"just a bit of body reshaping"
If just a bit means reshaping an entire front 1/4 of the car, then yes, piece of cake.
When I head out to VA I kinda want to stop and look at it. It's a mess, but if like, $7500 or something takes it, then it's a mess I may be ready to try.[/QUOTE]
So this is kind of sad... here's the 'For sale' thread for this NSX on ebay here..
[url]http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php/82012-1991-NSX-Black-black-Vin-JH4NA115XMT000805[/url]
It was posted in april 2007, and the photos of it smashed on ebay are dated 12/31/07
That means some jackass bought this dude's baby and destroyed it before 2008 even rolled around.
I also forgot that the NSX has an aluminum frame.. I can't cut and weld that. Not as alluring anymore.

I wish I had a job about now because this is essentially the only one in my area for sale at the moment.
Why is your avatar look so sad while she's dancing? She must not be doing the yosakoi.
could i get some advice and input on this car?

No. Any sort of removable top will always eventually leak. Only a matter of time.
[QUOTE=>VLN<;45884098]No. Any sort of removable top will always eventually leak. Only a matter of time.[/QUOTE]
That's just not true, especially of cars with hard tops (ie. targa tops and t-tops). Some earlier designs were crap but ultimately their failure is due to dried up rubber (which can happen to anything that is sealed with rubber, including frameless windows).
[QUOTE=>VLN<;45884098]No. Any sort of removable top will always eventually leak. Only a matter of time.[/QUOTE]
Del Sol's don't have a serious issue with leaking tops. Hondas just have issues with tail light gaskets, hatchback seals, hatch seam sealer, sunroof drains and wiper cowls leaking.

Looks pretty clean actually, low miles for a Del Slow and has the D15B7 in a manual which gets the insane mileage. It's basically a 92-95 Civic which is also basically a 94-01 Integra so all your suspension is the same. That's a very good price as Del Sol prices have gone up with the Honda tax.

Go drive it and the input will be there. They call em del-slows for a reason. The automatic is just straight undrivable, but the manual puts a crutch that allows you to stay in second gear to at least get up to freeway speed (if it even will). It looks like a sports car, but it isn't...
Plus every surface of the car that you are near is window, so you better have thick skin.

The D15B2/B7 is pretty damn slow but it has no issues doing 110+ or making it to freeway speeds. It's roughly as fast a older cummins or a older powerstroke as I've pulled ever so slightly beside both in my hatch with the DPFI. The automatic however is the most horrible slushbox you will ever drive and gives you absolutely no input on if it's even accelerating. I would never wish someone the displeasure of a d series automatic.
It's far from fast but it's perfect for what it is which is a peppy economic car which will happily accept any abuse you give it.
This poor thing. I bet the hood scoops are fake too.

Jesus who put those on there...
It looks nice, though. Get those scoops off of there and put a good fitting rim/tire package on there and it'd be nice.
It looks nicely done but...eugh. It's also an auto which kinda kills the whole point of that car for me. :v:

That's one way to cover a cracked dash I guess. Recycled carpet everywhere from autozone I don't agree with, but everything else is not too awful. I'd likely commute with it no problem. While the scoops might be fake at least they look like they actually fit, not just off the shelf - but they still look off, and what is the 2+2 thing? Is that a twin 2bbl carb setup?

Means it has rear seats.
[QUOTE=Metallica;45924304]Means it has rear seats.[/QUOTE]
lame. On murican cars it's usually the carb setup, 4+4 = 2 four barrels... etc...

This guy put that blue sedan Lincoln back up with a small price cut. What's stupid is that he conveniently left out all of the rust pics this time and then asks for 'no time wasters'

Because it's very good looking.
I get the impression that you're someone who hates a car because you're told you hate it, not because you actually hate it.
I like Ford probes, but I don't know if I like them enough to actually buy one.
