Hi everyone, name is Sean. I've been working on cars for years new, started with a 82 Trans am (still have) and moved on to first gen Rx-7's (still have both, building a turbo one now) and recently got a 94 accord as a daily driver. It's a 4 door ex with 140k on it. Was all stock, and original when I got it (read: worn the hell out)
Anyway, it runs good, I put a AEM short ram on it, a magnaflow cat, and full magnaflow cat back. And am just finishing up installing tokico hp shocks, tein S tech springs, all new ball joints, rotor over hub conversion up front (with new bearings of course) and I replaced the axles while I was at it. Also installed stainless brake hoses. I'll be finishing up the rear brakes and bleeding the brakes tonight, can't wait to see how it handles.
I do all my own work, including rust repair, and other body work, engine work, interior etc etc. My accord had the usual rust in the rear quarters, I cut it all out, made some sheet metal patches and welded them in, needs a little more smoothing to look "stock" but its not too bad.
Anyway, sorry to ramble.... ;)

Of the rust spots I assume? I'll be sure to post some pics of it once I finish smoothing it all out... I really would like to repaint the car at some point too, I'm not a fan of "cashmire silver metallic"...

I was thinking of the whole ride, kind of like a 'Flip this House' thing.

I hope so! Thanks for the welcome. I'll post some pics of the car once I get it rolling again (having some issues getting the brakes bled properly) and one of my struts is making noise, so something isn't quite right.... If anyone is interested in the other stuff I have worked on I can post links to some of my posts on the rx7 forum....
