Well, here is my take on the accord. Its low, its rusty, and I drive 80km a day.

nothing fancy, but i like it.

holly fuck rust!!!!!!! gd!
other then the rust and the muffler tip.... looks good i like the markers and eyelids blacked out

[Ichiban]

Time for a new body. How low is it? Also, why the name "only 8v"?

edit: Fuck, dorkaccord beat me to it!

[labeledsk8r]

Thanks for the comments gents,

first off, the wheels are BBS RA, 15x6.

lol, the motor mount is super ghetto, i chopped the small end off of another dog bone, welded it on and mashed a poly VW rabbit control arm bushing I had lying around. A better one is in the works.

Rust, yes, i have a little. Im in canada, we get 8 months of winter a year. The city loves to use salt, pea gravel, and sand to destroy all. I thinks it adds to the character.

To explain, Im a VW guy. This is my winter car. The name only8v comes from my affinity for VW 8v engines.

1 of my many projects.....

[labeledsk8r]

and damn i want to pick up those rims hahaha except sprayed in gloss black

[2ndGenGuy]

Sweet cars man. The Accord is definitely a bit rusty, but I agree it's good character. Wheels look good on it too. It's almost a rat-rod style Honda. Pretty cool. :)

[only8v]

Ill make a dope mount in the next few days, then ill fill you in. The one i have is a super ghetto temp mod. :thumbdn:

another one of the projects (my girls car)....

[only8v]

Next mod for the accord will be....... Rust hood!!! ;)

and yes... rat style, hoodride.... thats what im going for. A little euro old school, mixed with honda dope school.

If you guys want some unriced wheels, check out the mk1 mk2 VW scene. they really fit these cars.

[mastaofdisasta]

[GraniteLXI]

Thanks, she loves it.... and it makes me jealous ;)

[only8v]

lol, thats the good side...:rofl:

[2ndGenGuy]

Man you VW guys really know how to clean up those engine bays. Makes me jealous! EuroTuner magazine always shows some beautiful interiors too.

[GraniteLXI]

Yeah, I loved my Scirocco, it was my 1st car and I had a shitty job, plus it was riddled with problems so I ended up selling it about 6 months after I got it...I plan on buying another down the road tho as a 2nd project car when my 3gee is all done.

you should just buy my g60 corrado, that should solve you vw issue.:)

[Hazwan]

Nice cars you got there. I like the wheels on the 3g.

[only8v]

thanks :)

[MessyHonda]

fix the rust

[GraniteLXI]

You know, that actually was my intent was to find a corrado.....I passed up a major deal I found a G60 for $3000 that had rims, custom paint, lowered, manual tranny.... and it only had 120K...But at the time i wasn't anywhere near ready. I know the corrado well because its the "sister-car" of the Scirocco

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Sweet. another Calgary member... your accord is super rusty... but now you guys can see why I went to BC for my new one!. Wheels look great on it though.

And I've seen your girls car driving down 24st before... its damn nice, the stance is perfect.

Welcome to the forum too>

[only8v]

fix the rust

serious? i can see the road through the trunk... and im pretty sure that you could unlock the car through the holes in the doors. :rofl:


nice to see another calgarian.... thanks for the comments.

[A18A]

its not rust, its weight reduction :)

[Toneloc5145]

It actually doesn't look that bad, even with the rust, in the pictures. I'm sure it looks worse in person though. Demz some tight VDubs.

[only8v]

the rust is insane... people see it and just have to pull off chunks of rust.:gun:

[Hash_man_Se_i]

hahah brutal... rims make the car look good though... I would love a set of BBS wheels for my ride.

[MessyHonda]

just make sure your strut towers are not covered in rust..because we had a member here whos strut tower came apart and hit his hood.

[New3rdGenOwner]

Crazy amount of rust, i live in Ontario but ive yet to see an Accord with that much rust lol

Are you planning on taking it to a body shop?

heck no, if anything, ill add to it. you have to understand, this body is done. there is no saving it. if there was a possibility of fixing it, I would.

[only8v]

Strange, there seems to be no paint on my hood.......:wtf:
