Project Accord

Edison Carasio · Post by **Edison Carasio** » Mon Dec 28, 2009 5:38 pm

Here's some crappy pics of the 89 Accord I picked up. Paid $100 for it. It's a 5 speed, carb'd and has power windows, locks, mirrors, antenna, AC, cruise etc etc Needs some work done, such as:

New clutch
New valve cover gasket
Control arm/ball joint
Half shaft
Brake Master Cylinder

The interior is nasty. The previous owners were smokers and ate tons of fast food, so there's ashes and spilled soda every where. I picked up all the major trash already but since the brakes are out, I can't really drive to a car wash to give it a good vacuuming. There's no rips or tears in the interior, just really dusty and ashy and dirty. A good cleaning by hand should do wonders.

Here are some pics. Sorry, I took them with my phone so the quality is bad.

Awesome car. I miss my old White '87 4dr LX-i.

Congrats on the $100 find

I might part this out if the guys on 3geez.com have any interest. I also want a white LX-i. Still not sure what to do with this car. =/ After I title it I'm gonna be out $334 between cost of plates, title and car itself.

Damn, $100? Good deal

Gonna try and replace the master cylinder this weekend and have my cousin help me bleed the brakes. And try to get an estimate on the rust repair. My GF needs a car so I might give it to her after it's back to a decent shape.

those cars are awesome. I hate that there isn't an aftermarket for the A20 motors. I had an 87 LX sedan, and i miss it all the time. even carbed, they still pick up pretty well for a DD

Someone on 3geez.com got an email from Bisimoto's engineering in regards to developing cams, cam gears and some other stuff I think for the A20. They just need a decent core to start with for the research.
