Last January, I sold my 97 Accord. Some might remember it, some probably don't care. But, the kid I sold it to, blew up the motor, had it replaced, and then wrecked the car TWICE. He ran into the back of an explorer, and got side swiped by a PT Cruiser. I sold the car to him for 4500, and bought it back for 900. It still runs and drives great, and the black tweed is holding up like a champ in the interior, except in one spot. I plan on getting all the body work done, and getting it all in primer within the next month or two. Ill be sure to post pics before/during/after. And, I'm conteplating on putting air back on it for the summer or not. We shall see. Ill try to get some pics of how it sits later today when its not raining.

yah, it was flooded, but everything was repaired properly, by me, of course. its had a very hard life, but i owned the car for almost 4 years before i sold it, and as soon as i sold it, i wanted it back.

ill fix it, but its going to be my daily for a while, since ive put 14000 miles on my integra in 8 months.

theres no frame damage. i just have to replace the core support. he took it somewhere to try to fix it, and they did a ****ty job. i just have to get another set of black headlights, and the doors should be an easy fix, i already have a set of stock fenders and the stock mirrors to go on it. and im def. planning on getting some cans or air struts for the summer/spring time

for starters, i just want all the body work done, and get it all in primer so i have something to drive to work everyday, to keep miles off of the integra. then eventually, i want to put air back on it. but we shall see. im looking into air strut kits, since the cans are such a rough ride.

struts arent that great of a ride either man, just warning ya.
