Alrightly I got a 88' Honda Accord LXi-i recently ($200), got it in bad condition, and I'm trying to bring it back to life. I already took out four garbage _barrels_ full of trash and vacuumed the whole car (engine, truck, seats, carpet). The car came to me stalling and hard to start (ECU said ETC; fixing now) and on-top of that needed starting fluid every cold-start.
I'm currently working on removing the decals on the windows and attempting to find a new hood and passenger fender along with a new driver-side window regulator and radio (came without one).
The car needs some serious TLC and I'm not a mechanic but I'm willing to do my hardest to restore this car to operating form.
Browsing the forum recently, before membership I noticed these mods/repairs I wish to do:
- Replace ETC Sensor
- Repair the headlight motors
- Find & install new radio
- Remove (the little that's left [of]) the side molding & fill in
- Re-ground the engine
- Fix the body work (fender, hood, and re-attach the front bumper)
- Cold Air-Intake
- Find something to replace the are where the out-dated tape holder is
- New spark-plug wires (more power right??)
- New 17" rims and tires
- Install Strut Bar
If you have any ideas or know any links where I can learn how to do some of these things please share them with me via reply-post/email/IM/PM.
- and I need to make the RPM gauge stop being so wobbly!!!!
Not really an introduction but but hey, my name is David Branco, and I may be new to your forum and repairing cars, but I _WILL_ search the forum before I ask questions.
