Hi everyone! Thanks to those on Honda tech who turned me onto this forum...
For close to 5 years I have been looking all over for the cleanest 1st Gen Accord I could find....why you ask? Because my father had a 78' Accord when he and my mother got married and I've always had a picture of them with his Accord, and I've always wanted on.
I've had many classic cars over the years, but thks one is sentimental.
I finally came across this wonderful and completely stock 1980 Accord lx with only 72k original miles and I had to have it. So far she's got a few kinks to work out but is wonderful to drive. My plan is stay JDM and firstly get it clean enough to eat off, then I want to do fender mirrors, frenched high's, Weber upgrade (32/37 or maybe a 40 I have lying around) header back custom exhaust, wheel and tires, re-upholster the seats and rip off that terrible tint.
Here are a few pics I took after a light detail:
After driving around for a couple of days i realized the shuddering i was experiencing was nt from tierods as i originally assumed and which are also badly worn. After getting under the car a bit i noticed the passenger half shaft was clunkingand the boot was completely severed...
