Long story short, someone smashed my old car, it was their fault, working on getting money from their insurance...blah, blah, blah.
In the meantime, I scrounged up this 91 Accord EX. It is in bad shape, poorly maintained, etc. Tires are good, engine runs alright, needs brakes, needs a windshield, and cosmetically it looks like crap. It's also the ugly brown-gold sort of color. Oh well, it was free.
Anyway, what should I do to make sure it doesn't fall apart on me? The guy who gave it to me changed the air filter (first time in years, and he lives on a dirt road! ) and put on new spark plugs and wires. Who knows how long it's been since it's had an oil change. Should I flush out all the fluids and replace them? Any other suggestions to help revive a poorly maintained car?
Cosmetically, it looks like crap. Everything is faded, fithy, and falling apart. How much would new seats cost? Where could I find good floormats to match the (ugly) interior?
Also, the headlights are pretty dim. What should I replace them with?
Thanks for any help. I know I can turn this car into something decent. LOL!
