Greetings All,
I've been lurking in these forums for years reading all the wonderful help and suggestions from everyone over the years, and in so many cases, the wealth of knowledge here has been super useful! I though it's probably time to start actually being a part of this group since I have 3 Honda Accords that I'm now working/maintaining. Two are mine, and one is my daughter's.
I'm a hobby mechanic that likes to get hands dirty... so I usually do most of my own work (except exhaust, alignment and timing belt work)

My Accords:
Both are 1992 Accord EXR Wagons:
First One - White, Bought in 1999, and reached almost 500,000 kms before being retired as a parts car for the second one.
Second One - Bronze, Bought 2012 with only 56,000 kms on it! Stored for 11 months a year in a heated garage, and very well maintained. I've since managed to bring it up to 200,00 kms. It was such a super find!

Daughter's Accord:
1990 Accord EX Sedan - white. Bought for $800CAD, didnt start, but we got it all fixed up together! There is some rust on the back section. Just over 200,000kms on hers too. She loves to work on it with me and since we have a common "parts car" we can use, we learn how to keep our cars running together.

The image below is on the day I bought my second Bronze Accord Wagon!

Wow, nice looking cars (wagons). $800 CAD .. guessing you live in Canada. Salt on the roads? Have you check the underside for rust. My 2001 Elantra died a rust death. Rear support assembly rusted thru. Could break it apart with my hand. So Junked it. It was still looking good up top. Anyway, nice to see a new member. Please enjoy the ride.
