Default Just Picked Up a Project Today!!

1998 Honda Accord Coupe V6. 190,000 miles.

Paid $1300 for it. Plans are to repaint it. Keep the same oem color. Return the front end to oem. I'm happy with the purchase. I will keep everyone updated if interested....

Sorry for the poor quality photos....

nice eBay grill and lip.


Have to get a couple dents fixed.







Let me know what you guys think

Nice pick-up FA SHO (Superbad...anyone? )

Accords hold their value really well when maintained. My dad just sold my mom's '96 Accord EX 4-cyl for $4,000 with just over 200K on it

Thanks guys. Yeah the foglights are pointed every which way. And i'm actually thinking about keeping that lip on there. The grill has the nice eBay "accord type r" badge.... so it has to go.

The only thing that is wrong with it is possibly an o2 sensor????? I'm not exactly sure. The girl i bought it from said she brought it to honda and they said it was the cat that needed to be replaced... But for some reason i dont think that sounds right but i guess i will find out. The car just starts kind of weak but runs good.

Kinda dissapointed on only 200 horses out of a 3.0 v6.

I got it for so cheap because it was a girl's car who worked for me and she was moving back to new york because she hated florida and she didn't know anyone and couldn't find someone to sell the car to. She finally got someone to offer her $1200 and she told me that and i thought she was kidding when she said that she was selling it for that much so i told her i'd give her $1300.

i'll will keep updating everyone on the progress.

It's a nice find, but I don't see why you need people's commentary. I would say it's your car and your money, but obviously you were craving some attention.

Either way, best of luck with the project, whatever you plan to do with it.
