    Repainting Hood and replacement fenders.

    After waiting since June, I got my father/mechanic to perform an engine swap on my 2000 Honda Accord Se. But throughout all of what I had to put up with, I've decided I'm going clean it up a bit and sell it to someone who will enjoy it more than I did. Aside from a few dings from being parked in...

    Engine Swap price question

    I dunno, I'd think being out of a car for past 7 months, being jerked around by my best friend and my dad would be considered an "ordeal" ... Anyways I figure by feb I'll have between 4500-6000 grand, I'll either get an Acura TL (somewhere between 99-01) or already decked out accord, 4d, none of...

    Engine Swap price question

    Sounds easy but for me it won't be. My dad might just do it when I say I want my money by feb. IF i do go with this plan though, I'd buy a car that has everything done. My accord needs a new tranny too, so even if its running again I'm going to have to do so much **** to it. It's a big ordeal...

    Engine Swap price question

    So I've been thinking today... And I might be giving up on this headache. I was offered 900 for the shell a while ago and I'm going to try to sell it along with the motor, ($900-1300) I'm going to get my old man to cough up my $1000, i'm probably getting $1300 on my tax return, and I'll have...

    What'd you do to your accord today?

    Looked at my busted accord on my dads race car in disappointment.

    Engine Swap price question

    Engine Swap price question

    I recently wrote a thread similar but this is a different question/area. How much would it cost me if I dropped my car off, along with the replacement engine for some mechanic to take out the old motor, drop the new one in, then take all the parts that are in the back seat and reinstall them...

    Hopefully soon, Accord project.

    Okay so I've decided on a few things. Fenders: I'm going to buy them from a junkyard. Even if you get a good deal online it seems you're still paying 50-80 on shipping. **** that. I'll have to call around, though I'm sure my old man can find a good pair. I'm 70 percent sure that I'm going to...

    Hopefully soon, Accord project.

    So after my old man does my engine swap(reference to my last thread) and gets my car running again I have a lot ahead of me it seems. And I guess here is the best place to get opinions. Firstly I have to replace the fenders on my 2000 Accord, from what I've seen I have quite a few options. Get...

    My 2000 Accord (se) advenutre/dillema.

    My old man said it looks okay, gave me some stuff to spray into it and had me stuff some towels into the holes where the exhaust manifold connects to. He also gave me a time frame between christmas and new years when he's going to do the swap. (Annoyingly enough, after he takes HIS engine block...

    My 2000 Accord (se) advenutre/dillema.

    I'm kinda inept when it comes to automobiles. Amusingly enough, none of the interest/knowledge of cars from my dads family rubbed off on me or my brother. I doubt I'll be able to tell whether my engine is now a dud or not, but would my old man be able to tell with his eyes of experience by just...

    My 2000 Accord (se) advenutre/dillema.

    Since late july, the weather hasn't been bad but it will snow soon.

    My 2000 Accord (se) advenutre/dillema.

    (Apologies if this is the wrong place for this thread.) So last June my Accords engine (F23A4) over heated. My old man a mechanic for the past 40+ years replaces the thermostat and the radiator and ruled out the waterpump and any other possibilities and states that something inside the block...
