Hello guys & gals (do we have any female anyway)

Some history before i start with the car ill drop here;

So i'm Benoit, i'm from the east shores of Quebec. I work as a mechanical designer engineer. Since i got a driver liscence i wanted a V6 Coupe Accord with the NSX taillights as a daily driver. After losing my liscence too many times i've just came back to my old idea to be responsible driver and have a mint 6th gen. My first one had already tranny probs, 30k kilometers later the tranny blowed up. Since then i just couldn't get satisfied with any car, used/new, sport/sedans, germany/americans/japaneses. So i've decided to buy another regardless the work i'd have to do on it.

So here's the ride before i start the restoration (the actual status)


Engine : Dead - Spark Plug welded on the block and broke. 200k kilos.

Suspension: Bought with brand new from HONDA bearings & suspensions.

Interior: Full leather, Clarrion CD player, Wood grain OEM. Problems with the wires for trunk, broken wire to open hood. Redneck style wise-grip to open the hood.

Exterrior: See pictures and description below.



Alright... here's the pictures of it's actual condition.


An overview.

Enjoy.

Good call on the responsible driving.

Damn that rust looks like bad news..
Have you checked the under carriage for issues with the rust?
you could have found a better accord to start with IMO because ur never going to stop the rust unless you cut out every bit of it

Good luck tho
