Hi, I just bought an 86 accord lx. I had a mechanic check it out and he says it is good.
I came to this forum searching for ways on how to make this car look better. It has some rusts but not holes. I can invest on a buying body kit and do a new paint job but I don't want to spend my money on it if I can't install a new engine (in case the engine dies) or it will be too expensive to drop a new engine in.
I searched the vin and found out that it is built in japan. What does this mean and what options do I have with respect to engine swaps? thanks.
Also, I don't know what engine I have, can anyone tell me where to look under the hood on what type of engine I have. thanks again.
