The Story
I bought this car all stock from an old lady in Union NJ. She was getting to old to drive stick, so she was selling it. I paid $800 for it. It ran and drove perfect, all it needed was a right front axel and a valve cover gasket. I am only the second owner of her. I was going to use it as it was for a beater, but then i found this site and had to fix up my accord. I decided it needed a new paint job, since the old one was peeling and it had rust. So i started aquiring parts, then the week of 3/14/11, my friend and I painted it in his back yard. And this is how she turned out:

Wow! I like it A LOT! Love the paint job! Sadly, my paint is worse than what yours was! Rust repair looks great, too! Did you do the rust repair yourself?

Not sure how white OEM 94-95 Accord wheels will look on it though.

Thanks man

I did the rust repair myself along with my father. We cut all of the rust out, put new metal in and then bondo'd over to smooth it.

Im not too sure how the wheels will look on it either.. im going to try to see if I can scoop up a set cheap as an experiment. I deffinently want to stay with 15's since I have brand new tires. Just dont know if I like the look of the OEM wheels on it now
