Regret so much Regret.

Well I now have a 1991 Honda Accord. It's ugly, the interior is trashed, and I've had it for a week and have already spent $400 on it and it still looks the same. I'll post some photos of it tomorrow after I try and clean it up. Yaaay for ratchet hondas!!!!

[cressidodd]

I'll be waiting

Lol. Lets get her done

Bruh. Most of the work needed on the accord can by done by you.

Strip the interior, wash that shit with dish soap to get the grease out. Scrub everything. Seriously, it looks nasty in your other thread. If the carpet stains won't come out, just dye it black. If the seats don't come clean, check craigslist or ebay, or just throw in some CL1 euro R recaro seats(front + rear under $1000). Then sand the shit paint down, and bondo the small dents, bigger ones will have to be pulled. Take that shit to Maaco and have them paint it pussy pink or some shit for $500. I shit you not, some Maaco shops do a damn good job, you just need to find the shop that will do a quality job. The lows are cheap, it's a honda. Tein Street basis $500, or you could go with more adjustable made in taiwan options for a little more. Wheels? Craigslist has plenty of stolen wheels to choose from, can't be too hard to get a legit set for under $500 with tires. Then throw on your new mad tyte EUDM tails.


That's like $1500 paint, coilovers, and wheels.




Seriously, you traded a chevy for the accord. $1500 is half as much as some people spend on wheels here.




see this shit

This has plenty of potential! Not a honda fan, but i would happily have an accord... Don't know why...

Well I got it running today!!! I just need to fix the high idle, smog it, and get new tail lights and it should be good to go for DD duties!! I'll take photos tomorrow after I wash it and try and make it look a little better. I've already gotten a new battery, stock airbox, axle seal, new drivers side axle, 2 new tires for the rear, new power steering belt, oil change, and a transmission flush.

Things I still need - Hood, Grill, Bumpers, Both doors on the passenger side, new wheels that match, fix power steering leak, replace oil pan, new muffler, new seats, carpet, trunk lid, tail lights, fuel level float, get RPM gauge working, get temperature gauge working, get all new lines and compressor for the AC, replace heater core, get radio wiring fixed, install sub/amp/headunit/new speakers, and then when all of that is done I'll look into paint.

seems like you got a tons of work on your car. However, why I'm all for good maintenance and all, why keep the fun part away until it's all fixed? If you think this way you'll probly never drop it loll.

First thing to do is drop this shiet. Cutting the spring is fair game if you are poor.

Well I guess it needs a new alternator now. I won't charge the battery or the engine so the engine was running off the battery and now the battery is dead.

lots of fixing.. sounds like fun.

[Luke Girard]

Not when you have no money and you car is now stuck in the school parking lot over the thanksgiving weekend.

[DukeNukeEm']

Why...

Out of all the cars... why...

It's all I have. I would love to sell it and save up some money and buy another BMW but I need a car for school and a car so when I finally get a job I can get to work.

[Pauluzz]

So you need a car for school, but the car doesn't work so it's parked at school. You have no money to fix it...
How 'bout you sell it and buy a mopet? Of get a parttime job... Everything is out of order here..

Sadly it's super hard to get a job where I live and I can't drive a moped on the freeway 30 miles to school there and back everyday.

This man speaks the truth. Here in good ol' blue california, the job market it very poor. The unemployment rate isn't bad because they aren't counting the underemployed. Everyone who lost good jobs in the recession are still fighting over entry level positions that are usually filled by students and young people. Seriously, there's a girl with a BS working the registers at a mcdonalds near me, and my friend Jun has an AS and years of hands on experience networking and he's a cashier making $10/hr.



I didn't know the accord needed so much work, damn. Can't wait to see the transformation. Oh yeah, I read that if you mix baking soda with dish soap it can break down grease and make it easier to clean. So that interior won't look so dirty.
