crazymikey : 1991 Accord SE

[crazymikey]

Here's a couple teaser shots for you.

See if you guys can pick out some differences.

[honda_mike]

hmmmm im gonna go ahead and say you added the red pin stripe

[crazymikey]

Yes, but there's more to it if you pay attention to the rear door from previous photos.

[cb7legend]

The door is painted, the red pin stripe and the front rims are different now. Oh and its nice and clean.

[crazymikey]

lol, I havent even washed it yet.

The door is painted....from the factory. When I bought that $150 SE a few month ago, I stripped it in the yard and stock piled some of the parts, including the doors in the corner of the Accord section in the yard.

I just so happened to have the rear door for it. Had to swap the glass over. Figured it was worth getting the door and not have the hassle of painting it.

And I got a set of 4 15" alloys and all seasons.Rocking the 15s on the front and the 18s on the rear til the weather starts to get crappy.

All in all, a very productive night tonight!

Going to paint my grille black again tomorrow. The chrome surround is bugging me.

I think I've seen a se with a red stripe before...looking good and I have the same gas door lol.

[CB7Nub]

Good luck man with your old build, glad you got it back.

lol, it's just carbon fibre vinyl. It's kinda bubbling up now.

My cb's got about the same damage behind on the rear door seam aswell.IMO you should have replaced that molding before pin striping it though.

[Wickit]

Lol can't wait to see the rebuild/restoration!! Still looks pretty good tho, good luck with it tho!

All stuff that will be repaired in time. I'd have replaced the molding from my other door, but it's kinda messed up too.

[crazymikey]

Little update. Gave it the first wash since I've got it back. Nice and clean now.





I love my front end. As you can see, repainted the grille black.


Remember those eyebrow LEDs that someone put on? Found a good use for one of them.

she lookin good bro! Fix the side molding! Take it off and use a heat gun to straighten it out! Amberize them turn signals and get some fogs and hot damn you are set!

[crazymikey]

No plans for fogs....infact I just sold the set I have.

I do have the door molding from the other door, I suppose I'll try swapping them over. Might go do that shortly, because it is bugging me lol

I'd like to get some amber corners. It's been in the plans for a long time, just haven't got around to it. I want the proper ones though, I don't want to DIY these corners because they don't have the reflectors in them. I love when they light up though, because they light up amber and with just the parking lights on, my front end looks so mean.

Need to wait another week or so to get paid so that I can get some paint mixed up and colour match my trunk.

I'm so happy I have this car back. I just love everything about it. It's so comfortable to drive, it's smooth, it's pretty quick with the full exhaust & intake (compared to other CBs I've driven...this one makes my EX-R feel like a horse stuck in the mud), and it's just a nice, clean looking car. Turns heads everywhere it goes. I don't necessarily like all the attention it gets, but I feel good driving it knowing that I built this car by myself, with no help, so I have a great sense of pride and accomplishment in this car. I think that's part of the reason I wanted it back so bad, was because I knew somewhere, someone was driving MY car and taking all the credit for it.

glad you got her back! Oh and bro you can amberize your stock corners by putting the lenses in RID dye, I think....ohh and I was talking about your parking bumper lights lol
