well, looks like I'm selling the old Honda. October 5th will mark 10 years I've had the wagon. Rust issues just force my desire for something RWD to drive daily.Comment

Still have it. It sat behind my parents barn for a year. Then when I bought my house a year ago I started it up, moved it to my house then it sat in my side yard for a year. Well this year I figured I should take advantage of the storage place I have available to me and move it there. Haven't touched the car in a year and opening the hood was a challenge. But once I did that, checked the oil, added some and put my jump pack on it. 4 or 5 cranks and it came to life! Damn this poor old car, still don't have the heart to sell or part it out, would be a waste of a good car, think I'll keep it.
Give it a few years to build up funds and I think I will restore it. For now it'll sit in indoor storage for as long as thats available.Comment

Good deal on not getting rid of her. If I am ever up in the NH area I would be glad to help out and restore the car! Sounds like a lot of fun and money. What a pretty color. I really like how subtle it is.
Even with old gas it started right up? Damn that is awesome.Comment

I approve of your decision to keep it! It started up just to show you its worth.1993 Accord DX | Rosewood Brown Metallic

A lot of money is right! Need to locate OEM 1/4 panels to do it right. I have a few cars in line to be completed before this one. Started right up and idled as smooth as silk.Originally posted by dhill_cb7 View PostComment

Any updates? Or is it still sitting?Originally posted by Accrdwgnguy View Post
I started mine up after it was sitting and I didn't change the oil and the exhaust smelled horrible and appeared to be white. I was worried about the head gasket but I searched online and apparently this is normal if the oil hasn't been changed in a long time. I changed the oil and the smell/smoke went away.Comment

Yup! Still sitting. Visited it a month ago while I was pulling another car out of storage and it seems the oil pan let go and spilled it's guts everywhere. So I just shuffled the car around by hand and covered it up. Likely going to pull it out of storage soon, fix all the mechanical issues and look into selling it.
Had it for 13 years now and been off the road the last 3, not sure I have the interest in this car anymore, and I have alot of other projects I want to complete.

Well this is end. For me anyhow. I pulled the car out of storage this past year as my buddy sold the building it was stored in. Thus i brought it home, cleaned it up and contemplated its fate. Didn't want to part it, too good for that and with the old honda market the way it is, most of it would go to waste. I didn't want to deal with the onslaught of lowballers so I parked it behind the garage for now.
Last weekend a guy comes by to look at and ultimately buy another car I had for sale. He brought his buddies and of course we are all bs'ing about cars and his one friend spots the accord. "hey you have a title for that Honda" Well of course I do, being as I bought the car when title law applied to it. He says he's interested, I throw him a price I thought was reasonable considering the upgrades on the car and he said "no problem." So, the car is tentatively sold and will be picked up next weekend.
TL,DR; sold my first car and the subject of this thread. It will get fixed up and used again. I really just had no interest or motivation to do anything with it.Comment
