.....I'm new to this forum, and, maybe a new Honda owner. Never cared much about import cars. But about 8 months ago I bought a 1992 Plymouth Laser GS ( Plymoth's version of the Mitsubishi Eclipse) and have had a ball with it every since! But I want something with more room & more power, so I am looking at an old 1988 Accord that needs to be rebuilt from the pavement up. I can probably get it for a song & a dance, but wanted to get the inside scoop on it before I commited to it. Are parts still avalable? Was there good years & bad years for the accords, or were they all fairly decent cars? Can the OLD Accords be modded fairly reasonably? Like I said, I will have to do a complete teardown & rebuild of everything for the car to be right. It has 300,000 + miles on it and the owner (2nd owner, and the 1st owner is my 2nd cousin) just parked it one day about 4 years ago and said " Ok, thats long enough" And Bought a 2000 Accord to replace it! It was still running, but smoking and missing a little, when he parked it. I know it is old, but I like the old cars. There is just something about them that draws me to them.
