Hey there. Today i decided to write a build thread of my car. Bought it at the end of november 2022. I was student who wanted oldschool japan car as cheap as possible. And when i fount that Accord it was love at first sight. In advance sorry for my bad english, im from Russia). Snow Queen is the translated name of the color car is painted in. At least on russian it sounds cool. Photos in this post is photos from sale announcement. It was more than two years ago so i done some work with and will write about it on next posts. Unforchenatley i deleted some of the photos, but some remained

New wheels
When i bought car it came with german R15 7j+38 Rial Mesh wheels. But i wanted something R15 3-pieces from Japan. I like JDM style. Problem that most jdm wheels are R14 4x114. But after more than 1 yaer of serching i found this. R15 4x100 SSR Reverse Mesh. Front 7.5j+32. Rear 8j+26. It costs about half of whole car)

Wing is not ultra rare. Its original Honda. Made of hard rubber. Was optional in Europe. Unfortunately i havent a good photo of label on bottom of it. If you need a good photo, PM me and i will send you later

Body kit is way more interesting. Thats what i found on the inner side of side skirt. Also i found some pictires and one video of Accords with similar body kits. But they not 100% match with mine. So i think mine is replica

Headlights
I like yellow high beam reflectors style (i dont know what this style is called). Something like this:

But i thought this looks cool only on japanese cars of 70s. Until i found this photo:

So i decided to do seimething similar. I bought 2 sets of headlights and 1 set of reflectors:

Also i painted reflectors mask in black. In my opinion, original silver color doesnt match with color of my car. Heres the result:

I havent installed them on the car yet. If something will goes wrong with yellow reflectors i can replace whole headlights units anytime

Two strange photos from my phone. This instrument cluster came from jdm Prelude 2gen. I bought it just for 30$. Wiring not connected. I just placed it into original visor. Maybe i will try to convert wiring later
