Do I spy a 180SL? What's the story on that?



This pic is sex.

I am in contact with the company which is building these bodykits, called "StyleAuto". So if for someone of you money doesnt matter (because shipping costs a lot), I can arrange these bodykits...

A lot of things happened since last time:

The bodykit parts, got a fresh black paint and i mounted the front:

One week before coming to the U.S. (im now in New Jersey for a semester abroad for study) I wanted to bring the car to "Sepp", so he can take care of it during my stay in the U.S.

So this happened

Just look at that!!! TAKE A BREAK WHEN YOU ARE TIRED, OTHERWISE THIS (or even something more worse) HAPPENS!!! I was driving 90mph on the left track, when my eyes closed. When I woke up i was nearly crashing into the left road barrier. shocked by this i turned the steering to the right, too hard... so my car passed the the tree tracks of the road and was going to crash in to the right barrier... it was night and too dark so i turned the steering another time, so the car got totally out of control and crashed with the right back into the right barrier... It was a miracle that nothing more happened... I mean this is also too much for me, but however no ones life or health was harmed or nobody else was involved... The strength of collision was so hard that my rear bumper smashed and flew away...








So my car is now in the custody of "Sepp" and while i am here for study, he carries on the work...

current pictures of today... she is back from hospital







In the last picture you can see Sepp (new paint seems to be great)

Another thing: Does anyone know where to get the complete frame parts of the rear screen? We have the original rear screen, but we need the entire frame elements which come on the glue, when the screen is fitted...

Thanks for help!

Nice work and glad to see its being fixed properly!

[AccordB20A]

top work!!

[Tdurr]

This is amazing. I love how much you care for your car. How long are you in new jersey? And the work looks top notch for sure.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Dang, that must have been heart-breaking when you wrecked her.. I know I was when my last 3g got wrecked. Glad to see you got it fixed up though, it looks great.

[2oodoor]

Great news, and those body kits do look nice and sane.

[senna89]

Hey, thanks for your comments. I am here in New Jersey til Mid of May... I was just thinking, how to get some stuff here for the 3Geez of me and Sepp's... Do you guys have any idea? Should I go to junkyards? How to find them? Or do the Honda dealers have some stuff?

I am especially searching for:

-cupholders
-armrests
-metal door handels (for all four doors)
-wind/rain visors
-Honda OEM hood

And I have bought some months ago a digital gauge. But I need the fuel sensor and the ECU for it too... Just have the gauge... Anyone know how to get this?

Thanks!

[Tdurr]

Cupholders, armrest, visors, and door handles are all jy items. Theyou many be able to find someone on here who is selling them depending on the color you need.

Im not sure if the fixed headlights 3g hoods are thebsame tho so I cant answer that one.

[senna89]

I mean with hood something like this: EF9 Honda Access Car Cover | eBay

[Tdurr]

Ohhh okay. Are you looking for a oem accord cover?

Like Tdurr said, junkyards should be good for most of those items. If you cannot find them, I have one or two spare grey se-i armrests, I believe I have spare cupholders too. Only thing is shipping from me will be a bit more expensive because I am in Canada.
What brand of digital gauge did you buy? You will most likely need the sensors or controllers from the same manufacturer.

I mean with hood something like this: EF9 Honda Access Car Cover | eBay

Those are very hard to find. I bought one years ago, but the best place is on this forum or watch ebay.

[senna89]

Yes I'm actually looking for an OEM Accord cover...

Now thats the digital gauge I have






Unfortunately the seller cut all the wires. So i dont have the wires, i dont have even the relay (there should be something like that) and i dont have the fuel sensor. Because it is different from the normal one... I thought those accessory parts are in the U.S. more frequent than in Europe... :-(

[Hash_man_Se_i]

^^^ Unfortunately we never had that digital gauge cluster sold in the US or Canada. You will be better looking to some of our members in New Zealand for those parts.

[AccordB20A]

bloody useless wreckers that sell shit not knowing about the part they are selling! They should have removed the whole dash loom to find it connected to a control box in the dash. Did they give you any other parts to it? if not your gunna have fun getting it to work im sorry to say

[AccordB20A]

actually i know where the rest of it is. did you buy that off a guy in NZ? if so i have a mate that came along after him and got the rest. ill PM you his email address (Y)

[senna89]

Thanks "AccordB20A"!

Yes I bought it sometime ago on eBay from a guy in NZ. I thought, he will send all the parts, but only the gauge came. I asked him, whether he can send me the other parts too and he promised me to send them. But since that, he dont answer anymore on my emails... Maybe, because your friend got them

Anyway thanks for the contact. I wrote him an email. Hopefully, he sells the other parts...

You have a manual one, right? Is there any major difference between the automatic and the manual? Because I have a manual car...

[AccordB20A]

Just the lights that show you what gear its in for auto is the only difference

[senna89]

Thank you guys!

The project is almost done... Just a few things left, which I will do from time to time...

I made a couple of pics... Enjoy!
