New from VA, first Acura

Hello, I'm Jim from central VA. Just got an 06 TL w/Nav(doesn't work) for my wife to replace her Accord. I got the car as a project. Will probably pull the nav system out and replace with a more updated system (I just don't see the point in spending $100 on a disk, that's already 3 years out of date). She also has MS, so a complicated system is hard for her to operate. And the new TLX,,,,was WAAAYYY to complicated for her.

Welcome Jim! Congrats on your Acura TL and I am sorry to hear about your wife's MS. God bless and definitely a smart idea to make it easier for her, you're a good man.

Welcome and congrats!

Looking forward to hearing more about your progress and perhaps to seeing some pics of the car.

Cheers!

Same color as the one above. Right now, I have wheels pulled. I'm fixing the horrible curb rash. Think I'll leave them polished. But dang,,,,that powder coat is some tough stuff. These are powder coated with clear, painted silver below that,,,and a primer coat.

I also noticed the control arm bushing are going to need replaced, and passenger side half shaft boot is split. So, that will be next in line.

But for a car with 190k miles, it runs and drives great. I'll probably leave the engine and trans alone.
