New member here, I have a 2001 accord ex coupe. I bought about oh 8 months ago for 1,000 in Orlando, and have been restoring it back to it's original condition. So far I into it for about 4947, and that includes the buying the car. Wonderful thing about getting a car with high miles, it is always a gamble weather or not the previous owner did any of the high mileage maintenance, they did not. So here is the fun so far.

Repaired rear end damage when I got it and replaced the rear bumper cover.

New transmission, the old one hung in there for about 6 months before completely taking a ****.

New struts all the way around.

High mileage maintenance. water pump timing belt, hoses belts, flushed the PS pump.

Just recently new upper control arms.

Just today finished upgrading all of the dash, console, AC controller with LED's replacing the awesome incandescent bulbs.

Currently finishing body work so I can paint it in about a month.

With all of this done it should last another 300k miles or so.

Oh BTW it has 291k miles on it and runs like brand new. On a side not the timing belt that was replaced was the original, that was a ticking time-bomb.

So it is now nearly a new car.
