Default My 1989 Honda Accord LX-i Coupe Build

I am Dan, kinda new to the game. This is my first build ever, and it's a car that generally nobody messes with: A 1989 Accord.

The goal for my project? Make a nice car. The engine will be getting a stock rebuild, and some bolt-ons, OBD-1 Conversion. Expect a wire tuck, and a nice interior, smooth bodywork, and Adriatic Blue. Also expect: Nice stance and nice (Rota, until I can afford real ones) wheels. Onward with the photos!!!

Here is what I'm starting with! 1989 Accord Coupe LX-i


Here is all the rust that needs repair! :D


Let the TOTAL DESTRUCTION (Careful disassembly and organization) begin! So far we have stripped the interior save the carpet.


WTF is holding back the cluster?



Looks like I got it!





I must've lost my mind! But at least I found Jesus!


BIG thanks to my buddy Tim for helping me out and taking pictures!
