[Civic Accord Honda]

haha yeah that one of the 3g is from before i re-sized pics lol
and yeah 5speed legends are hard to find which is why i bought my legend even tho the side was caved in and the frame was twisted

Update:
removed mud flaps
fixed brush guard
pressure-washed my rims and fuel door area

Next:
fix hanging bumper (clips intact!)
fix hanging side trim (clips intact!)
possibly remove brush guard (torn up, hanging; probably after road trip)
fix brakes (right-front makes a constant, quiet grinding sound)
figure out what's missing from the intake
adjust headlight buckets (rub against fenders)
get $5 Apexi exhaust tip from junkyard

[charliekuney]

Well, the bumper no longer hangs, and I got the brakes checked: the pads are almost completely gone. :/

charlie i have a stock oem shift nob from my car i have it and have it there sitting collecting dust haha

[charliekuney]

^ Haha, I already got one. I'm actually looking for a Legend one, now.

Ooh, I found out yesterday after intensely cleaning 1/3 of one of my rims that the directionals were made by Enkei. Were the SE-i rims made by Enkei, too?

[Civic Accord Honda]

i know the sei we had in 04 had enkeis but i dont think the ones i have in the shed are

[charliekuney]

Surprise! But, don't fret: I'm just going to stalk the forums (meaning no heavy posting) for the time being, so no one has to worry.

[ShyBoyCA6]

Yeah, yeah. I know everyone missed me /sarcasm. Here is an interior and engine bay shot:




Some updates:

[ShyBoyCA6]

[Civic Accord Honda]

oh snap that interior is minty! and i see you got an armrest!

[charliekuney]

Sure did. Picked it up for $15 at the local yard. It was in an '89 LX-i sedan that was gutted to the bone, except the front seats and armrest. I'm surprised I'd never seen it before. Anyway, I'm still looking for a set of cupholders (not sure if the ones in the for sale section at the moment are legit) and a DX mirror cap. There are only four third-gens left at the yard, all are sedans, one is a silver '86 DX, one is a red '89 LX, one is a '89 white LX-i and one is a black '89 LX-i. None really have what I need. Both the green LX-i coupe and black SE-i sedan are gone. I think someone bought the coupe outright, and the sedan got flooded. Man, I wish I would have snagged that amp...

hey man thought u might want to know if u get some claybar with a little elbo grease that over spray on the passenger side door and fender will come right off

[charliekuney]

^ Really? I'm not sure what it really is, but you seem to know. The guy I bought it from said is was "rust-preventing wax."

[ShyBoyCA6]

i guess i would have to steal your car charlie and drop a k20 engine in it haha and nice stero

[cameron7710]

well by looking at the first pic and seeing the spray pattern then looking at the second and seeing how dark the trim on the door is i would say that someone painted the trim and did a shitty masking job and got over spray on the fender and door. plus what appears to be a little but of blue painters tape still on the first pic

[Civic Accord Honda]

if i ever come across my old dx mirror cap ill send it to ya, might find it in a couple days as im looking for some spark plug wires and breather filter

[charliekuney]

Uh, that tape is...holding the trim on. The trim is dark in that picture because it's wet.

if i ever come across my old dx mirror cap ill send it to ya

Remember, it has to be from a hatch or a coupe.
