The engine and tranny in my Accord are all original and working great. But
I am in Canada, so there may be complications in getting a rust-free body up
from the U.S. south.

Update: The loud exhaust note became even louder today (it's loud enough to
make a ricer proud), and fuel is now leaking ever so slightly from
underneath (near the front of the left rear tire). I'm going to get those
problems fixed tomorrow, even if it means going to any mechanic and getting
cheap (i.e. short-term) parts.

And then it looks like I will be looking for a newer car. *sigh*

Thanks for the responses.
