Well I wouldn't call it new. More like a little project that I'm trying to get running. Well here is the background story to the car. Oh and don't mind the rust cause the camera was set with a different setting which made the rust look really bad when it wasn't. And the underbody of the car is still in really great condition.

My dad got this car, not sure what year he got the car. But the car is a 1981 Honda Accord 5spd. My dad use to live in canada before me moved down to cali. Then after wards, he passed it down to his sister (my aunt) when she came to cali to live. After a while my aunt stopped driving the car which was back in 2001. And now the car has been sitting in their backyard for the past 7 plus years and they asked me if I wanted it and I said sure. The car has around 91,xxx km which is about 56,xxx miles on the car. An 1981 with only 56,xxx miles!?!? The pictures will prove them self.

With 91,xxx km which is about 56,xxx miles

 

Old school radio!!!








5spd tag!!!!



The car is about 75% done from actually being driven soon!!!

 

Fresh old school!!!!!!!! interior is near perfect

 

Yep, it has had a tarp over it for 7 years after they stopped driving it.

 

nice pickup-plans?

 

Wow! My friend had 1 exactly like that in high school. We used to pile 5 or 6 people in it to skip class. LOL!!! I thought that those were all extinct.

 

That is sweet! nice find

 

my sister had a hatch like this a long time ago, i miss that car. nice accord man

 

Good luck with the project bro.

 

K20 turbo. Coils and 15" jdm wheels and a sick wooden roof rack. EHHHHH hell ya

 

Nice fine! My family used to have one in a sort of mint green.

S

 

great condition.Please keep us updated.

 

wow thats a sweet accord. my family use to have an 86 up until recently. great cars. I bet that thing will be worth money one day if you keep it in that good of condition.

ftw it has less miles then my maxima

 

engine swap or keeping that engine??

 

wow. Thats clean for an 81

 

thats so crazy.. i just got one from my uncle.. although its a civic.. pretty much same front end just a 2 door though.. same year too i believe.. oh he even did an engine swap and put that accord engine in it for more power.. your accord is super clean.. thats one hell of a find!!

 

Keeping the engine. I don't really have much plans for the car besides getting better with driving stick and have it as a DD.

 

Well I wouldn't call it a find since it was my dad/aunt's car. And it has been sitting in my aunt's backyard for so long.

 

That accord looks better then most new ones(body wise its awsome). Kinda reminds me of the 510.

 

very neat, should make a nice project. And you can't complain about those miles

 

Hell no I can't complain about those miles. Its less than my car by about 30,000

 

Geez, that ride..it's too cherry

Lucky SOB

 

HAHA!!!! This car actually came from alberta, Canada

 

JDM tyte red spark plug wires.

but that thing is pretty sweet.

Throw so nice Volk rims on it and RB26dett the *****

 

can you take pics of those front brakes....

 

Nice man. They have a section over at 3geez.com for 1st gen accords. Best site out there for older generation accords. I use to moderate the boards, check them out when you get the chance, they should like this catch. Nice find.

 

nice car. what are your immediate plans for it?? do you have to do much to get it on the road again, since it has been sitting for a while?

 

New calipers. I also have new rotors but they are sitting in the garage at the moment.

 

A car from 1981 with 56,000 miles...wow not bad for a freebie. That 5speed badge is pretty awesome too haha. Good luck fixing it up, hopefully 7 years hasn't done too much damage.

 

Well the car has had a tarp over it for that 7 years, so it hasn't seen any sunlight until recently.

 

did they empty out the fluids before storing it?? seven years can do a lot.
