crazymikey : 1991 Accord EX-R (2)

[crazymikey]

The stereo "was" nice, back in the 90`s, when it was installed, along with
that sick ass VCR and PS2...and CD Changer.

Like you said, its your DD and you need it to suit your needs.
Do what needs to be done. I always like "tearing" up other peoples
work, get to see whats going on all behind the panels and such.

Again, awesome score.

Well, whoever did this audio install did it right, and spared no details and cut no corners.

always fun removing electronics installed by someone else.
I like the wagon

[crazymikey]

Diagnosed my no sound issue for the stereo. Front left speaker wire was grounding out.

Plan to install my new UCA within the next couple days. Preferably before I make a 4 hour round trip to go pick up my H22 on Saturday.

[crazymikey]

Today I had an older guy ask me what car the section of roof and glass I added on was from.

I was like The Accord wagon....

[crazymikey]

New upper control arm installed on the driver side. No more dangerous knocking balljoint.

[crazymikey]

While installing the new UCA, I found this car has an adjustable camber kit. Winning.

Today I swapped over the blackhoused headlights from the coupe, and currently rocking a Plastidipped front bumper and grille.

Please don't tell me your riding the plastidipped fad now .....

[crazymikey]

No sir. Just a cheap temporary fix to make my severely stone chipped front bumper not look so terrible without spending the money and time on paint and prep.

Actually not a fan of the Plastidip after using it. Shit's expensive and it's only cool because you can remove it.

I plan to do some paint and body work to the wagon, but it may not happen for a while.

Debating to leave the bottom half blue and do silver from the bodyline up and split it with an orange pinstripe. The paint on the lower half of the car is in decent shape, but there is rust. The clear is all peeled off on the roof and fenders.

The car warrants a full repaint, so we'll see. I plan to keep this car, so it's worth fixing properly.

I also just wanted to try the Plastidip to see what all the fuss was about.

Wheeeew.. You have damn fine taste in mods Mike and I didn't think you was on the band wagon ( no pun intended ) I totally understand now.I like the idea of two tone on the wagon . I know whatever route you take it will be awesome..Your like Charlie Sheen , WINNING ...Especially in the cb game of life.

[crazymikey]

Haha winning. I've never been one to be trendy or jump on bandwagons.

On another note, I picked up an EF hatch spoiler at the yard today. My weekend project will be to fit that.

Nice that you plastidipped you bumper. But after my fiasco with my hood, i wont be using that again even though its really good.A two-toned cb9 is a sexy idea

[crazymikey]

The wagon had some 3M type clear vinyl on the hood, but was peeling up so I took it off. I used your idea with the Plastidip to spray on a temp bra, but it looked awful, so I ripped it off.

The bumper and grille look good, and I did the door moldings too.

Eventually it'll get the TLC it needs.

Many thanks need to be sent to Alex, the previous owner who sold me the car for so cheap, and held it for a few days before I could come get it, as well as for the hoard of extra parts that came with it.
