    My Accord Sorry about the dark post more later

    This is my 89 honda accord I have put alot of work into it, But needs alot more. If you follow this post I will update frequently.

    I still need a new bumper i found a kit im going to throw onto it its the blitz kit, So dont think my paint job is chipping , I didnt do the trunk either im going to replace it with a carbon fiber one.

    Rocking the two diffrent kind of rims stock and a free pair i got lol i love it. I will be replacing these too with some Akuma N20 racing rims there HOT.

    I have vip parking in front of everyone, Just incase someone tries to steal my car.Oh also this is my $15 dollar paint job. Yes only $15 dollars well in any case i buffed the hood the sides of the car look like the hood too once its buffed. I might write a tutorial on the $15 dollar paint job if anyone shows some kind of intrest.


    Its Stock nothing special here maybe ill throw on a header and bore the cylinders a bit. Also thinking about doing a wire tuck and painting some parts of the engine. I will also move the intake to the lower fender for now its working, I need to get my hands on some aluminum tubing. Then I will tig weld it together keeping in mind the beauty of a tig bead.


    how do you remove the pipe in between the air intake and breather? Its like welded together i was going to dremel it off but i think that could be a bad idea

    yeah, uh, for the record, no such thing as a carbon fiber trunk lid for these cars. if you want one, be prepared to shell out the $$$ for a custom job. and the breather pipe between intake and breather on valve cover is bolted to the im somehow, but i forgot. figure it out and just take it off by unscrewing it. but other than that, looks like a decent project to get some work in on.

    Get a video capture card for your computer, then plug your VCR into that and record it into the computer. Then you can edit, add subtitles and voiceovers, and make your video even more interesting. Then post it on YouTube or some other video sharing website... That would be pretty cool!

    Re: My Accord Sorry about the dark post more later

    here is the proto type im shooting for i drew it up and am working on some of the pieces. Right now ill just show the drawing the stripes down the middle are just to show depth, and the one along the side too. If there are any other ideas toss them in, I always like ideas.



    Maybe someone would be so nice to photo chop this, I know it takes time but i would like to see what this thing looks like powder blue with pearl... Im going to try to chop it in gimp and post that also. Im still debating powder blue w/ pearl or metalic, im sure pearl will be better im going to spray it myself. I want to try to do color cordinating on this one white and powder blue interior oo so nice, Maybe the mirror tint baby blue or something havent got that far. But what ever I do its always with a keen eye i have like ocd or something

    Looks like a unique project. Where'd you get the headlights, an old 5er? Reminds me of my E34 525 headlights. Should be pretty cool once it's done.
