I just recently purchased my 4th vehicle for 900 bucks.
She's a 1986 Accord 3 Door Hatchback 5 Speed LXi.
So far it is my favorite car.
It's missing a corner light but it doesn't matter, the real question. Can anyone point me towards a third brake light assembly, as well as give
me some ideas on what to do to this puppy. Needs tons of TLC and anything not crazy expensive I can do. Only rust is right by the window.
It already has matching paint but needs a new bumper. The strips across the lights need to be replaced as well.
Really looking at restoring her and rolling to shows with my buddy who drives a 81 Corolla Wagon that's almost already done.
Help please!

Is the third brake lite missing? I had to repair mine, 3 doors show up once in awhile at scrap yards but not too often, thats the only source for that part.

Music to my ears! Restore her and keep her stock with maybe a few tasteful mods. Post pics of your car when you get a chance.

Welcome!

Thank you guys! I'll get pictures up soon. I need to find the whole third brake light assembly. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks a bunch.

Have to agree, always so nice to see a car restored to it's former glory where possible. So satisfying to see your hard work pay off and of course the field trips to the wreckers! I feel like a kid at Christmas when i find some good parts. My last gf actually told me i was a big kid with too many broken toys, i told her she had too many handbags. That's probably why she's my ex!
