A18A's 1989 Accord CA Thread
I'm making a new thread cause my other one went gay (here it is if you wish to view). Before continuing, I'll sum up that thread in a couple posts and then continue from there.
I have another Accord that I use as a daily driver, which means I can have a proper long term project car that I can take my time on & not rush it just cause I need to go somewhere the next day. YAY! Anyway, I'm not entirely sure on what I plan on doing to the car yet, other than a full de-rust of it and painting it another color. This build will probably be pretty slow, cause money says so. But I'll keep updating the thread cause I like documenting everything I do. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Now to the car.
Here she is when I first got her (back in 2008)

haha yeah i took those pics cause it looked weird how it just sat like that
I didn't get to do much today cause I had other things to do. I got the rest of the interior (that needed to be removed) out, everything I didn't pull out of there, has no reason to come out. Here's a couple more photos.

A mate also let me use this rust remover/converter stuff, which actually works yay. I managed to get one (of over 9000) rust spots mostly done. I'm trying to avoid grinding the rust away cause it looks untidy.

I pushed the car outside for the night so the rain will hopefully rinse it out. If I'm lucky, maybe someone will let me borrow their water blaster lol.
Re: A18A's 1989 Accord CA Thread

Re: A18A's 1989 Accord CA Thread

Re: A18A's 1989 Accord CA Thread

Re: A18A's 1989 Accord CA Thread
haha shit where did you find one of those?!!?!? anwyays less spam more work (Y)
Re: A18A's 1989 Accord CA Thread
I chopped it out of my NZ new shitter, I noticed the NZ new cars don't rust in that particular spot as bad as JDM ones do (Y)
I now have the car stripped to a satisfactory level (minus the rear suspension, tank & such) I pulled off the front sub frame & gave the engine bay a bit of a rinse. I can lift the front of the car up myself now, but it's still too heavy for just myself to move around.
