whow. I go to school in Chicago, on the south side though. check out chicagolandaccordclub.com if you haven't already, there may be people on there who might want to help you fix it up. 3rd gens are everywhere in Chi, especially on the north side of the city, and 70% are in the condition you described yours in. Good luck getting good money for it.

what school are you going to? uic?

man, that's in pretty good condition. it's got a few imperfections, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. does that say 75,671 or 175,671? could the sag in the headliner be from water? could there be a problem with the tranny that's keeping it from getting up to speed?

a new taillight, and new moldings for the passeneger side and maybe a rear bumper and the car would look pretty good (by new i mean from the junkyard). I can't really tell, but the damage on the door looks pretty workable, the moldings make it look alot worse. I bet if you wanted to, you could take off the door panel on the inside and pop most of that dent out, or at least give it a try.
My passenger door has a big dent in it, and my passenger fender was messed up, but after I got a new fender and a new piece of molding on the passenger door, the car looks 10X better. The door is still dented, but its not really noticable unless you pay attention. I have pics of all of this on my cardomain page (click the sig pic).

Oh, and if you do hold onto it, you would be suprized at how much more you will like the car once it looks good and runs better. I wanted to get rid of mine, and when I started to fix it up to sell it, I re-fell in love with it.

its has 175,671 and the sag could be from the water, since the sunroof does leak sometimes. as far as something being wrong with the tranny... well i dont know.

in my old accord (back in '03) i had a dent similar to this... and i had a friend with a size 14 shoe push out the door... it worked quite well. unfortunately i only have pics of my that car once it was crashed (you can find those pics if you look for my first post on this board).

ok guys, i finally got around to trying to check the timing on saturday... but my friend ended up breaking the distributor vacuum timing advance (the thing that sits on top of the distributor). so sunday i was going to go to a junkyard to pick the piece up... but all the junkyards seemed to have been closed . so i was forced to buy a new one from autozone for $50 ... if i did not get the piece, my dad was going to take my mr2 to work!!!

anyhow, i got the new piece on, but then another problem came up... i broke the cap... so i figured i may aswell get both the cap & rotor. after figuring out why i kept on stripping bolts with the cap... i was finally able to check the timing... which was off. finally when we were done i got in the car with no expectation of change.... I WAS WRONG!!!! it felt just like my old accord !!!! so the getting up to speed problem is fixed.

ps - did you guys know that the car has enough power to make the wheels chirp in second gear (after already peeling out, and gunning first gear)?

Well..considering I have 205/50/15 and a weak ass stock clutch, I can't. I can outbreak an MR2 with my accord so I figure my tires are alot better than his. =)

Good deal, I thought the timing was off the way you said how it was acting.
