Hi!

I'm new to this board. 3 weeks ago I've got myself a '89 EDM sedan. Previous owner was going to salvage the car but after i checked condition i just couldn't allow this. There is less rust then on mid-90 Hondas over here and interior looked nice and fresh even before i cleaned it.

So the baby has 250k km on the clock and these are partly checkable. Last 10 years car spent in Latvia being driven only occasionally since the owner was a long distance truck driver.

Extras include ABS (4wALB to be correct :) ), power windows, sunroof, antenna and heated mirrors plus original leather steering wheel. Plus some Honda 14" alloys, and unknown body kit.

After picking up the car I've replace alternator (old one's stator was dead), all front lower arm bushes and some more suspension parts plus installed cutted front springs from 97 Integra. Some more work on suspension is still needed.

A nice pic by Canon 10D with 18-55 etc bla bla bla:

ok, that was nokia :D

I've picked these 15x7 +25 King wheels with a plan of polishing lips and painting center part gold, my guess is their oldschool look will be good on the ca5:

that's about it at the moment. Plans are to sort out suspension problems this week and get a MOT and get wheels ready on the next week, then i'll be ready for a photo shoot by my buddy. He is a pro photographer and a Honda fan also. With his shooting skills my car might look as good as his lude did :D

WElcome! Very nice car you've got there. And it even has the complete OEM Honda bodykit with foglights still there. Sweet! There's usually one of the bodykit pieces missing on the cars that are left today.
Post more pics!
Looks like it's a 2.0i-16 ? Do you have some proof of those heated mirrors? As I recall heated mirrors were never an option from honda.
Those rims will look good on it, but I would go easy on the gold part when the car is white.

oh sweet Jesus, I want that damn front bumper worse than bad. ...no seriously, I'd take out a personal loan to buy that off you.

Welcome to the board man. Please please please keep that damn thing nice and clean and do it right.

...heated mirrors plus original leather steering wheel...

I hate USDM. Why do we always get the short end of the stick? Are American cars more-than-shitty in other countries? Seriously.

Much much much happened for the last weeks.

First, I sorted out all the stuff and passed MOT without problems.
Second, I finally had a photo shoot done. This took place at a local Honda dealer. Guys were really thrilled by it's condition and looks. Let's pictures speak:

Some bits about the car:
'89 Accord 2.0 Lxi in pearl white
optional genuine Honda bodykit with boot spoiler
original Honda 14" alloy wheels
power windows
power mirrors
power sunroof
power antenna
original leather steering wheel
4 wheel ALB (ABS)

'89-99 first owner in France, 0-195'000 km
'99-09 second owner in Latvia, 195'000-250'000 km

And third, really bad news... I had to sell the car :( :(
At least I made sure that the new owner will love it and don't let it end it's life in a scrap yard.

That's the end of my love story with CA5 :(
