    Hello and Happy New Year.

    Hi, Papillonkeeper (Max) just purchased a Honda Accord Areodeck EXi Auto in red! Was looking for a car for a run about as my daily car was going to be taken of the road and supercharged, that said I am so happy with my Honda that I am now going to keep it get rid of my (Ford st 500) and get this like mint!
    It is a 1989 model have every bit of paper work from original purchase all bills for every bit of work and FSH got 92k miles been lowered aftermarket 15" wheels SS exhaust along with body work that I would describe as B+ very small bit of work to bring up to A+ so going to have it put in a paint shop and sorted early Jan 2011.
    Any one point me in the right direction to get a FULL LEATHER INTERIOR that would be a good start, also interseted in engine modifications, so any adive would be good and glad to be a member of this site, many thanks and any advise help send them my way Regards Max

    For the leather interior: There are certain high-end models of the aerodeck that came with leather interiors. If you search for aerodeck there will be pictures and information.

    Hello,
    Where are you from?
    In Germany there are some full leather Aerodecks left.
    I like to buy a second Aerodeck for spare parts, but don't need the interior.

    Re: Hello and Happy New Year.

    The leather interiors consist of leather seats (obviously) and door panels in the front and rear with leather inserts. Any leather seats you find will be completely destroyed, but the panels will be in perfect shape. Get the panels and then have your seats redone in full leather by a local shop. You'll probably end up with a better quality interior that way as I suspect only the seat faces got leather at the factory.

    And welcome from California!

    I'm not buying until late summer, i think.
    Have my eye on the german Aerodeck marked, this one is with leather and not to expensive:
    http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/sh...l?id=134734577
    ow, "Alle Bilder zeigen (12)" means, show all pictures.
    Picking up a car wil cost me about 4 to 600 euro extra, depending on the distance.
    Germany killed a few 100 Aerodecks with a tax refund (cash for clunkers) last year. So not so many left.
    Agree with Dr. Snooz, most leather seats are looking far from fresh, the driver's seat in particular.
    This german car did 245000 km, thats a lot of sitting.
    Did you look into the differences on left and rightside drive?
    The seatbelt system is not the same on the left and right seat.
