1989 Honda accord 2.0 ex HELP NEED HEADLIGHTS

[ph47jat]

Welcome to my thread, I have been a long time lurker and have finally bitten the bullet and bought my self a Japanese classic.
The car was bought unseen and was first delivered to me a day after doing the deal. Was covered in bird poo looking sorry as ever and making me wonder if I had bought a rotten Apple.

The car arrived with a shonky front bumper and faded paint on roof, bottled and driver wing.

What the plan?
Lower it
Get bbs style 17s
Lower it
And colour code bumpers anf sort paint work.
Deadline is to have it Done during the summer holidays.

I own a 1990 prelude and these J motors back then were definitely built to last ..  this was an era where the japanese made proper cars.

These speakers were a lucky find, it's a bonus that they are brand new and fit like a glove on rear shelf.
They don't make Japan cars how they used to. All the new J stuff now either rusts to bits as seen on civic eg's or just falls apart when it has a bump

[ph47jat]

Bad news went to clean up the rear arches as they were starting to bubble and instead chunks were falling off from the lip or the arch. Never welded or dealt with rust before. Don't know if this is a major job or can be fixed cheaply

[ph47jat]

Bit disheartened at the moment, with the rust issues. But then think in the bigger picture it is minor and will come back to it. For now have covered it in rust converter.
