", "hard to find parts", "you should think about this", and just doesn't seem to wanna do it (turbo my ride). I understand he has supra's and skyline's to deal with and more expensive cars I just hate the thought process I'm seeing... /rant.
