Never ever had any intention of buying an Accord but when this came up at a price that was too good to say no to i bought it. Here's the way i bought it:
Then having a slight rather infamous incident it was time for a new clutch.
Next i bought a honeycomb grill.
Then i gave it to my brother to use for a while after he sold his Astra GSI
Random Pics from when he had it:
Then due to my brother kerbing 2 of the wheels badly he paid to get them refurbed. And while it was in i decided to get the chrome bits painted black,
Next my girlfriend bought me a decat for it although i have no pics of this, And i also bought the red rear badge.
Then due to a certain companys incompetance. the oil pump failed and resulted in needing a new engine. At the same time this happened to the car.
Also had the drivers side rear window smashed and keyed along the other side aswell.
So that meant major modification time!
Stripped the front end:
Then set about getting it in my garage.
Exhausts ripped a drain up, oops.
And Heres some random other pictures:
Flooded Road:
Glitter Paint
Dash Partially stripped so i can remove loom and ecu.
And thats all the pictures from now. Since then Ive added 9k Clocks, genuine smoked headlights with hid packs. Removed the engine. and got the engine bay and door shuts painted white. The rest of the car will be painted when the engine is in.
Waiting on delivery of,
Front hubs and wishbones
SHifterbox and shifter cables
driveshafts
Next month will buy more toys!

How much are you to insure that? Must be hurting your wallet?
Oh, and it looks awesome, quite fancy one of these innthe future.

It will have a Type-R engine when it goes back on the road so the quote he's had is for that.

The grille and the surround painted looks loads better. Hope the ban stops you driving around like a twat.

Same...! Didn't you buy it before, hadn't passed your test or something and blew it up? Something illegal was done anyway
