Hey all,
Thought I may as well start a thread for this now I'm di finitely keeping it after some financial issues this year!
I bought this '87accord 3G CA5 back in July ish time last year off hondacrazy off here (legend of a guy). It's the 2ltr 12v auto (yay) with electric everything (mostly working) inc cruise control, a/c etc etc. it's had a recent okish paint job to jet black which has since been keyed all over.
Anyway, I bought her looking like this:
Sat fairly low on some 17" fox halfords specials, kinda period suited but I knew they had to go.
After wafting about in it for a week or so I jacked her up to check out the underside. Generally happy however I noticed the fuel filler pipe had started to rot (common on these, in fact a lot were recalled) so without welding ability I sleeved the pipe with some fuel proof silicon hose left over from an old mk2 golf bike carb conversion.
I then wax oiled the entire pipe and area.
I decided to hunt for some replacement wheels. I managed to win a couple of rare SSP wheels off eBay, 17/7.5j for the rear which with a trial fit sat lovely
Then a couple of weeks later I sourced a full set of RG2 Reps, slightly narrower at 7J but tucked nicely with the forward rake
After some test driving a little arch rolling was needed and I sacked the mudflaps off.
I was content for a while and the only other changes were a stupid anti scene sticker:
And a backbox delete resulting in:
Then the old girl was parked up over winter until feb.......

That said it doesn't seem to hurt the cars image to have mangled rear arch lips
