got a project for the summer...1994 accord ex coupe...hit in the front...pretty good hit too...

well basically i need some assistance on knowing what exactly i'll need to replace...the entire front end is basically smashed...i took off everything that i could already...bumper, fender, hood, headlights...

what would you say i would need to replace? damage never reached the engine...exhaust manifold hasn't been touched by the accident...lots of rust though as you can tell...the engine starts up just fine...sounds nice and honda-y...well anyway, what do you guys have to say?

 

Is that the new "sleeper" look?

 

A new radiator is a dead giveaway... and since u're gonna make it a project, break out the cleaner and degreaser and shine that baby up as u replace & fix the parts!

BTW, how much did u pay?!

 

radiator, condensor, hood latch, grill, headlights, fenders, hood, bumper, bumper reinforcements, bumper brackets, front crossmember, corner lights, maybe a radiator fan and 12 cans of foamy engine bright


it looks like the major work will be the radiator support everything else should straighten out once you put it on the frame rack to check it out ....


edit ... needs a winshield too..

 

paid 1500 bucks for it...got 130K on the odometer...you think i got a good deal?...how much $$$ do you think i have to put into this baby?

isn't that **** to figure out before you buy the damn thing?!?!

 

Pretty good deal if you ask me. I'd say $3000, you should have pretty much covered everything. Junkyard will be your friend.

 

your gonna need all new JDM parts.. and u'll be fine ..

that's basically what I need for my car after the accident I got into last week. Basically identical to the one our friend there bought. Initally I bought my car for $3500 USD. The damages costs me $2800 USD. pretty crappy eh. but u guys think i got my car for a good deal minus the accidne cost? i got an automatic 1995 accord ex 4 dr with 174000 km on it.

 

did u just buy the car straight from the junk yard? i would be interested in a project like this also.

 

hmmm isnt that too much $$$ i paid for mind $4k 94 accord ex with 120k
and it was clean car.

 

blah,,, you could always part the car and make your money back ..

wow 1500 for 130k car is kinda expensive
my friend wants to sell his in the nyc area with just the 2 sides of the doors smashed, for less than 1000 and 80k, he got sideswiped into a MTA bus, so damages to the doors are horrible...
