Figured I'd post a few pics of the coupe since no ones really seen it since I picked it up last November or December. I used a half gallon of Simple green to get all the old grease and oil off the engine bay and frame and then ran it to the car wash for a quick clean up. Its been keeping me busy between changing very seal and gasket to stop leaks (currently leak free), replacing both axles and 2 motor mounts, I also replaced the rack, radius rod arm bushings, upper ball joints, and tie rod ends. Still needs alot of work but with all I have going its a slow process

looks pretty nice. i'm diggin that polished valve cover. are you going to paint that front lip? anyway, black accords are just sexy. nice hood, i still want to get mine. dont know when that'll be. hopefully in the some time in the summer, i should be able to cover the costs of one with one paycheck, if it works out like last summer. i think for the most part i just want to replace my dented hood with a nice finished hood instead of dealing with paint and crap.

Great Looking Vinny, You could paint the Bumper Light housing Black (from inside teh housin, not the clear plastic) at the time you take out the amber part.
I painted the bumper light housins black on mine and the look amazin

Must just be you. 5th accord I've owned and every engine has tilted like that at about a 15 degree angle. I just replaced a few motor mounts as well, maybe yours is sitting wrong :ugh:

Care to elaborate on that? :sadwave:

I sold the hatch to another member back in December. He posted a few times after he bought it but havent heard from him since.

Its from the first group buy via Tightwhite, then moonscryer and now me. Cost me lunch, a replacement hood and some cash.

Enough with the lip. Its a 10 minute job and I'll get around to extending and painting when I get some free time :sad2: Jimbo, when your car runs come talk to me :D

I like the coupe much more than I did the hatch. lots more work to come but with everything I've had going since October I'm lucky to have gotten it this far.

Thats the sedan. best car we've ever owned. It was for sale but I never went to serious into selling it. Its basically mechanically new as fas as engine/trans/suspension/cooling. I just cant seem to let go of something thats never let me down in almost 2 years
