Whats up guys -- i'm new to the site (obviously)

I just came up on a 1986 Accord LX. My neighbor was selling it for $300, so I went to go check it out, so I could get myself a daily driver. I take the car to get smogged and OH MY GOD... This thing is in horrible condition.

I won't get into all the things that are wrong with it, but it's alot.
Basically, after I explained to her everything that was wrong with the car, she handed me the papers and the keys and said "just take it, it's yours."

So, after finding this site through honda-tech.com, I looked into converting to fuel injection. I plan on getting this car back to stock, and making it reliable.

I'm heading down to the junkyards in Otay Mesa (right on the mexico border) tomorrow to pick up parts for the conversion. Hell, I might just end up buying an LXi motor.

sweet bro! another so-cal memeber! wOOt post pics of ur cars!

[DJ Skillz 187]

Here's some pics of the project accord, I know the pics suck, but it's all I have right now:




The only part of the fuel injection conversion I'm not looking forward to is pulling the dash.
Has anyone here done it? How difficult/time consuming is it?
Its a BITCH doing it on the VR4, but it has ALOT of wiring... hopefully the accord will be a little easier.
I plan on keeping this as a daily driver, but knowing me, i'll get the urge to start modding it...

Yeah... I don't how the hell the rust got that bad...

As far as the meet... if it's not too far from SD (hopefully not compton ), I'll try to make it. Gotta see if i'll be workin.
I might be in the vr4 though, until I can get the accord to stop smoking and leaking oil

That's good to know.

The whole interior needs rewiring anyway.
Hell, you can't roll down the windows without flipping this little red switch which turns the windshield wipers on at the same time... It's kinda embarrasing actually.

I've got quite a project ahead of me... I'm just gonna take it one thing at a time I guess.

Just got back from the junkyard...

I decided not to pick up parts for the fuel injection conversion until I have more time and money on my hands.
I did, however, pick up alot of exterior and interior parts to pretty it up at least a little bit.
I was really pissed... I found an '87 LX with PERFECT interior there, it must have just been brought there...
but it was 10 minutes before they closed, so I didn't have time to pull anything out.
I was going to pick up exhaust piping, since its leaking and has no muffler, but I forgot that the junkyards chop off the cat... so i'm pretty much screwed unless I buy it new or weld a cat on.
I'm at least going to pick up a muffer next time i'm there. That'll bolt up to the leaky exhaust and I guess i'll just have a shop weld any holes and a new cat on.

And as far as the rust... I'm just going to ghetto bondo it and spray the car.
ALL the paint is super fucked up, so it needs some kind of paint until I decide to get it to macco.

Next, I gotta figure out exactly where the massive oil leak is coming from.

[1ajs]

nice find shame about the rust.

the gasket on the cover for the head could be leaking comon on these cars or the head gasket is leaking oil...

what is it auto or manual?
