I just passed 29 years owning this 86 Accord LXi. Been the best car I have ever owned but the Illinois winters are taking their toll. Probably the last year I will be able to drive it since it is due for restoration. It has 210,000 plus on it with an automatic.
Looks pretty good. Are you planning a restoration?

That needs restoring? Man, you should see mine, lol
I wish I could but I am not equipped nor have the knowledge to do a good job. I think the best I will be able to do is sell it just above scrap when the time or right person that wants to restore a Honda comes along. I have tried to keep it up the best I could over the years. Engine runs great, transmission, not so. Even though it was serviced regularly it has gotten to the point it needs overhauling as I no longer use reverse or 4th gear in it. I had a 83 VT750 I used to ride in the summers so this car mostly sat in the garage and never got sun faded.Originally Posted by Dr_Snooz
That's kinda the problem with Hondas. Because parts are so difficult to source, only Jay Leno is really equipped to restore one.
