Bad News.

Well somehow my wheel fell off. I'm thinking that someone loosened the lug nuts because there is no way they can just come loose on their own. I did feel that something was wrong but I thought I broke a strut or something so I was driving home very slow at around 30 km/h. Then the car just dropped to the ground it was my front left tire. I just saw the tire roll off into the ditch. We just jacked it back up and tightened the bolts back on the tire and went home slowly.




So we got it home with some damage to the fender as the wheel came off. So I went to the junkyard and got a new fender for 25 bucks.



Next we bought some paint and I sanded the fender down.



Then we took off the fender from my car.




Tested out the new fender on it.



Looks good so far so I painted the fender.




Then put it on the car after I finished painting it.




Didn't turn out like i thought it wasn't very glossy and it is quite noticeable.


But it did make it road legal again so it was okay for now.

New Radio

Then while I was waiting for my insurance to go through I bought a new radio. That was 160 dollars.

Buying the car

This is a blog on my Honda Accord 1996. First off I bought this car for 300 dollars. Not very much rust. Only a cracked windshield to pass safety.



Then I did some work to it for it to pass safety. I put about 800 dollars into the car. 300 for the windshield and the rest was into suspension.
