First, I'm not a motorhead. I actually hate working on cars.
This past weekend, I picked-up a 1992 Honda Accord LX wagon. 105,000 original miles and an automatic. The body has a few rust holes above the rear wheel wells and on the driver's door. I intend to drive it until I can find a car with a great body, but has a trashed tranny, motor or both. I may fly to Vegas (flights are cheap) to find a car with high miles, but never exposed to the salted roads of Minnnesota. The thing is, I couldn't pass on this car. The motor purrs and I know the reputation the '92 has for reliability.
I want to find a coupe that the motor will essentially drop-in to.
I don't have the car sitting right outside, it's at an uncle's until I can fix the front brakes (the more I look in to it, the less I like the idea of changing the rotors and brake pads).
Basically, I want suggestions- other than "buy a 1992 Accord".
Thanks.
