Is your valve cover vent really sitting open like that or is it plugged?

Love the color :)

Haha the vent is open! I have a plug just not sure if it's good to put it on...(probably will throw a breather filter on). Will post interior pics later! I still need to finish my headliner. Otherwise, it's all black oem and minty as well.

I think I remember this ride. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this used to be 86ccord's, right? I'm glad it went to an owner that will stick around the boards. Truly a beautiful machine.

Yeah I remember it too. Glad its back in the comunity! Don't plug the vent, put a breather on it. It can cause all kinds of problems if you plug it.

Correction!..technically 86accord did all the work, i recently got her off a local guy in the Atlanta area that owned it. He needed cash and i needed a nice daily so everything worked out well. Glad she's with me now at a good home.

Look very clean, but I don't think that is a facelift bumper. That's the 86-87, and hatch bumper. Great car either way!

Here is a couple quick interior shots...it's about 95% all black converted. I still need to finish the headliner, ebrake, visors and couple door pillar pieces.

Another set of wheels I wanted throw on but ended up selling them...I kind of like the black and silver "classic look" more than the gold (although these did have a nice lip :naughty:).

I believe it's a DX because of the 2.0l carb'd motor, But....she has power everything so someone please correct me if I'm wrong! Hehe still a noob with these classics. (I'm thinking the power mirrors and antenna were options at the time?)

If it has everything power then its an LX.

I believe the heater/AC controls of the DX model didn't have the button setup that yours has. It looks like an LX to me.

03-04-2012, 11:27 AM
yeah, i did all the body work and paint on it my self. shaved wind shield washers, shaved emblems, dupont suzuka blue metallic, dupont Night hawk black pearl, with 4 layers of dupont clear coat. its something about painting cars in general that makes me want to do it. yeah sure its a pain in the ass, but i enjoy it. I'm currently working on a truck i just bought. :D
