Yeah, that be my "new" ride. Its rusted (cause of 21 years of Quebec winters), but it runs nice (In Grand Honda Tradition) and is quite a nice ride!

Under-Hood pics will follow when i clean under there. Its prety nasty.

Car is a 1987 EX-i, and from what i can tell the first (of 3, including myself) owner had it pretty pimping.. fully changed sterio. He left the sub wires there, but no power going to em - fuse is in the drivers side door slot. You can see the after market sterio there too, from like the 1990s.. Cassette jack goes to my MP3/CD player.

Enjoy?!

What do you have planned for the car

[A18A]

that cars seen better days, but hey, by the looks of it, i take it it's being used for what it was made for

[Ayeobe]

Well, my guess is it hasnt been maintained for a couple years prolly, besides oil changes.

Found out today my rack 'n' pinion is leaking, so's the oil pan. Gunna have to replace bolth, most likely. Aswell as, im sure you guys know, the bearings arent in great shape up front.

I'd like the car in black, with the black interior. The fabric part on the door would be white.
Black rims, wether steelies or spokes, the spoke rims would have chrome around the rim. Not sure what spoke layout i would get.

That, though, will wait. Gotta fix the rust, clean the whole car, and do belts/fix leaks.
Damn rack'n'Pinion...

damn if that car did not have rust it would look minty

[micky]

welocome¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
nice car

[bullard123]

Welcome to the forum! That rust only looks like surface rust. Just take some medium to fine grit sandpaper to it and spray it down with rust converter and you'll be set for a while

[Demon1024]

your car looks like mine with four doors lovin the grrr piggy combo. just got done watching that series. take care of the rust now! the longer it goes the worse it'll get

[Ayeobe]

Lol Zim was sick. Those things were from a girl i know in NY, she bought em waaay before i got a car lol.

Thanks for the tips, guys!

[carotman]

Canadian Heh?

Where are you located? I might have some parts that might fit your car well.

bullard, this is not surface rust but the car seems to be well preserved for it's age (and being in Canada). The rear fenders will need a replacement arch but that's about it. The rest should be fine with what bullard said

[2oodoor]

Nice car with plenty of potential ! I see Honda's cant keep their wheel covers on around there, looking at the civic across the street.

[Ayeobe]

Im in North-East Montreal. Also, i took the caps off myself, never realy liked hubcaps.. Im planning on getting new rims and tires for the summer. Prolly 14"s? Im rollin on the 13" ones atm. Oh, how much do those H logos go for the center of the rim? I found a set of Civic wheels at a flee market for 90$ (all 4) and they had the H logo's on em. Guy wouldnt sell me just the logos, so im wonderin where i can pick some up. I like the look they give.

Also, as for getting rims bigger then 13", im sure all you guys have done it..lol, but what effect do you think it has on them alredy not-so-great bearings? Also, are they tapered, or must one replace the whole damned hub to get new bearings?

[carotman]

Nice,

If you want, you can visit our local Accord Club at www.clubaccordquebec.com. I'm on the Montreal SHouth Shore

Any Junkyard should carry old Civic Wheels. I think "Nord-Sud" should have them. If not, I know Chassel Has them. It's a Honda only junkyard.

Last time I went there, they had an 87 LX sitting in the yard. You might be able to get some parts from it. It looked in bad shape tough.

Which bearings are shot? the front or the rear?

[Ayeobe]

Front bearings, as far as i know. It dosnt realy show though, so i doubt if its a big issue at the moment. Though wether or not they're tapered makes a diffrence, 'cause if they are im gunna take em out and service them.

South shore eh? we should meet somewhere. Soon as i get cash for gas, that is..heh.

[AccordB20A]

Shes rusted pretty hard. Whats ur plans for it fix the rust.. or not

[Ayeobe]

Im going to need to cut and weld. Its the only way to do it right... Thankfully i like welding lol.
Im planning on going to work in a shop, owned by someone i know, so itll be good.

The rust on the back fenders is liquid. Its rather uncool. Not sure how long its been going on for, but its prety finished under the paint... im gunna redo it asap.

Oh, btw, check out what the first owner left behind:


I was quite happy when i saw that shit, lol.

[Civic Accord Honda]

cool what brand are tey?

[Ayeobe]

Dunno what brand they are. Aparently the brand is in the back sometimes, so i dont know when ill find out, lol.

[Ayeobe]

Update. Nothing huge, but i gave the car an out and inside clean. theres still durt in the carpets inside but the outside is prety damn clean.





Infront of a wendys in Chateauxgay. Yesss, we went to the gay castle. rofl..
