1988 HondaAccord LX

Figured I'd post my car since I really never have..

Keep in my it looked better before my idiot friend wrecked the front end..

Anyway here she is--

I took off the fender and beat it to make it look like that (it looked so bad before I did..)

And I painted over it and the bumper to remove the black and what not (I think seattle silver matched the best)

And here is today..

Sorry the pictures at the end came out bad (camera phone was used to take em all)

FL plate eh? I hope to get my ass down there soon, with a 3g.

Lookin good ... i assume your friend never even SAW your keys ever again? heh

Ya because since I have so much damage in the front (and parts down here are hard to come by for some reason in a JY), I haven't even bothered to get the paint redone or anything (it has scratches out the ass on the hood/roof, and trunk lids..) Even a 300$ paint job would be worth it (assuming the body looked like it used to <.<)

if you cant find a fender at the jy might want to pm Vanilla Sky he is in florida and i believe he is parting a couple 3gees out

nice looking car tho other then the dent, i rocked my 3gee for about 6 months+ with its bashed in fender lol

If you lived closer (or would pay for shipping :)), I'd sell you my front-right fender, headlight stuff, and the two blinker areas...you get my point. I'd sell you the things you need! I just found out that my coupe is Seattle Silver, too.

How much do you think shipping would be to 32563, Florida? lol

I have no idea. But, those were the only front parts that weren't affected in the crash.

The left blinker on the bumper is intact, also.

-----

If I can fit the fender, headlight, and blinkers into a 30x12x24 inch box, USPS will ship it for less than $20 with eight-day shipping. The box needs to fix the height and length of the fender, and the height of the headlight. So, it could be more or less.

Y59M or w/e aka "Misty Beige", but Seattle Silver matches perfect :o

Mine is YR94M, Seattle Silver. I swear, they're the same color, just a different name because Misty Beige was only available from '86-'88 and Seattle Silver was only available in '89, and they look identical.

Product price +$20 shipping. Want me to start pulling them off? You can pay when it's in mid-shipment, I guess.

Alrighty updating pictures of my car soon, prob. tommorow..

Included will be -

-New rims I purchased (13in. rims lol).
-New 88-89' Integra front lip spoiler (repainted black) (I actually got one woo!)
-New cassette holder (looks great even tho I have no cassettes or cassette player)


Post Accident body (It's been over a year)-

-New front bumper (painted to match)
-New fender (same color as car)
-New headlight cover
-New Autopal housings w/ Luminics Ultra White Krypton bulbs
-New side markers (Perfect condition from the JY)
-ALL black trim = repainted/clearcoated

Coming soon -

-15% tint (should of been done already but weather sucks)
-Full clearcoat cutting/buffering (Hopefully, car looks like poo)


In other news also, apparantly my A/C was converted to R-134 back in the day, so I recharged it and voila, my A/C works!

And, apparantly the wire going to the left horn, also controls the cruise control.. (Wire was unplugged so neither the horn or Cruise worked till I noticed it taking the bumper off, then I plugged it in and both work lol.)

Alright here we go.

My new and improved 1988 Honda Accord LX, 247,xxx miles, automatic, carburated, A20A1.

And an FYI, I spray painted the ENTIRE front bumper - Seattle Silver, and Satin Black (and some clearcoat), looks pretty good eh?

- OEM fogs
- matching right tail light

My car good enough to be a wallpaper?

Sweet.


It'll be much nicer with the tint I think.

But my son will appreciate it in a couple of months when he isn't spontaneously combusting sitting the car.

I'll get some more pictures as I progress with the body.

it looks like its smiling

Are you sure your car is Seattle Silver? That color wasn't available until 1989. Misty Beige, maybe?

My color is misty beige, but after time it fades some and becomes seattle silver 100%.


So voila, I have either color, but they only sell seattle silver so I chose that.

that looks very nice bro! amazing what some elbow grease and a little bit of money will do with theses cars aye

cars looking good tho!

Ya I'm going to start working on the paint and stuff on the exterior next, then work on the suspension, then maybe try for some performance. Maybe a 5 speed swap and some engine bay overhaul and cleaning. Dunno tho, car is almost to 250,000 miles and hopefully it'll last

Woah that cleaned up nicely man! Looking forward to seeing more on it :thumbup:

1) His information says Blade Silver, and 2) that's an '86 DX: Not only was SSM not available until '89, but it was only available on the LX/LX-i.
