Well, I seem to be one of the most fickle people on this board. That much is obvious, you don't have to tell me. I picked up my first Honda, a 1990 Accord that is a little under the weather.

What is hilarious, is that the motor runs fine. I mean, sure it could use an oxygen sensor....

The body is a little hurt. What I wanted to ask, if any body shop guys or people in the know could let me know how much these repairs might hurt my wallet?

Repair tons of Honda rust (Like, two square feet over all)
Correct the fitment of the headlights, hood, grill, bumper (REPLACE!), trunk, tail lights.. They're there, but just don't.. fit right. Haha?

And blow a cheap coat of shiny black. And fix the worst case of freaking wheel gap I've ever see!

lol, wut? where did he mention power?

Actually, it's in the garage it says 180 horse power. THat's my best guess.

It pulled even with an 08 Civic SI until third gear.

And with half of my body rusted away, I'm guessing I weigh a bit less than the SI
