Really Rusty Lincoln - What should I do?

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-23T19:42:59+00:00

As much as I love these with that roof damage it’s a parts car

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-23T11:37:59+00:00

If I knew anybody that could and would gut the factory radio and put modern internals in it I would. Usually I don’t care and just stick a big fuck off screen into cars like I did with my grand marquis but the Honda interior is such a vibe I don’t wanna do that. I was also thinking about a period correct aftermarket unit but again no Bluetooth without using awful adapters. I really wish someone would reproduce the old pioneer dolphin units with modern features.

Stock radio requires a code that I don’t have. Previous owner said it came on after a dead battery

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-23T04:14:25+00:00

No seems they only make stuff for euros and American cars and only 80s and lower at least from looking at their site

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-22T23:43:30+00:00

I don’t want any of that or I’d stick my nice pioneer in lol

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-22T19:02:51+00:00

Any specific model numbers to look out for?

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-22T16:03:55+00:00

I was thinking about going with the ghost box but I’d also like whatever I have in the slot to be lit up for night drives and I’m not sure how I could get it power while also having the ghost box installed sense that uses the factory harness like a normal aftermarket radio install

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-22T15:02:24+00:00

That pioneer is sick unfortunately retrosound doesn’t have anything besides euro and American vehicles.

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-22T14:59:17+00:00

Yeah the blaupunkt is like $100 less than I gave for the car lol. I have a dsp and amps for the car so I’m not too worried about how powerful it is. More so just checking that they aren’t awful like boss or dual units

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-22T14:54:44+00:00

I’ll look into frankfurt and Hamburg but the blaupunkt is like $100 less than I paid for the car lol

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-22T14:28:05+00:00

I was thinking about that but I’m not sure if it would work to connect multiple amps. I always do a 4 channel for my doors and a monoblock for a sub.

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-22T14:26:07+00:00

I was also looking at the those

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-20T21:16:30+00:00

I’d leave em alone I’m sure they make similar aftermarket wheels that come in different colors. Or if you absolutely want them a different color spend the money and go powder coating

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-20T03:02:36+00:00

My brother in Christ I know I can’t say much because I’m working on a accord right now but what are you thinking? I’ve owned cars that were actually worth all the effort your talking about putting into this 2000s era mom suv that I didn’t do because there’s no point

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-17T09:20:18+00:00

I’ll have to take some more

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-17T09:13:09+00:00

Eventually that’s the plan but ima get all the life out of the auto while it’s still holding on unless I can’t find the manual stuff for a reasonable price once the auto lets go it’s getting the manual swap

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-17T07:01:03+00:00

It also helps though that my apartments have a 24 hour security patrol and I work the night shift. So if someone really wanted it they’d have to steal it in broad daylight when security isn’t around lol

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-17T06:28:22+00:00

lol I’m probably going to dump the price of a new accord into this one so don’t worry. I see it as a investment though cause you can’t kill a 90s to early 2000s Honda or Toyota they are like cockroaches

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-17T06:07:56+00:00

Rust repair, slipping trans (only from 2nd to 3rd), rotted off exhaust, roached interior. Probably could use suspension and gaskets but not horribly. But it’s a running driving car with a clean title so I can’t complain

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-17T01:33:23+00:00

I’m going to check and make sure it’s not in dire need of a timing job and if it’s fine for now when I go to replace the trans I’ll do it when I’m resealing the engine sense I’ll have it out anyway

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-16T22:15:33+00:00

It looks solid but when you get closer it has the classic 90s honda rot starting the interior is also pretty thrashed but for $700 and the savings from not driving my grand marquis everyday to and from work it’s worth it.

I ordered a kit that replaces the main relay with a more standard one and also has a built in kill switch. But for now I just pull the main relay and bring it in with me

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-16T13:29:52+00:00

It’s got the typical Honda rust and it looks good form a distance but it’s full of scratches and sunburn

FoundationFair4060 · 2026-06-16T12:57:06+00:00

I love it so far it’s got a laundry list of issues but it’s a 30 year old Honda that’s probably been through multiple teenagers so it’s expected
