In Scotland / UK the Aerodeck was imported between 1985 and 89 in came as ex (cab) or exi (injection) the saloon accord (4 door) came with fixed headlights and the Prelude came with pop up headlights . I have spotted only one or two pop up headlights on the saloon . These would be imports also I have also spotted one hatchback (3 door) with the same front end as the Aerodeck. All Uk cars are right-hand drive the same as Japan . Maybe Aerodecks have never been made in left-hand drive so all the peeps in North America will miss out as they seem to drive on the wrong side of the road.
Most of the countries that got the a-decks are lhd (every country in Europe except the UK and Ireland.Originally Posted by beckypumps

Well that blows my idea about lhd out the water, I wonder why it never made it to the USA? Anyone know which Honda plants actually made and assembled Aerodecks?
I think that when you're really interested, we could think something out. For less than 100$ it could be yours.
Today was sunny and the weather was beautiful. We got about -15 degrees Celsius out here and we decided to take some pics again, because the track was quite icy! I wish I had a 4wd car..

I think it was something about the 1st and 2nd gen hatchbacks doing good in the US, but not so good elsewhere. So for the 3rd gen they made hatches for America, and the Aerodeck for Europe/Japan. The US also got the coupe, which we didn't (not even Japan).
I'm liking the first shot and last two shots
here in NZ i have seen LHD coupes imported from japan, Also nz new edm style RHD hatches, JDM sedans and JDM aerodecks also a EDM aerodeck a20a4
I had no idea. So would a JDM come with a twin cam engine as standard? Not sure what the EDM type is ,
I really want that car. $100 for the car, $4,000 for shipping and processing. Not bad.I think that when you're really interested, we could think something out. For less than 100$ it could be yours.
$4000!!?? That's awful..
The old Aerodeck needs new rear wheel arches and the plate that sits between the rear lights should also be replaced.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to import a car to the USA and drive it on the roads here it had to meet the DOT standards. I wanted to import a Holden Ute SS from Austraila, but I was told you have to have 3 cars, 2 to use for safety, ie. crash tests, and 1 that can be conformed to meet DOT standards. The Ute's are like $40k so if this is correct I could get one and drive it here for $120k. But that's what I was told I didn't do research. So if that's incorrect, I would like to know what the correct procedure is.

oh those pics are awesome! i want snow drifting...
and thanks for the pics of the lights. is your bumper on the aerodeck metal? it almost looks like its shiny metal under that mounting thing
But the Aerodeck is practically the same as any other 3gee!? Only it's rear end is slightly different. The E (euro) markings don't work in the US, right? If so then the Aerodeck's rear lights may become a problem.
And for Hondamonster, no my bumps are just ordinary 86-87 bumps (86-89 in Europe).
And I've got a question for you 3geeers too. Do your cars interiors squeek or make unpleasant sounds too? The squeeking sounds drive me crazy!

I'd say import it and find a trashed out hatch with a title and a vin and you'd be golden, well unless you had an accident, then you couldn't recover the areodecks value.But the Aerodeck is practically the same as any other 3gee!?

My interior doesn't squeak, are you sure it's not coming from the outside?

Time to update again. I've got some new pics, because I got a new camera (Nikon D90), I'm still learning to use it though.
About a week ago:
Then 2 days ago we made a.. umm.. I really don't know how to call it in English.. But originally it was from a Kia Carnival. We bent and cut it a bit to fit and then connected it with the body.
At least I don't have to be afraid of ice lumps or speedbumps when the car gets lower:
And some pics from yesterday:
And some with my friend's Mitsubishi Pajero 2.5TD. By the way, the cars are the same length.:

such a beautiful car, love the skidplates!
Nothing has really changed much, I painted the fillered area on the front bumper matte black and the wiper arms also.
Today was a cool foggy weather, I also took some pics:

You should try the facelift look on your car. It would look astonishing.
awesome set of pics absolutle awesome
Last Friday the drivers side outer semiaxis/feed shaft grenade (I really don't know how it's in english, but dictionaries give these words. It's the rod that comes from the gearbox and makes the car go) broke down. We towed the car home and replaced the thing with a decent one from the other car.
As for the old Aerodeck, I'm probably taking it apart and scrapping the body.

outer semiaxis and feed shaft grenade = halfshaft, driveshaft and cv joint?
Google translator says that in Finnish it's the same as in Estonian - pooltelg.
