schierholz : 1991 Accord LX

[schierholz]

I wanted to bring my Cb out and show her off a bit and her little story hope you all enjoy.

As she sit's right now



As she was earlier ( with my un decided front bumper, probably should address that soon)


I got her back in november 2010

A White 1991 Honda Accord LX F22a1


Recent front end swap 7/10/13



Cloth Blue interior and almost 200k on the odom



about 45 days later I was driving home and I heard a noise pulled over and
found out my harmonic balancer wasnt doing anything

So after trying to find someone to help me swap my engine I found a

Solaris Silver Se with a Rebuilt 50k F22a6

So i Swapped the engine and interior




Then I found This Awesome website and decided to upgrade my car from what it was personlize it

and it started with Getting some new tires


Then I went To the junkyard and Found a Set of Original Foglights for my Car I Installed them right there at the yard I was Extatic





My GM Mirror swap and BMW Light


Vigor Rear Lights (found them in Grey and replaced the Tan ones I previously used at the start)
Starting and test Fit

Finished Product


I Previously Picked up a Tan Center arm rest for the 90/91 and had it reupholstered to mach. I spray painted the tan but after a half year it started chipping off so I found the Peices for the OEM black color here is the Finished product (with my Vigor E-Brake boot and handle Swap)




98-02 Accord cluster swap


Where we are now

You may notice I am playing with a idea for a removable cup holder in the rear

Yes I did get around to repairing the Ripped seam on the middle of my front drivers seat I think it came out well



Yes a new set of Rim's (which i'm waiting for my fiances to be better *early next year*) and a good paint job will make her look great!

Nice view of all my upgrades mirror Bmw light and my cluster swap ( and yes I did finaly find a Oem leather wheel so my car at this point other than disk brakes (soon) and the sun roof and Abs I believe this is a proper Se)



Here are some Photo Shots

[WhiteShift]

hi!!!

good work so far with diy! im jealous of your interrior..ahah great work man this car seems to be in good shape!!

[Mr_Doitagain]

I'm Dig'n the inside.... Nice upgrade...

[mercyboy]

keep up the good work....

[faqncb7]

Nice ride , but I'm not diggin the rims

[schierholz]

I'm very happy with finding a donor with a interior in black I've read it's very rare
It came with only 1 rip 1 stiching falling apart and a few scuffs
The vigor lights were supposed to look better but I cut the hole wrong so I'm going with it
And the rims arnt the meanest but they keep her looking diffrent from everyone else
Some day I want to clean her up paint her get her a h22 and get some new rims then she will be a sight to see

[redlined302]

I am loving the interior and the creative mods you did to it Although the rims are not my taste, this is a good build thus far. Keep up the good work!

[slammed91cb7]

nice work so far

[crazyl69]

Good start. Luck must be on your side. Not only to find a good set of black leather interior but more so, a rare find of OEM factory fog light set. Don't loose momentum.

[crazymikey]

You got some pretty cool stuff goin on with this car. Keep it up!

I like alot of your DIY stuff.

[schierholz]

Nice ride , but I'm not diggin the rims

Agreed the rims are 1 heavy and 2 not tastefull i am looking into a new set soon though

[schierholz]

Got a Spoiler For her now I need to get rid of the Green and throw some white on it





alredy worked on sanding it down a bit but its going to take some time

Also took time to tidy up the rear view mirror and fix the little gap on my bmw map light

[cb7_with_snail]

Toss the rims. But nice solid CB man!

[schierholz]

Working on trashing these rim's..... Anyone got some ideas on some cheaper rims that look good I may just go get some 4 lug saw blades for her im very partial to something like this

[schierholz]

So a bit of a update.

Managed to pull off another Mirror swap I have wanted this for a while .... still have to fix my D.Y.I


Got my Valve cover gasket replaced No more Leaking Oil

Now I find my Rack going on both sides

I have a primer White trunk Lid and both rear fender's the same.... I do not have the budget to fork out 280 to get them re matched to my current 20+ year old paint. So my fellow members I need some help

For the temporary future

1 Rattle can the car Makes a Glossy white
2 Leave the car the 2 shades of White 20 yr old and the primer rear end
Or if anyone lives close to my 209 Nor Cal area and would lend me a hand to fix my pain


and my insturment cluster the 98 hit 319k and the temp started acting up so I pulled the cluster and played with it a bit ended up that it needed some pressure to keep the signal so bending a tab keeps it working for now hopefully i do not lose anything else

final looking into some new rims next chance I get a good pay check I will have some new rims and possably a legend lip by CAM

and anyone notice something
