The Honda Accord Type R project has taken another unexpected turn, and honestly, I'm starting to question whether this car is even worth saving!
After discovering that the engine suffered a piston ring failure in cylinder 4, we've been working through the process of stripping the car down and getting the engine out. But as we dig deeper into the project, it looks like the engine problems might not be the only thing we need to worry about.
We're now uncovering some seriously concerning rust and what appear to be bodged repairs from the car's past. The more we investigate, the more questions we're left asking about the condition of this Accord Type R and what previous owners have done to it.
It's one thing dealing with a failed engine, but when you start finding unexpected rust and questionable repairs on top of everything else, the cost and effort of bringing a car back to life can quickly spiral out of control.
In this episode, we take a closer look at the problems we've uncovered, investigate the condition of the car, and start questioning whether this Honda Accord Type R is worth the time, money and effort needed to save it.
Do we push on and try to bring this Type R back to its former glory, or have we reached the point where the problems are simply too much? I don't want to give up on the car, but at some point, we have to be realistic about what we're dealing with.
Let me know in the comments what you would do. Would you keep fighting to save this Accord Type R, or would the rust and bodged repairs be enough to make you walk away?
