    CJ You are not alone

    I don't agree with 1800 it's well documented and about 3000-3500 pounds. I'm going to wait for an early saloon to buy.

    CJ You are not alone

    CJ's is the oldest. I think his is an October 77, mine has got the lowest miles and original paint. DVLA says there is only 2 of my type of Accord road legal and one on a sorn. 1979 3DGM My car is a May 79 so about an 18 month gap between us They are both excellent in their own way. CJ's car is...

    CJ You are not alone

    I've emailed the garage to request more images. And told them about the website, me and CJ's 1st gens Lets see what happens with this one. I hope it ends up in a museum and not with a doofus who'd park it outside. I just don't have 4k to buy it.

    85 ACCORD DX

    If you ever need to sell it let me know. I'm after a mk2 for a daily driver. Need to replace the 98 coupe next February. How's the wheel search coming on?

    85 ACCORD DX

    The matt black thing is really on this season. Nice mod. Can't wait to see it with some nice white alloys, you thought of going the sticker bomb route? And try GAZ shocks they could hook you up a custom coilover setup. Dumping it into the weeds. You need a set of front brake pads as I have a...

    1979 Accord on Retro rides

    Nearly had a bid when it was on ebay. However the body would require a total respray and that is where it falls flat. I'd just sand it flat and vinyl wrap it and use it as a daily commute. The overall condition is ok but what the body on the outside looks like does not reflect what the...

    My 79 first gen update

    And everything original. Even the exhaust is a Honda unit! Just lucky that it came along before I gave up all hope and sold all my spares

    My 79 first gen update

    The panels are all done. Just need to get the wing painted to match. All I needed to do was get it road legal. On the news of a header. I don't have one at all. The ones on my spare engine are different to the engine from yours. If only I kept the engine from my 78 saloon when I parted it...

    My 79 first gen update

    I'll post on this thread when I get onto the little jobs. The main thing was getting the car road worthy. It feels like a new car driving it. The MOT tester remembered the early Accords and he has never seen one in this condition. He lifted up the carpet in the boot to look at the spare for...

    My 79 first gen update

    At last My car is road legal. She sailed through the MOT, not bad for a car that has been sat in a dry garage for six years. Passed this very morning about 12 20pm then straight for tax for 6 months. A brand new Honda exhaust was fitted, new coolant, filters and oil. She purrs like a...

    The new toy

    If anyone has said smaller springs to donate for free, I will drop it into the weeds but I don't want to spend anything just look after it while it's mine.

    The new toy

    What this bad girl I sold it to my Mum whose other CE8 Accord failed it's MOT on a front bearing. It's still running sweet as. This Coupe is to fill in between cars as Charley my wife her Fiesta engine and gearbox ate itself on a trip out and this Accord is filling in as a daily until she...
