Default 1990-1993 Honda Accord Wagon (Restoring) Mainer here!

Hi All,

I'm new to this site. Quite exciting. I have a 1992 Honda Accord Wagon LX been ours since new. Recently I ran into some problems keeping me from putting it on the road. It needs new supports for the rear bumper that rusted out. Its in decent shape and runs strong. The body is the main concern.

I need to fix the body up at some point because if it is ever gonna get a sticker (I'm from maine) It needs the bumper fixed and soon the wheel wells need attention 4 years after a maaco refinish.

I'm new. Any advice, links, or help would be appreciated. I'm a recent college grad on a budget.

I removed the stock hub caps last summer and sanded and sprayed out the wheels, added a chrome trim rim and some chrome lugs. I thought it would give it a better look.

More pictures to come. I'm looking to remove the bumper at some point fix the bumper supports myself, and do some body work to take care of rust. The big problem now besides the bubbling paint is the gap between the body in the inner back right wheel well. Theres a small gap that needs attention so it doesn't continue to be a problem. Does anyone know where I can get a inner wheel well solution. I don't want my dad's roof tar idea really because I want to fully restore this car someday and make it something awesome

In light of the economy I really want to do much myself. I can't afford, nor do I want to spend hundreds on professional labor. Oh and I really hope this is my 5th post because I want to use this site after the trial 15 days is up.
