[Ayeobe]

wow that thing is so mint!!! <3 it and i also agree steelies on 3gees is <3!

and the 86-87 grille is so damn sexy ^_^

Thanks man. I love the steelies look. And yeah, the 86/87 grille kicks ass. Sooo smooth.

that's cool how the entrance to those 2nd story buildings work. never seen that before

Thats Montreal, man. Its pretymuch everywhere around here, and those houses are prety new as far as i can tell. Ill try parking on a street with a ton of older ones some time.



Yeah, the car is prety minty. Just needs a bumper up front, and a headlight bucket alignment (ehhh..) and then the courtesy lights in the front doors dont work. If all that's fixed, its pretymuch bran new.

EDIT:
i have a few desctop backgrounds now.

POSTWHOREING LOLZ.

Just kidding ... heres a new pic! Infront of Le Stade Olympic. woo.



And check out the clouds?! No wonder im not outside anymore eh? Its thundering. so i took her home.

[Mellexx]

Yay pics, I like the last two posted!

[carotman]

i'm taking the car out next week.... be prepared for a photoshoot

[Ayeobe]

Awesome! Should be sweet. We should talk about a location.

UPDATE ...on the pics. Not on the car... its still the same =/

[Ayeobe]

Okay, tiny update.. and a question. I went to two honda dealers, and nither of them had Honda keys for our old cars. They didnt have ither the Valet or the master keys, and i realy would love to have them for this minty fresh accord.. So, im wondering if theres any honda dealerships who still have them? Or, where can i get some?

In other news, i took a few shots at like 3:30am again, near the olympic stadium.

[carotman]

What kind of key do you want?

They sell these plastic keys on Ebay and I know Honda de Sigi had Ilco Plastic Keys like 3 years ago.

They're not labeled "HONDA" tough...

[Ayeobe]

Yeah, i want the "HONDA" ones. My 87 has the Valet key, too, but i dont have a plastic covered one with HONDA on it for ither accord. It upsets me, a little. They dont seem to exsist anymore, though.

[carotman]

I have one here that I can spare.

[charliekuney]

Bellevue Honda here in Washington still does. Same with Renton Honda.

[Ayeobe]

Thats prety far from here. Do they have Valet keys? Maybe ill try the Florida ones, though..

New pics! I havnt been able to work on taking the bumper off the 87 cause its been boxed in with ...stuff, so its still not perfect ... but there was an awesome sunset i barely was able to catch!

It seems the next thing im gona have to deal with is my headlight bucket. I think its still a little messed up, but i dont know what's going on in there. I dont realy have
much knolege about how this is suposed to work, as i never delt with it on the 87, so im not sure where to start. Heres pics of the problem:





As far as i can tell, its actually the arm thats not working right. I cant see or feel the headlight catching on anything.

[Ayeobe]

I left my house today with about 159 530km, turned right, hopped on the highway and ended up on a Ferrie into Burlington. Now im at 159 888km. This means im at 2080km since i bought it, on July 10th.

On with the pictures, however!

Waiting for the Ferrie on the way to Burlington


On the Ferrie

The spray of the sea ...lake, sorry.

[Mellexx]

woah love the third and fourth pictures the last one is pretty epic too!

[Ayeobe]

Thanks, man.

The next pics will likely be of me troubleshooting the coolant issue. self-taught mechanic friend of mine says it could be the headgasket, cause theres coolant missing, but no leaks. That's gona suck sooo bad.

[Civic Accord Honda]

looks great and missed your post about the bumper swap, yes just unbolt 2 bolts on each side behind the bumper lights , unscerw side scerws slide off, slide preface bumper on install same way as instalion, they are a direct swap i did it to my 88

[Ayeobe]

It needs the metal bumper, and a sand down/paint for the 87's bumper heh..

[Civic Accord Honda]

just use the 87s metal part? and just sand and paint it satin black!

[Ayeobe]

LOL, i was gona paint it body color, including the black part. But, the 87 is gone now, so i cant use the metal part. Im gona go to pull a part in october and... pull a part. lol. Im gona be there a while, taking the trim from an 87, to match the rear bumper and front bumper.. and anything else that's cool. Ill post stuff up for people here, too, if i find something sweet.

that pic is FTW!1

[kct]

Nice. Wish my own could look that good.

[Ayeobe]

Mine isnt perfect, you should see the list of things to improove lol.

Body work:
"Fix the over 9000 tiny little rust spots" (i think theres like 5 or 6)
Some-how pull the dents out of the rear doors
re-paint the front right fender
get a new bumper, and a pre-facelift bumper cover
Get the stupid FR headlight bucket to sit right and work right...
To keep with the pre-facelift look, im gona swap out all the side trim aswell.
Also, who thinks the rear bumper lip looks stupid, when theres no front bumper lip? I stare at it sometimes like "Why would you do that?" lol.

Matenence:
All liquids flush/change, and replace a few hoses
FR upper balljoint
RL Upper controll arm
Alignment
Not sure where to put "Paint valve cover"

Thats pretymuch it. To acheive perfection my car must have all that done to it. Then, to make me happy it must be manual lol. That might be a while, though, as im prety sure the AT works fine.

Thanks for the comments guys! i was prety happy to have the opertuenity to take such awesome pictures for you gents!

[bryan6732]

And when you finally finished your list, your new list will be ready
Keeps you off the street!

[Ayeobe]

Lol. This car is addicting. It's sitting out front, and im wondering where i could drive to. Not for any reason, just cause i wana drive it. its nuts. Sadly i just realised because the driveway was re-paved, i cant park in it n do work. Not sure if ill be able to use it to do work at all.. I hope so. the job that makes the biggest mess is the coolant flush, and thats basically water and ..whatever coolant is. so, it shouldnt stain right? Anyway, i cant wait to get started.. all the body trim and bumpers will have to wait a while, cause im gona concentrate on the mechanicals, and keep the body work for maybe during the winter when i have a better job, and more cash, and alot less want to drive the car.

[bryan6732]

Not sure about the coolant, cause there's also some lubricating fluid in it (and anti freeze).
Something lubricating will be oil I guess... But would be nice if anyone could confirm this since I'm not 100% sure :P
