84 Accord

[Lil Mike]

just bought my first car its a 1984 Honda Accord 5 speed 1.8l 3bbl about a few weeks ago. i got the car for $460 but some guy jumped over the hood and i got an estimate for $300 and im making him pay. in the trunk i found a rebuild carb, water pump, alternator, fuel filters, hatch struts, fuel pump, 3 sets of wires and a set of rims and tires. The car has a brand new clutch, wheel bearing, e-brake cable, both lower control arms, and im putting in a new wheel hub tomorrow. all the work has been done by me or by the help of others. the interior is completely gutted, there is no dash, carpet or anything just metal. pretty big sized holes. ill get some more pictures tomorrow. these are old pictures. there are currently patches in the floor from previous owner.


i do have the front grille

hmm. Not to shabby. Looks like it has a little rust that needs fixin, but otherwise nice! :)

Oh yeah. Is that a food can for the tail pipe?

[2ndGenGuy]

That is a signature tailpipe right there! You know you can get all that sound insulation off the floorboards with some dry ice! A few people on here have done it.

[A18A]

hahaha your exhaust tip ftw lol

that cars pretty rusty :O

[Civic Accord Honda]

the rust makes me saad :(
glad to see ur fixing her up tho :D

i miss my 2G

signature tailpipe eh? Maybe I should put one one my hatch. :idea: Should add about 50 HP. :rice: :kekeke:

[MessyHonda]

i need a tipe like that....haha...maybe il make my car sound like some one ate some bad chilly

[carotman]

Pop Rivet galore!!!!

[snoopyloopy]

mmmm, very nice tailie you got there. and i see the cancer will soon be entering advanced stages, so that sucks.

[Lil Mike]

i heard about the dry ice but i don't know where i would find it. thanks everyone :cheers:

[2ndGenGuy]

Grocery store would work. Baskin Robbins sells it too. Any place that makes ice cream cakes will usually use dry ice to transport it. :)

[mbc]

LilMike,

Congrats on your 2GEE purchase. You'll remember this car for the rest of your life. Treat it well, it's your freedom for the moment.

Fix the rust holes so you dont die from CO2, CO, or NOX, or HC's

[Ichiban]

My son, you need to buy a MIG welder.

http://3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51210

[NotFast]

Yes you will enjoy it. I've owned a 85 hatch and a 84 sedan, and i miss the sedan the most.

[Lil Mike]

i got a nice welder at school that i use. im not the best but i can say im not the worst either :P on Monday ill get some pics of the patches i did on it.

[Ichiban]

Always remember that the metal must be absolutely clean and free of rust. Honda actually has this basecoat that looks like metal, but is actually still grey paint. When it's shiny, you can weld. Also, with all the undercoat on these cars, expect fire. Having a wire brush handy is a must (to wipe it off when it goes up) and having a CO2 fire extinguisher nearby isn't a bad idea.

[vipspiffy]

i heard about the dry ice but i don't know where i would find it. thanks everyone :cheers:

you can try this too

[redaztec]

Congrats, like everyone else has said you'll remember this car for a long time! There's something special about that first car, especially when you put in a lot of work to fix it up.

[Lil Mike]

sorry for the realllly really late update. these pics are quite old.

my welds look really bad in these pics, and they are covered in fiberglass resin. first time ive ever welded sheet metal. i promise ill get some more pics of the near complete floor.

[Civic Accord Honda]

cool

[2ndGenGuy]

Looks like you're progressing well. Get that rust knocked out! Can't wait to see it done.

[Lil Mike]

just finished my driver side floor. the rust went all the way up the wheel well. ill get pictures tommorow. then i start on the passenger :D

[vipspiffy]

odd looking welds. is that flux cored?

[Lil Mike]

yes when i was welding the tower i didn't set the heat high enough

[Ichiban]

I was gonna say, if you bring up the heat your bead will flow out, and penetrate and look better. I've welded up a honda or two!

[2ndGenGuy]

I've welded up a honda or two!

+1 I can vouch for that.

