HondAccordMan : 1991 Accord LX

[HondAccordMan]

PICS ON ALMOST EVERY PAGE!!!!

Welcome to my Member's Ride Thread. It is dedicated to my '91 Accord LX sedan that I picked up on 7/8/09. It has been my project for almost two years now. It was a real mess when I bought it, but now it's finally starting to come together. Time to start modifying it. No boy racer mods for me, though. All tasteful and well thought out mods only.

Latest pics as of April 2011
