epitome of clean: 93egallmotor's 94 sol build 2011
* UPDATES ON EVERY PAGE*
some of you may remember my k20 eg build.., here----->https://honda-tech.com/forums/appearance-build-threads-122/nice-nicer-93-dx-k20-build-shave-2726466/
sold that old girl to start a new build...wasnt sure what to do though. i knew i always wanted a sol, and after seeing the lack of quality in the sol community i figured id step the game up. found a rust free, completey bone stock, and unmolested 94 vtec model del sol in va. Got a great deal on it(previous owner nailed a deer)....anyway i wanted to keep it as clean and jdm inspired as possible. so here we go!
day one....how i picked her up
FIRST THINGS FIRST! had to fix the deer damage, so naturally i jest went ahead and got some JDM 1 piece headlights, new sheet metal and i always loved the 96-97 front bumbers so i picked up an new from honda! i also had to get the rad support pulled to line everything up just right

so next, i had to choose some suspension and wheels....spent alot of time on these to make a final decision...i knew i wanted some real jdm wheels and ive never had nice suspension, so i went with function and form type1's, and blox lca's....also, at this point its was time to tear the rest of the car down for the color change, undecided on a color until i get the wheels on though
then i found a decent deal on one of my favorite sets of wheels. jdm enkei jspeed IIIs
16x7.5 +36 up front. 16x8 +28 in the rear
money*

the seats were beat, as usual....so got a local hot rod shop to recover them.
now it's time to start on the bodywork and the bay/tuck....big thanks to EGVTEC for all his help with the body work/ paint work...this is currently where im at at this point in time!

started on my b16 harness a few days ago
and generally this is how a swap looks when it leaves my house( not mine, my cousins ls/v) using the same prep method and paint though, this is just and example
slim fan showed up as well, gotta love that for 20 bux!
im still undecided on a VC color/ design...any input?

there are many very quality del sol's. not sure what you're talking about.
i like the 97 front and the paint color. not feeling the 16x8s in the rear though.
hope this lives up to the title. good luck.
