So what are you planning to do
That house looks familiar. Either you're from Palatka, FL, or from the Twilight Zone.
is it me or dose the nose look pointed down a bit just dosent sit straight you can def tell it was in a bad accident with all those replacement panels
the bumper lower bolts arent in causing the front bumper to sag. i have the same problem. everything else seems straight. i thought the same thing lol.
nice car dude. spose you should paint the front so it will look coool.
no its not just the front bumper its giving off a crappy photochop vibe were all in agreement it had to have been in a bad front end collision its def very possible the frame is bentOriginally Posted by AccordB20A
sweet...what happen to it tho?
1989 Honda Accord LX-i
B18c1 swap since 7/2011
175whp and 132tq
Redzone tuned
or like aaron pointed out the bumper has not been installed properly, ive seen that alot. other than that it looks good
well, the front end was in a collision hence the multicolored panels. the previous owner is one of my best friends so i know the history very well, i haven't gotten a chance to take the bumper off to see whats wrong but I will soon. I think Im gonna try that $50 paint job idea since it is a project car. I mean it's my DD but I also want to experiment.
on my list of things to do:
Fix that front bumper
$50 paint job
5spd swap
change filter, old gaskets, old lines, etc...
I plan to autocross it so the 5spd swap is mandatory. I'll most likely keep it stockish to stay in stock class.
and no, im not in Palatka. Im in Oviedo, FL.
Thanks for comments.
idk its prolly just an optical illusion my eyes sometimes play tricks on me lol
oh and at least he got the state right lol
Looks like a good project car. Geddy, if you look his fenders aren't exactly aligned with the rest of the body which gives you that illusion that the front is pointing down.

Yeah, the bumper is an easy fix. Those front bumper brackets have a lot of room to wiggle.
We have quite a few people popping up in Central FL now. We need to get a meet together.
Decent car rocknropes I am in the final stages of the $50 paintjob. Andbrother
Thanks Bank2me!
yeah, Im right in central florida, down the street from UCF. Once I get some time to check out the front bumper, i'll post some pics. it's hard finding time between work and school and stuff but it'll get done.
