My trusty old 54 plate (2005) Accord Tourer EX is starting to get a little long in the tooth. She's served me well over the last couple of years and will continue to serve a new owner for many to come. But I wanted something newer, something that would give me a little extra MPG's now that I no longer 'need' all that extra space in the back.
So I picked this up for 2k last week. Currently having a few little jobs done before putting it on the road by the 1st Nov.
Full Honda service history, will be serviced by me every 6-8k from now on... I only average 5-6k a year anyway.

I've fixed the flickering top LCD, fixed the interior lights and swapped over all interior bulbs to LED's along with the boot light.
She'll be given a full service this week, and then off to the body shop for a couple of small jobs... lower rear drivers door has a small rust patch that requires attention, the boot lid has been scratched by some one with rings closing it and scuffing the paint repeatedly... so I thought... ya know what it's missing... a rear spoiler. So I picked one up with a brake light and will get that fitted at the same time.
Wheels are in decent shape, but over the coming months I'll be getting them all powder coated anthracite to better match the paintwork... and as I replace parts, I'll be upgrading them... so expect slotted discs and ebc red pads, and when I do the shocks, I'll be fitting some eibac springs.
The only other thing I have to do, I am awaiting the part for... The BT system actually works... which was a bonus, but the mic had failed. A replacement is on it's way to me at the moment.
It's got a full set of mats in excellent condition... they obviously replaced the drivers mat at some point because there's a spare one with the little hole in it from the heel of a shoe...
New wiper blades will be fitted, not because they're needed but because the ones on the car right now look tatty. I may also relocate the washer jets as I did on the tourer over 3yrs ago, to sit on the wiper arms. That proved to be a very good mod that works perfectly to this day.
Will update with pics as I go.