[Lil Mike]

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f302/HavocV69/Honda%20Accord/DSCF0047.jpg?t=1198106552

lots of frame is missing and the brake line broke, too bad when i fix the line i wont be able to bleed the brakes, probably end up breaking the bleeder screw. time for prelude discs :)

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f302/HavocV69/Honda%20Accord/DSCF0068.jpg?t=1198106688

[Ichiban]

Since you're at school and looks like you have your back seat out, cut the brake line off inside the cab, flare it and add a union. Then run that out to your bracket and hose. Also, just replace your rear cylinders. Chances are, they're toast, and they're cheap. Pack your bleed screws and behind the flare nut on lines with anti-seize. Just don't get it in fluid affected areas, as it's petroleum based.

[Lil Mike]

alright sorry for the late update guys i got the floor complete and seam sealed it and sprayed the whole floor with rocker guard. i put the dash back in with my new head unit i got for Christmas. i got it fired up but there is a leak on the carb and none of the accessory items work so ill have to look over my wiring tomorrow. tomorrow hopefully i will fix the brake lines look over the wiring and put the carpet back in. i will get pictures tomorrow of the floor before it gets covered. I finnaly got to try out gas when i was welding and i dont think i can go back its so much cleaner,easier, and harder to burn through.

the carb is leaking from where the red is circled it obviously only leaks when the engine is on its coming from the screw or something anyone have any idea why?

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f302/HavocV69/Honda%20Accord/Untitled-2.jpg

[SZfiftyfour]

Float level screw? Looks like its turned in too far. Or it could be a broken o-ring.

[2ndGenGuy]

Uhh... don't know much about those, but I was gonna say, is there an o-ring under it? Or some kind of gasket you could replace around it?

[Hazwan]

Uhh... don't know much about those, but I was gonna say, is there an o-ring under it? Or some kind of gasket you could replace around it?

There is an o-ring or two under that screw, at least on my 1g carb. I know because mine used to leak there.

[Lil Mike]

i didnt have time to look into it ill take a peak tomorrow

last time your going to see the floor :wave:

[2ndGenGuy]

Man, gotta give you mad props for putting all that work into that car. Nice job with the rust removal. Looks like you did the trick keeping it from coming back again! :thumbup:

Thanks for posting updates too! Always really fun to see!

[Lil Mike]

thanks man sorry for the crappy pics the lighting was terrible, i still have to replace or fix the brake lines, frame, then onto body work.

[redaztec]

Keep up the good work - it's looking good!

[Lil Mike]

alright ill have to post some of the pictures tomorrow, i finished the rear drums with new lines, wheel cylinders, shoes and hardware. i also got the carpet in today everything is going together smoothly. my driver seat was so messed up, the frame inside the old seat i guess broke and it would stab you and had huge rips in it. atleast i found a few bucks in the seat :). so instead of using that crappy worn out stock seat i will using a 1992 rx-7 seat in it, that my teacher found in a dumpster and gave it too me. the seat is in amazing condition. i made a seat frame got that done and it feels really nice in the car. so hopefully tomorrow the interior will be completely in.

[offthahook]

Good work on the floorpan. Did you use any certain kind of undercoating on it or just the standard aeresol type? I think you def. slowed down or eliminated the rust return. Keep us updated.

[Lil Mike]

i used this stuff called rockergaurd with a shutz gun.

the seat is sooo comfortable, also the carpet is really clean its just the camera that made them look rusty color :(

[2ndGenGuy]

Man sweet! Nice work getting it all back together! Looks like a completely different car! That seat looks almost stock. RX-7 seat you say? Nice work. You drive it around yet?

[Hazwan]

Nice! Love the orange letters on the hatches. And the seat too.

[Civic Accord Honda]

looks great man!!

[Lil Mike]

You drive it around yet?

no i havent got to be able to drive it around yet since there is a 240sx blocking me from getting out, ill have to get him to move. also i have a high idle but i just need to adjust the throttle cable. i am pretty sure the seat is from a rx-7 since it had on the back of the seat it said 1992 rx-7. thanks guys. the windows where etched and had welding splatter in them as you can see in one of the pictures so i polished the windows and surprisingly it came out really nice.

