    Talking look at my "new" Accord...

    Well I purchased a 1988 Accord DX hatch today for $50. Just needs the alternator to be replaced and she'll be ready to be used daily. I am also going to be experimenting with body work on her i.e. shaved moldings, shaved antenna, rust fix. Then I have Dual SK Racing Carbs I am going to throw on it. This also allows me to do my swap in my LXi :super:

    Definitely what you would call a "fix 'er upper" Not a bad deal. How many miles are on it, and what sort of shape are the engine, tranny, and other mechanicals in?

    Not a bad deal is the tranny and engine are good. The car looks alot better then some cars I've seen for sale that are no where near what there actually worth.
