The meant to be stock daily. CB7 Accord from Australia!
Thread
Hey StanceWorks! Been a lurker for a fair while, admiring all the other builds that have work more advanced than I could attempt. Anyway, I've been driving a 300ZX for a bit over year, but decided to buy myself a practical daily, so that I could take the 300 off the road to do a bit of work to it, and not have to worry about having it back on the road so I can get to work the next day! Browsing online and found this gem.
So $410 later, I drove home with a 1991 CB7 Accord EXi. I'm the 2nd owner, and it's only done 125000 orignal kilometers! Serviced every 10000km, and has just had the timing belt replaced as well. The body is pretty rough as you will see, but I got myself some spray guns not long ago, so I'm going to get some new panels and attempt a full close door respray!
Anyway, more pics!
New bumper..
So when I bought this, I wasn't planning on modifying it at all, but then I bought these for $600..
Full set of Work VS-XX! They're super rough, 2 need new barrels, all need to be sanded, polished and have the faces painted. But, fitment is already pretty good, and I plan on changing the rears from 18x8.5 to 18x9 with around +15-20 offset.
Current fitment though,
Fronts:
Rears:
And when lowered a bit:
I've also bought a roof spoiler, wind deflectors, a front lip and lowering springs that will give it a 2.5 inch drop. Coilovers would be good, but because this wasnt meant to be modified I decided to keep it cheap!
Thats where it is now anyway! Off to get it registered next week, and then all the other parts I bought will get put on with pics to follow! As well as that, I'm hunting through wrecking yards to find body panels to replace any dented ones. I did toy with idea of flaring the guards but we will see what happens. Lips for the Works will be ordered soon as I don't really want to spend too long rolling on the stocks!