Aah. My welding teacher told me he's seen windows shatter out from splatter. When I was welding the roof rack on my Bronco II (with the huge curved side windows) he suggested I cover it with cardboard. Seemed to do the trick. Sounds like you didn't have that problem though...

I've ruined a few windows from welding spatter, it seems to just dig right into the glass and stay there. Grinding dust will do it too.

i guess i was really lucky because my windows came out really good. i scrapped them with a metal scrapper that was sharp and it removed all the metal bits then i polished the window using metal polish and they look almost new agian.

[GraniteLXI]

Damn, love the work you've done on your 2gee, and I absolutely love the interior, so clean :cheers:

[Lil Mike]

oh man i def need to make these fit in my car. i got them at the junkyard. got first dibs on the car it was sweet. no rips or tears, the seats look better in person.

Very nice man! Those seats look good online, if they're better in person, they must look great! Are those 2g or 3g Prelude seats? I'm anxious to see how they'll look in the 2g Accord!

they are 3g seats but i will defiantly make them fit in my car

[Hazwan]

I'll say this again..

lude seats FTW!!

[Lil Mike]

thats exactly what i said when i saw them :D

[Hazwan]

They are the most comfortable and very supportive for the price IMO. Not to mention they are everywhere.

I got mine from JDM lude and it came with JDM chewing gum wrapper with Japanese wording on it in the back pocket. Mad tyte JDM yo! :lol:

Thats awesome! I want JDM chewing gum! I've got some JDM shipping packages and paperwork from some stuff I bought off eBay. Its pretty sweet too! But not as cool as finding some JDM gum wrapper that some JDM dude got his gum from! Mad JDM! :kekeke:

Sweet work dude. I saw the popsicle stick thing on the teacher's desk and was like "WTF is this kid talking about? Copper? Is that smoke in the picture from the sticky icky cuz this dude is high?" Then, I saw the copper car...

[2ndGenGuy]

[Lil Mike]

im getting pretty far on the car, im just doing body work so really no need for pictures, but someone punched or threw somthing at my windsheild and it is now cracked and i have no clue what to do and if they are hard to find.

New ones aren't too expensive to have installed. You can DIY with a junkyard windshield, but unless you're really good with that glue, you may get leaks. Call around some local shops, usually about $140 in my experience... I'm sure someone can get one for your car.

Probably not a DIY project unless you really have skills. $250 to replace if the mobile guys do it is my guess. Make sure it doesn't leak after they're done!

[Lil Mike]

Yea I don't have the skill for that. I am going to get a profesional, I'm just trying to get a good price.

[Civic Accord Honda]

fix the broken photobucket links :D and post some progress :)

[Lil Mike]

well, my car has been locked up all summer and i finally got to see it this week after my 2gee depression. i grabbed the extra valve cover from school and painted it up nice :) its not the exact red i was looking for but it will do.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f302/HavocV69/Honda%20Accord/IMG_0173.jpg

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f302/HavocV69/Honda%20Accord/IMG_0238.jpg

edit: haha i just realised after going through so many 2gee threads that i have painted my valve cover the same as others :(

[2ndGenGuy]

LOL it looks good man. Yeah that's the same color I did mine. But I think 84Accord repainted his a goldish orange. Actually that red is the exact red that mine is... I take it you pulled that from an ES engine? Or did that somehow get switched onto your motor before hand? The EZ engines usually came with that stamped valve cover.

[Lil Mike]

i pulled it from a es in the junk yard, wish it was still there i would of been taking so many more parts from it, and ive never seen another 2gee in the junk yard again :(

[Civic Accord Honda]

pics of it installed now kthx :D

[84Accord]

oh and anyone that has a 1.8l does your 2g have a cat? mines doesnt, makes it sound nice

i do have a cat a magnaflow one. i was thinking of removing it but the exhaust shop wouldnt do it

[Lil Mike]

pics of it installed now kthx :D

when i finish my Weber adapter plate i will install it :)

[haridev]

hie.... well getting parts, mainly the correct parts seem to be an issue these days. i suspect its just gonna get worse as days go by. i too plan to keep a few 1gees for the rainy days to come.....yea, good call going webber...its the way to go....regards, dev

omg an update? what is this? well i went back a lot of steps and hopefully im going to take some steps forward, story is i did some shitty work when i put the interior back in and it wasnt cutting it for me so i ript it back out and did it up proper.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f302/HavocV69/Honda%20Accord/IMG_0309.jpg

this one i cant put the bracket on that holds in the center console since there is no where for the screw to go since it rusted away.

