theres a 87 vigor on trademe (just like mine) but doesnt have that grill =/ and theres a accord on trademe with 1 of these grills.. maybe they swapped :P weird

Then you could have 88-89 Eyelid's, corners, grille ends with a 86-87 Grill!
i thought that too, but the ones on mine go straight down vertically, and the one a accord goes down on a angle, i might try get 1 of these little pieces off a 86 accord and see if it fitsQuote:

This is an interesting thread really. You're noticing all the little differences between the Vigor and Accord. Another one of those little tiny differences that Honda like to do to make things no-so-swappable.
It looks to me like not only is the grille different, but the headlight ends, and the hood as well in fact.
Should be a fun project... Looking forward to updates! :D
yeah to me it looks like the hood is completely different. i mean the angle of the USDM one is different than vigor. not so noticeable until you stare though.
http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1...d_vs_vigor.jpg
im 99.99999.999% sure the only difference in the hoods is the accord one has 2 holes in it for the H and the vigor doesnt
I think if you look closely where the grille meets up with that little piece that you're missing, you'll see that the angle and depth into which that piece is cut into the hood is different. It could just be the camera angles though. Pictures don't always tell the whole story.
yeah i noticed that too, my one looks a little rounder than that other one.. im gonna see if the 88-89 accord one fits on the hood... should be interesting
it might be the same hood, and the grille on the vigor just covers it. you know what i mean? cuz if you notice, the grill is taller on the vigor than on the accord. sooooo it seems if it would be the same hood, the grill would have to cover some of it and be a bit taller.
looks like the same hood to me :dunno:
well yeah anyways i just bought a honda stereo plug adapter thingy since silly me left my 1 n only plug in the old 3gee :(
WHY? https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93Quote:

yup, all that A/C stuff is comming out too, i think i might buy that F1 interior while im at it :)Quote:
damn od you striped it down to the frame...lol
so yeah today i bought 2 cans of paint, 2 cans of clear, 1 big-ish can of primer, 2 cans of crc, 2 cans of degreaser some oil and a oil filter :D
i started off by degreasing the valve cover, what a great job it done too :D then decided to wash the whole engine, and then i swapped in good battery cables @ battery, then done a oil change, what a bitch that was, couldnt get the filter loose at all so i just stabbed it and turned it with the screw driver :D and then i replaced the extra rear speaker that didnt work..
the camera flashed and brought out the worst of the engine bay, but it is much cleaner in person :D
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...baycleaned.jpg
oh yeah, i also took off that heat shield, the rust spots were annoying me too much :rant:
Good job! Now sand that heatshield and stick it back on
Clean and Sexy.:D
^^thanks :)
yup thats the plan, but the $2 shop didnt have any sand paper left :thumbdn: i refuse to pay $3 or so for 1 sheet of sand paperQuote:

thanks :) but i still have a list of things i wanna do:
- Replace faulty ball joint (still have to figure out which one needs replacing)
- Fix up the rear end, aligning the trunk & bumper
- Paint the fender
- Fix up the bumper
- Find that end piece for the Vigor grill
- Replace left mirror
- Fix the rust spots
- Complete the climate control conversion
- Might install bumper pole as I can't find the body filler stuff :(
and then i can start spending money (if any) on mods or what not :D first of them is of course a manual gearbox (which im already bidding on) :)
yeah sounds like a plan
Sounds good OD. So this is the car you are going to be driving when you receive your license?
thanks, yeah that is the plan, i still have to get the road code which i have to study up on if i wanna get my license O_O..
so yeah today, i examined the original bumper & blue bumpers together, and with some CRC, vice grips, zip ties, screw driver and a hammer, i swapped the bumper supports from the blue one to the white one and after a hour or 2 of bitching around with it, i got it to work, put it on the car, and NO warped parts :D thanks to the zip ties, but still, it needs some love
