Hello everyone! Haven't had much time to get online recently, but here's my complete build thread to date. It's copied from another forum so may look odd.
It's a 1993 Honda Accord Coupe - Frost White - 2.0iES Sport Auto.
When I picked it up, it looked like this:
It had no MOT or Tax, but went through the test with no advisories at all!
Gave it the obligatory clean and polish, applied some stickers:
Thought I'd have a look at yellow headlights:
Really didn't like them, so straight off!!
Removed the front number plate to clean it up a little, no more horrible plate mount!
Flare and holder sourced for £5
Dashmat:
And Broadview:
Then managed to find some Work VSxx wheels, in need of a refurb but at a good price:
Test fitted:
Refurb started:
found some centre cap stickers in Thailand:
Was lucky enough to find a brand new front bumper for £24 delivered:
And went for the yellow highbeams. Much better than the whole lens.
Tinted Reverse lights:
So here's a couple of shots taken at Sandbanks recently:
I've just bought this Thule Rack and Fairing, always had a soft spot for roof racks:
Got a Thule Dash Tidy to match
New Stereo:
Sub and Amp sorted, no more wining and crackling. When I got it the boot was awful, ropey amp bolted to the middle of the floor, and the sub rolling around unrestricted! So got a more discreet amp (£20 Brand new :O ) and secured it all down:
Complete with courtesy curtain
Much better. Also picked up an OEM BMW First Aid Kit. Fits nicely on the parcel shelf and is the same colour as my trim:
Put some green pinstripes on the standard wheels, highlights them just enough to make them a little more interesting until the Works go on:
It's pretty loud.
New yellow foglights. Still unsure on these.
Thule Rack showed up today,thanks again to PowellyEG I'm a very happy bunny! I'll let the pics do the talking!
The wheels got sent to a refurber, who did a great job!
Before:
After:
And managed to finally sort out tyres, they're 205/40's with lots of tread left, and best of all they were free
Feedback appreciated, comments and questions welcomed.