Nice work, and steering wheel!

[2ndGenGuy]

Man that rustproofing stuff looks good. What did you use? Same stuff as before? You're really tempting me to do the same thing while my interior is out... My floorpan isn't really rusty, but yeah can't hurt to do some preventative maintenance!

[Civic Accord Honda]

awesome work! and that steering wheel is going to look awesome installed!

John, the first stuff i used originally was rockerguard and i sprayed it on with a shutz gun this time around i just used flat black rust paint and painted it on with a brush, it actually came out good surprisingly how crappy it went on. it takes about an hour or so do paint it but it takes days to try completely.

and thanks for the other comments :)

[Lil Mike]

oh my an update, lets just say i haven't gotten much work done in the past months, but i've been trying to get to town on it this past week.

Man that car is gonna look sweet dropped down on those wheels! They look like they've got just the perfect offset! I can't wait to see a dropped 2gee hatch! Nobody has done it yet!! :) :) Looks like you're making good progress on the work. Keep it up!

so what color u gona paint it?

[Lil Mike]

well my first idea was to paint it black but that means i need perfffect body work, but i have decided to go with a silver/grey in the same range of original or maybe with a 2 tone silver/grey top half and black at the trim line down.

dark grey would look nice

I rented a Pontiac G8 this weekend. It was a really cool color. Kinda along the lines of what you're thinking. It was a DARK charcoal with a nice metal flake to it, almost black. You ought to look up the paint color, or try to get a sample of it and see what you think. I think it would look really cool on your car.

i change my mind very often so right at the end i decided to go with a white.

[2ndGenGuy]

Oh SHIT! It looks good man!! You've got it home now even! Those wheels do look pretty mean on there man! Congrats on making some serious progress!!! :D That stance looks mean! Should look super bitchen slammed down! What size and offset are those wheels? And what size tires are you running?

[Lil Mike]

so since its at home im doing some work on it now, ive done the rear drums. i got the drums from the jy but they are pretty much brand new. i put longer studs in them and painted the drum a semi gloss. with the front i did pads and rotors, rebuilt the calipers (they really didnt need to be rebuilt).

im looking into lowering :p secret....

right now i have just been putting on the leftovers like the grill emblems, and some trim. but shit its looking like a 2gee now :D

[Lil Mike]

long time no update, driven the car 3000km so far no problems, have a header otw, and some carbs. i had one of my buddys help rebuild the transmission since the input shaft bearing was on its way out, so i did a complete overhaul of the tranny, the place i ordered the bearings off of didnt have the EZ listed so i just hoped that the ES2 was the same and it was.

while the transmission was out i noticed i could poke my finger through the oil pan so i bought a new one for 50 bucks for the ES2 and it fit my EZ engine sweeeeet.

right now im working on a gauge set for the center console. ill post pictures up in a few minutes.

edit: nvm phone died.

[Hazwan]

my fucking god that is so fresh now man!! didnt think white could look so good on one of theses.. exhuast sounds good too ^_^

[2ndGenGuy]

I was looking through my JDM catalog, and they show a 2gee in it with a 1600 motor, which I bet is identical to yours. It's rated at 94hp @ 5800RPM and 98lb-ft of torque at 3500RPM. I wonder if it's actually the same motor or not. But I wouldn't be surprised, have you ever found any Canadian catalogs for the Accord that show the actual specs?

[85SE-i]

She's lookin good man. I love the 2 gees in white. I also like the black bumpers, it makes it look more sinister. It sounds really good too. It sounds exactly like my old 84. The more I think about it, the more I miss that car.

[MessyHonda]

i see header in the front seat

[LxAcc510]

Nardi ftw. Nice 2g =)
