Well, I just bought and 87 Hatch (carbed, auto....)

It's in quite decent condition for it's age and the region I live. It's been rustproofed every year and you can tell. There's some surface rust on the rocker panels and a bit in the rear wheel well. It's going to be taken care of and I'll have a nice hatch.

The Color is B35M.

I guess I'll have to re-learn my carb skills since this one is going to remain stock for now.

Yup, Another hatch lives.

It's going to be a backup daily driver. I have an 94 civic as a DD and my girlfriend has a 92 Dodge Colt.

I didn't really chose the car. The car chose me lol. My dad works at the local Honda dealer and a customer came to buy a 2007 Accord. He is the 1st owner of this hatch Accord which is now 20 years old! My dad asked me if I wanted it since hatchies are rare here and it's hard to get one in decent condition.

We don't have anything else than a DX hatch in Canada (Labeled Accord "S"). No option for EFI or power windows. The fact that it's auto doesn't bother me that much. I'll concentrate in keeping the body in good condition and see where it needs some improvement.

It needs new seats and a new right side axle. I'll buy a new axle for my sedan and install the used one on the hatch hehe. I already have Aerodeck corners for it and an armrest/center console.

I don't know if I'll install a Weber carb but it's pretty tempting. If the stock carb starts to give me some trouble, I'll seriously think about it.
