Are you gunna swap the body kit out to stock, or leave it? Its really not that bad. and is the hood saveable? looks pretty beat up. but good luck!
its going back to stock, and i dont know if the cf hood is saveable


What's so wrong with the tail-lights, anyway? At least they're not Altezza's.

You should be able to wet sand/polish the spots out of the hood. And if those headlights weren't of the dorky Ricer Halo style, they wouldn't be THAT bad.

Congrats - I'm assuming it got home under its own power... barely it sounds like... but nonetheless - a good find. Have fun.
well the tails arent bad i actually like them i have the same set on my 95ex and another set like that coming for my 94 ex and the headlight doesnt really bother me that much, like i mentioned those 2 items are literally brand new he have just put it in before he sold me the whole thing, i guess i forgot to mention that the car died on him and didnt wanna mess with the fuel pump/ not starting so he got it towed to the house thats how i got it so cheap, plus he is a friend ...i know the motor runs cuz it was fine the night before it died on him, im guessing the timing slid off and wont start back ... but its stil a good steal .


damn another one?? i'd take it for $150 real fast. junk yard+tlc= hella fun and cheap rally car

keep us updated!
definately

If you're interested inmaking money off of it quick, I'll give you $500 for it. I was going to buy this pos Accord, but I would much rather have something like that. Wouldn't be hard to rip off the rice stuff and put the factory body back on with some lip kits.
