What do you love most about this car?

[@whatheavensaid]

My first car was a 1981 Honda Accord in the U.S. I loved how it rode low. It was many years old when I bought it and still ran great! Also, the previous owner put a coconut air freshener inside. I will ALWAYS remember that. ❤

[@kiddream5749]

My first car was a 08 accord

[@florriealexander1295]

Very cool car! I love Hondas. I currently drive a 2005 CR-V with a 5 speed manual gearbox myself! Great car! Manufactured in the UK as a matter of fact! My mom had a 1985 Prelude back in the day. Her's was an automatic but it was one of my favorite cars we ever owned!

Thanks Shane. Here's a walk around of my last resto. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5uwY4lofJyLpM0

[@Dsheppleston]

Awesome 👍 well done and looks really. I too own an Accord, but mine is the hatch version on an 81 plate. I’ve restored mine too but only as far as the ‘used’ look. I wanted to keep mine as original as possible. It’s my daily driver now and it brings a smile to my face every time I get in it.

[@MimmsHondaDay]

Nice 👍🏻

Simon helps me keep my old VW camper on the road and his work is exceptional. I've seen this car in various stages of its restoration over a few years and it really is a credit to him and all the the hours he's put in, in-between all the day to day work he does. Top job fella!

Thanks Guy. Might finally get to have a chat with you at a show this year!

[@robertconnolly2016]

Unreal car in person. Probably my favourite Honda. - I saw it at its worst and I must admit ... I did think it would never get done as it was a proper state. Went back to the garage a few months later and it was all painted up ?! Amazing work. Amazing attention to detail and its the little things like the attention on the bumpers, lip spoiler etc that set it apart from anything else. Stunning car.

[@MimmsHondaDay]

It’s an amazing build 👍🏻

Hi, did you ever needed to replace the wiper blades on this accord? They have a very unique side pin fixing type and I am strugling to find a replacement for my one. What a great car and nice video btw well done

[@angelodimas4116]

This is my first car but it’s the hatch back. Currently it has problems with the power steering but hopefully it’s back on the road soon

[@MimmsHondaDay]

Hello, thank you for your efforts. Please, I need parts for a 1979 Honda Accord, can you help me? I'm from Morocco

[@DOLARDIS]

just noticed your one has a U hook type standart wiper arms and blades.Are they aftermarket?

[@DOLARDIS]

Where you wiper blades like this when you got the car or you converted to U hook type from original side pin ?
