wow. that is a really clean looking car. a plunger should take that dent out of the quarter. you may need to get a dent puller and some body hammers to work out the dent under the bumper there.

I am really starting to like older style honda's. I used to not like them but they are pretty damn nice IMO, especially yours. Just fix the dent and thats one sharp looking car. I also just learned to drive stick on my 3g, with 140K it appears to have the same clutch, and no slipping, love the honda drivetrain!

Oh man, you said a mouth full. Same here. My 88 Accord DX is in fresh out of the factory condition. I just have to finish windown and door trim, and every single part on that honda accord will look like it came straight off of the assembly line...minus the 2 right hubbies and the lil ding one the right front bumper :mad:

That is one nice, clean car dude!

I almost bought one of those at a garage sale years ago. It had a broken timing belt and the guy had the engine parts all over the place. He actually CUT the hoses to the A/C compressor to get it out of the way. I guess I just didn't have the automotive experience that I now have. Now I would have jumped on that $75 car as a "project."

Anyway, the 1g Accords basically looked like bigger Civics hatchbacks. A friend's sister had one. It had an "automatic" transmission that you had to shift from 1st to 2nd manually.

Honda automobiles have pretty much always been built like tanks. I can't speak about the newer ones.

seriously, you could start showing that car. it's 20 years old already and i know that at the car show we had where i work they had a "Stock Import" class. only 3 cars showed up and 2 were perfectly restored Triumphs, but i would bet that thing could definitly be competative in local shows. or just take it to a cruise night. you'd be surprised how many people can appreciate old hondas.
