new hatch owner. gulf coast ms. 86 lxi

Jason here from south Mississippi. Vancleave, ms to be exact. I am 23. Just recently picked up a 1986 Honda Accord LX-i with minor front end damage as my project for this summer.

My plans for the car so far is to bring it back to peak mechanical running condition and make it look nice and handle well. speed isn't my greatest concern as of now, but will be addressed in the distant future. All I care about is reliability and saving gas with small things done here and there to make it just that much better.
I like this website and find it very useful.

a little history on my prior automotive experience.
I have owned a little bit of a variety of vehicles.
