I resently bought Accord LXi auto 88 on ebay for $380 for my girl. Ended up spending another $600 for trasportation gas and parts. so the car now stands at $1014. My girl loves it she thinks it have nice fliping eyes.

lil rough but what do you expect for a cheap car some satin black rattle can and you will be murdered out
About the car it was in a very bad running condition. The injectors were leaking and a lot of gas was coming out of the injector’s rail, and boy when we cranked the car I thought it was going to catch a fire. The guy who was selling the car didn't care much about it so when it went bad he decided to sell it. I thought it was going to be a easy fix, WOW "jumping jack and his mother" every time I was installing a new injectors o- ring still was leaking gas bad. Finally after going to O-Reilly auto parts I found a o-ring the brown ones for gas and they had only 3 of those and with one black one I manage to fix the car with a small leak to drive it. Another thing the CV boot was torn and it was clicking really bad. For some time I drove the car I thought it was going to fall apart. The worst was the breaks. NO what so ever !!!!!!!the car was in North Carolina and I’m down in New Orleans 700ml. Driving this bitch was an ADVENTURE OOOOOO YES it took me 21 hours by bus and 2o hours driving the car back AND IT MADE IT
What part of New Orleans are you in? I lived there for 5 years and moved to PA in June of last year. I could have helped you out with some repairs but now I am gone.

1988/9 Prelude wheels... I think?
At least it made it home. Good luck fixing it up, seems like it's seen better days.
nope, stock 88-89 3G lxi wheels. those are original to that car (or at least that model car)

Thanks everyone for the message.
now for the car, the first thing ws to be cleaned. Boy was that dirty or wath? I'm asking myself how can people life like that, so dirty and nasty
Rims are original, front tires sucks, but i have some nissan rims i'll put on for the moment it will be with the originals
I took out the seats and i found $6 in change.one pencil, paper who knows what
For sure they are addicting i hava accord 86 lx since 1997
You can see the "motel 8" cleaning tool on the dash
how much for the cars i paid for this one $380?
you can see mine original accord lx 86 carb i have it since '97
the carper got so much stain i had to wash it with two three chemicals
the stereo was the best working equipment in the car pioneer head and speakers. it took me 700 ml from north carolina to louisiana to learn how it works some os the options hehehehe
on my way back after 20 hours of agony driving with 50/55 mph the car started to die on me when i press the gas over 50 mph. i was 20 ml from new orleans and realy didn't mater b/c i was almost home.
no visible rust on the floor which is good so far
after wahsing the carpet so many times still have a stains.any idea how to clean it?
should be clean now i guess, smells good dogh

much much better!
well if you can't get it clean enough, I would just consider getting a new one from ebay or some online car carpet store. I think you can get them for about $100. If it's clean enough for you now, that's even better. Get yourself a good set of floor mats, and you'll be golden.
Glad to see you being so thorough on cleaning this up.
...anyone got a fender for this guy?

Looks like a good project. I used to live on the west bank.

Nice work cleaning up the mess. I can't understand how some people managed to get their car that dirty!
Here are the mud gards plastic one but they do the job for now.
some other photos
the clock even is working!!!! How cool is that......
stereo not bad,actually this the most cool thing and it says honda
today i was trying to deal with the engine problem right after 2500 rpm the car starts to die and i noticed gas smell and leak. WOOOOWWWW
the injector seal was gone bad. i drove the car with this after market seal for 700ml. made it home and broke. What a good thing to happen.

when to to honda dealer to see if they have the green o- ring seals. They didn't. The guy gave me same black one and said that he have been driving his integra 91 for 5 year with this black ones and never had seen something like mine. Mine is from Auto Zone parts
this o-ring cost $4.65 man things are expensive now a days. $4.65 divided by $380(price of car) = 1.22% of total value
here is mine original honda flat green o-ring, next to mine imitation green o-ring and the busted aftermarket black o-ring. MMMMaaaaaaNNNNNN
