Default Rebuilding 97 ITR

I recently purchased a 97 ITR shell The car was putchased in late 97. The car was stolen about a year later and stripped. A local shop owner purchased it in 2000 to restore it and never got around to it. I bought this last month. I purchased a JDM front with MINT OEM HID headlights. (only put the jdm front on since it is a theft title) The car has been at the paint shop and should be done this upcoming week.

Geez, stolen and stripped after only a year. Must have been one of the first ITR thefts.

PM me the VIN and we can find the badge # if you'd like.

Best of luck with the rebuild....'97 front would have been nice

I would put a 97 front if it at least had a clean title and had matching vins. I would rather make it look the way i want it.

yes i was testing waters on the ssbp integra. I had a few offers but really couldnt let it go. Lots of hard work and money was put into that car. I built it from the ground up. The R is going to be even more of a challenge though!!

cant wait to see this build. im subsrcibed. do whatever you want to with the caR. a 97 front would be cool, but i have a jdm front on my 97 as well. i wouldnt do the conversion on a clean title (previous owner did it to mine) but i agree with you, its a salvage title so its all fair game!
