My brother got a free '86 Honda Accord a few months ago. The reason it was free is because it needs a lot of work. My other brother, who just left the country for 2 years, says, "For the honda, you need a new axle/bearing in front, a new seal on the crank case, and fix the antifreeze leak that may be in the same spot. That should be a good start." I need to know how easy this is to do at home, or maybe in a neighbor's garage/farm shop, how much it will cost, and how to do it. Can anyone help?
