So....
I've posted here like 3 times since March.
But I'm alive. Still working. Just had the girlfriend move to MT. Paying off bills like crazy to buy a ring, etc.
And it ends up I needed to buy the gf a car. I looked for 6 weeks straight for a good project car. Not a single 92-95 Civic HB or Coupe with a 5speed anywhere near Billings. No SN95 Mustangs that didn't end up being pieces of crap. And crunch time is here. So I ended up buying a 94 Accord LX sedan today for my girlfriend to drive (I was getting sick of her using my Volvo all day).
It's a 5 speed with 140k miles and in decent condition for being 12 years old. Car history was good and I paid $4k for it. The color is the light blue/metallic you see everywhere.
It needs a new radio. The OEM one is fried. The front chin spoiler is missing and will someday be replaced with an oem styled one.
Only problem so far that needs attention is that the reverse lights aren't work (might just be bulbs) and the dash lights for the speedometer and tach don't light up at night. Everything else works well and is in good condition.
I'll post pictures sometime soon. Not too many plans for the car since I'm saving up for quite the expensive winter wedding. But plans are to buy a nice wheel/tire combo since the car needs new tires and also to buy the Tein Basic coilovers. Maybe a few suspension mods, but nothing for the engine. Maybe down the road I will.
Anyways, just saying hi again. Hope all has been well here.
