This is my new accord that I just aquired..

It is a 1997 honda accord 4d LX with all the dealer options except sunroof and leather Int.

I got the car--it was in bad shape..
It was my friends---sitting for 2 yrs.
He paid $25K cash for it when he bought it in 1997

He didn;t take care of it all too well...
The car was broken into while it sat and the stereo was stolen out of it.. The tires were flat.. And it had a siezed motor...

So this is what I have done so far:
I stripped all the interior out of it..
Washed everything including the seats, carpet, and plastics...
I cleaned the floors on it..
Cleaned the ceilings
Cleaned all the door jams
Then I waxed the whole car (still working on it.)
Then cleaned the rims and the wheel wells..
So far I have been working on it for 3 days..
