Default What would you do ?

Some of you may recall that I mentioned my wife's boss said he had a couple of Accord parts cars that I could have parts from. Talked to him yesterday and one is an '89 with alloy wheels but no engine or trans, hit hard in the front but very nice from the firewall back. My stepson has an '88 LX needing some parts so that's a no brainer.

#2 is a white '91 EX 5 speed 4 Dr. hit in the front but very repairable with little if any rust. They have taken some parts off but nothing I couldn't replace easily. Since it is so complete they said $50 and I haul it away and the whole thing is mine. Same alloy wheels, rear wing, etc. as my EX.

I'm thinking fix the body and get it inspected and retitled (currently is an Illinois "Red" title rebuilder) then hunt for an H22 drivetrain for it and save the F22 drivetrain as replacements for the one I'm driving now and keep beating it back and forth while keeping the white one for my good car. Sound like a plan ? Or strip it, sell the leftovers and scrap the shell ? Seems like too nice a car for that.

He's right, use it as your new project car.

There's already a LONG list of those ! I'm pretty sure it's a keeper but gotta find the little woman one with an auto one of these days to replace her LeSabre. I'm thinking an Accord EX wagon.

I bought this sad 90 LX in when i was still in FL. I got lucky and it didnt have a rebuilder/salvage title.

Bought for 150.00. Fixed A/C, and front clip... tossed on those 10 cent konigs and sold it for 2000.00

profit: 1500.00

I say fix the 91 and make some bank.
