    Re: 3G JDM Accord - an extremly rare find in SA

    apparently there is some rust but none on the structural parts

    Cant stop counting the days till I see her !!!

    The funniest thing about this car is I paid $450 and to get a flat bed to deliver it 1700km costs me $400 lol

    But still I reckon will get my money worth from her even if I need to scrap it, ludes normally go for about $3000 for average condition, so all I need is get her to an acceptable condition.

    Spoke to 3GCVC( Alex ) and I am very tempted to go with a manual especially since I have read his builds on pp.com and ofcoarse AccordB20A lol

    Re: 3G JDM Accord - an extremly rare find in SA

    Yip,I must say I was surprised, they went to collect the car on car carrier truck and I told the guy a few times that the car was not running next thing I get a call saying he is at the guys place and they dont fetch cars not running so I am like bullshit !!!, I told you and sent your wife a link to the car in the classifieds where it said that the car was not running

    Anyways the guy who sold it to me (Paul) and the driver pushed the car up the flatbed because there was no tow hitch on the truck and this car also had flat tyres

    I must say that paul has been very helpful with this whole deal, as for the towing company you are idiots !!!

    awaiting delivery on Thursday

    Gonna take some pics

    Got the CAR !!!

    Well finally it has arrived and its been hectic getting it just before I left work a server crashed and my boss was implying that I must stay there but he could see my mind was somewhere else lol

    I never thought the car would be in this kind of condition, I suppose it is more exciting to make it running now

    So here are the pics and plenty of them

    I went to fetch the driver of the truck to follow me and all I could see was my accord, my heart was racing all I wanted is to play with my new project lol

    here it is on the truck




    Well after moving the other 2 cars off the truck it was time for the accord, first off brakes were locked and we pushed it all the way down and into my carport FML!!!

    and while it was going down the dude mounts the pavement as it rolled so fast, but all was ok

    So here is the engine pics






    The rest was in the boot with a bonus b20b head lol
