So I found this mad tyte USDM 1978 Accord in the wrecking yard today. It's that cool, bright red with all black interior that Honda just loved putting in the Accords.
Well turns out the all-black interior looks MINT! So of course, I asked how much it would cost to get the whole thing. $30 and a 6 pack of PBR tall-boys later, I was out pulling parts!
Now the problem is that the black dashboard is cracked up pretty bad. I'm debating going to the trouble of pulling it out. It looks great other than the cracks. Hell the thing even had the original radio in it, and I'm going to try to retrofit the 100+mph speedometer into my car.
I figure since the dash is screwed anyways, I might give it a go at repairing it the same way Hazwan did his mad JDM dash. Just lookin' for some opinions before I go pulling that sucker out. I do need to replace my heater core anyways, since my BRAND NEW one seems to be leaking....
Anywho here's some pics, aside from being dirty, the interior looks great! The body is rusted out, someone attempted a B-series swap in it, and mangled the engine bay... So I'm pretty much taking all the remaining good parts off of it...
This car was pretty well taken care of, aside from the paint. I even got ALL four OEM floormats! And they're in great shape too!!!! And I got those taillights. Not a bad deal for $30. I still need to get those mudflaps as well...
