Hey folks.
I have been daily driving this thing for the past five years. It's build thread is documented pretty well here
https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/2015-challenge-entry-88-accord-lxi/100071/page1/
I drive it eighty miles per day. I have replaced tons of things. All with the intent of keeping it going well, and permanently, for me to continue to drive. It needs tires, and the check engine light comes on if you coast in gear, and cruise doesn't work, the dash lights flicker at night, but literally everything else is fine. It has MINI 16" wheels with a cool Honda logo on each centercap, and some fun stickers.
It's a turbo/nitrous and some low away from being a real Radwood challenger.
It's a little TLC away from being a cool daily driver.
It's tires away from being a great first car for your kid/nephew/niece.
Lots of pics in the thread, I'll take more soon.

Gosh Facebook buyers are weird
"hey, is it still for sale?"
"yes"
"can you send a pic of [thing]?"
::sends pic::
"great, do you have a [thing]?"
"yes"
"Great when can we meet for me to look at it?"
[days and times]
::crickets::
Someone from GRM buy this to let me avoid the nonsense. No reasonable offer refused.
Can we get some basics with out reading a 36 page build thread.
Manual or Auto, Mileage, color of display on the stereo.

Sure.
1988 Accord LX-i, fuel injected, manual 5 speed. Lots of good parts, lots of new parts, I drove it eighty miles every day to work and back for months, and I've owned it for five yearsish.
Can't really tell what you're asking on the stereo, it has an aftermarket CD player. The front speakers are great, the rear are not.
So what exactly is your definition of a reasonable offer? Bud Light? Old Milwaukee? Mad Dog 20/20?

In reply to Klayfish :
I've spent 1800 or so via the build thread. I'd love to get that back out.
Not that I should be asking, but it might help other buyers—where is this seafoam dream located?

Still nothing? I knew it was esoteric, but I didn't realize it was totally worthless.

Does South Carolina mean no rust?
Also how does the paint look in person as far as orange peel etc? I didn't read through the whole build thread yet.

No rust to speak of.
I did the paint. it's okay. Some peel and the roof could use better clearcoat.

In fairness, you could also be describing the paint job on a brand new Chevrolet with that statement...
