1988 Honda Accord Aerodeck - "Marvin"

[Crazy_C]

Hahaa, thanks man!! I live in the UK and I found it with much luck on eBay.

[egstance]

I don't know were you live or how you managed to find this thing but damn its amazing.

[Crazy_C]

Haha, cheers man, though is that response partly due to it being a 3G Accord? Love the stance on yours in your sig by the way

I need to go that low, but I'm keeping the mudflaps on mine as I can't go that low with where I live



Oh, and I've finalized the design I'm going to go for with the paint job!

[C-Hutch]

FUCK.fYES.

[Crazy_C]

Cheers man. Yea, got a bit more that I want to get done, but will see how it all goes eh? Need to get more money rolling in first.

i want one. really good lookin car. good work

[Crazy_C]

I've been playing with a few ideas on Photoshop, and here's the outcome.







I'm going to be doing a restoration on the bodywork later in the year to get rid of all the little bits of rust that are around the place, and I'll have a respray done too. As majority of my cars have always been matt black, I decided that I'd go a different way with this one, and was thinking either satin white with a gloss black roof, or just completely satin white. Either way, I can't wait to get it done

Well, you say a needle in a haystack..................




A mate of mine has one exactly the same colour, but his is an automatic whereas mine is the top spec manual!!

Forgive the 17"s on mine, they were cheap and better than standard 14" steelies with wheel trims lol

Whoa, talk about a needle in a haystack. Definitely following this.

O im soo jelly! i love ca1's but i love the aerodeck much much more!! In for the forward progress.. whats your suspension plans?

Yea, this is a CA5, so it's European version with the A20A engine in it. Luckily, mine was one of the ones that was never produced with a cat in the exhaust, which is always a bonus!! Though no cat to cut out and sell, which is always a disadvantage. LOL

The suspension plans for it are to run air cylinder struts front and rear with accumulators on them for a bit of comfort. That way I can slam it right the way down to the ground when I want to, but also raise it up when I need to. The under tray is scuffed and scratched to hell and back already, and it's not even that low (well, not by the standards of S|W anyways).

those wheels..................they just work!

I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever seen a set of wheels on a car that everybody loves as much as this combination!! I'm so anxious though about them, I keep parking about a foot away from the kerb!! LOL

that car is so boss that is almost not a honda.

i think it needs a bit more low and less tire but this is def a thread i will be checking around

Hahaaa, cheers man!! I do love my Hondas (had 2 Preludes when I was a bit younger, both 4th gens) but I've always had a real love for shooting brakes. I was looking at getting a Reliant Scimitar GTE, but this came up and I just couldn't turn it down!

You are definitely right though that it needs more low, but I won't be going with skinnier tyres as I do a LOT of motorway (freeway) driving, and just wouldn't fancy that on anything narrower than 185s.





I've been doing some more work on it today, but it's purely maintenance so not worthy of any pics I'm afraid. Just a coolant change, cut the core out of the stat as it was jammed, and bypassed the thermosensor for the cooling fan as that's packed up too, but a new one should be turning up at the garage tomorrow so that's another job for tomorrow.
