A few days ago I posted a pic of my Accord. Thanks for all the comments. Here's some pics of my CL. I purchased it about a year ago. I bought it wrecked, and rebuilt it. I just recently had it repainted. It's totally stock right now, but I have some plans. I already have suspension on the way. Racing Hart's already here. Window tint coming saturday. Here's the pics.

This is how I bought it.








We did all the work except for a light pull on the rail, and the paint. I think it turned out very nice.

 

cool man, great job on the fix up! missing exhaust tips though?

 

ahhhh....shes beautiful. nice body work. i bought mine rebuilt too and she doesnt look half as nice im sure. ill get there soon tho....

 

very nice man.

 

lookin good!!

 

wow shes all brand new

 

Excellent restoration!

 

damn, nice work man.

 

very nice work man!

 

nice work! clean

now drop it

 

Excellent work. Glad you didn't abandon her!

 

what happened? i cant tell?

lol, looks like a very very good job. i want those stock wheels!

 

wow thats a great job. Im wondering wtf kind of accident the car was in to have a hole in the hood right in the front middle lol.

 

a truck hitch.

 

Looks great man. Can't wait to see your plans for her after seeing your Accord.

Where you at in Ohio? I'm near Akron.

 

nice job! Looks great.

 

wow it came along way loooks shnazzy good loooks

 

Damn you for noticing the tips! lol Yeah, I need to get some. I'm sure the Acura ones are $50 each. Those will have to be soon...

 

Actually that is where the wrecking yard cut a hole in the hood to release the hood latch. Surprisingly enough the grille was usable. Although I'd like to pick up the 97 grille....maybe I'll do that when I get the tips!





I'm in Lorain, OH. About 20 miles west of Cleveland.

 

Looks incredible, right by cleveland eh? We're having a meet in Pittsburgh on August 3rd if you're interested

 

Really? Where at? I was out your way a few weeks ago. I went to IKEA! lol

 

^August 3rd in Pittsburgh my friend. If you want, we can roll out of Ohio together.

And IKEA is the craziest store I have ever been to, hands down.

 

IKEA? In Robinson I'm guessing I hate that place

 

haha yeah im right near the ikea in robinson, freaking place is MASSIVE. but yeah, you should definitely come down, we're meeting, eating and cruisin. Heres the thread link: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=393716&page=2
check it out.

 

great restoration, the only thing is that you didn't re-use the oem fogs... why is that?

 

They were toast. The brackets were rusted badly and the lens was bad too. I'm going to replace them soon.

And my KSports Kontrol Pro's just showed up for my Accord. The CL will get the Accord's current Skunkworks Coilovers and Tokico HPs soon!!!

 

Woot!
I got my windows tinted over the weekend! 50% on the doors, and 40% on the rest. I was hoping to go 30%, but they only had 40% or 15%, and 15% is too dark. Oh well...





I also pulled off the Skunkworks coilovers/Tokico shocks out of my Accord and put the K-Sports on. The Skunk/Tokico setup is for the CL.

I think I'm going to have to replace the rear lower control arm bushings where the rear shocks bolt up. The bolt is froze to the inside of the bushing. The bolt only unthreading as far as the bushing lets it. That's some shitty work. Anyone have any good tips on getting that apart? Besides cutting the bolt and then cutting out the bushing...

 

Tint looks good, we had to torch mine out

 

i say window tinting isn't worth it unless you go really dark. thats just me though

 

I can testify going from no tint to some tint actualy does alot. It is that much cooler inside when you get in. No leather burns ftw..

 

You can't go dark in my state, cops will rape you

 

Yeah, I go to several places that they are really strict on tint. So I didn't want the hassle. Even the some tint is better than none. That's for sure!

 

on the tint thing. Some is better than none. As for the suspension bolts, they can be a real bitch. Most members have had to cut or drill or torch them out. So be prepared for the headache to come if you're replacing them yourself.

 

Yeah, I've done it countless times on civics and accords. I was just hoping someone had the miracle answer. Something that doesn't happen very often, but Honda had a poor design on that.

 

wheres the damage?

i kno

nice job man. major props for sho. lol

 

in new jersey you can't have the front windows tinted. i was in court 2 years ago and there was a guy there who had the front windows tinted and he got a major fine for it. i wanted to do mine, but i don't want that hassle if i get pulled over.

 

...what?

Tint looks good! I think I'm going to get 25% or 30% all around. Around here, tint laws suck.

 

thats how i feel as well but looks good.

 

really? Mine were tinted so dark you could barely se inside and i never got pulled over

 

Yeah, neighboring towns around mine are anal about it.

Usually it's all about if the cop feels like being a dick.
