[THE_1990_ACCORD]

You can definitely tell it's a Swedish accord because of the white color, not much of a suntan at all. If it were me I would take out that trunk carpet everything I could to clean it and then clean the plastics in the back. Another rare treat is the hood insulator that would be neat to see a full picture of that. In the photo of the front of the car it looks like the front is a little higher than the back I know that the front lip is missing but maybe it's all that air conditioning stuff that's not in there that is not weighing down the Springs to make it sit level. Certainly looks like a gym I hope you take care of it and give it to treatment it deserves interior looks like it was kept well.

Thanks for the visit and kind words!

Yeah, it's been owned by an elderly couple for many years. Less than 105k (miles) on the clock at pickup for $950. They always buy white little Japanese cars for some reason. They also normally keep them garaged and prefer washing over driving

It isn't perfect, however:





This is interesting, since there's no rust on the rest of the car. Moisture must be trapped somehow.
Oh, and the insulator:



Thought this was actually standard on all markets :o Good hint about our winters...

I prefer to keep this car somewhat stock, although I couldn't resist a WRC-style body kit for next to nothing (like this https://img.modifiedcartrader.com/up...-ex-807195.jpg). It will go through the fate of a daily driver (whole point of this car was actually to save $900/year by replacing my old E39), however garaged and washed frequently

Thanks for the photo there's a lot of story than Bing told find the areas where there is no insulation the areas that have a thicker installation the high points in the low points of it that is really neat to look at

So, just a week since this thread was started, and already out of date...


Package of goodies turned up A major brake system overhaul will be done (front discs + pads, rear shoes and fluid), as well as maintenance with spark plugs + air filter etc. Oil was already changed, although I'm not certain it should really have fully synthetic oil. Guess it works for now.

Front position lights were also cracked/leaky, and from Germany they were just $10 each, so those + a new towbar cover will be some nice extra treats. Also looked for white front/side indicators, but nothing in stock.


Had to pick up some winter wheels as well (in south Sweden it's not all that necessary, but regulated by law). Lives a little Evo in there, doesn't it


A heater is also a nice winter treat. Perhaps a little overkill with 1850W but yeah... Will hopefully be installed soon.

Very nice looking CB. Hopefully you can get that rust taken care of so it doesn't spread.

yeah, our cars are terrible for rear quarter panel rust. It starts with moisture trapped in the rubber pieces glued into the rear wheel wells, then spreads from there. A rare design flaw in an otherwise amazing car.
