After 10 years of being on h-t, I can finally post in the Type-R section... I picked it up from the auction today for $800 before fees (too much?) . I'll post pics as the rebuild progresses. Plans include jdm front end and low boost... I originally planned on painting it is250 green (i hate yellow cars), but that py is growing on me.

 

Looks like it will be a good project. Do it right man!

 

Keep her PY... or at least an OEM ITR Color... just my .02! Not a bad buy! Restore her and Enjoy her!

 

NICE...

 

GL with the build!!

 

Keep her yella! Get a build thread up Good luck with everything!

 

Too much? not at all.. please keep her yellow =D .. you wont regret it in the long run... now entertain me with a build =D

 

keep it phoenix yellow, it will look good with jdm front end!

 

damn you deffinately have your work cut out for you

 

nice too bad they took the doors, would have made things alot easier for you.

 

nice man.. rebuild her and bring her back to life

 

Sell her to me and buy an RS and paint that green
if you keep it dont paint.... but your car do as you will

 

nice! good luck with it!

 

You wouldn't know what the hell to do with that car if you had it. YOU buy an RS and make it look like an ITR, this car is in good hands now.

Deffinitly keep it PY.

 

don't you have like, 38 PY ITRs already?

 

lol... good advice



I have a 98 ls parts car at the shop with doors, mirrors, carpet etc. so all I really need are the big things... front end, suspension/rims, motor, blah.

 

Looks like our "old buddy" is back

 

green is the color of runny boogers and puke....just fyi

 

Nice pickup. That sounds like a good price. Enjoy the build, and good luck. Keep her PY IMO

 

Is that the one from COPART?

 

I got a green RS shell for sale. lol. You got your hands full but, keep it PY and good luck with the build

 

Nah... It came from a local onsite only salvage auction... I wouldn't be surprised to see an R shell go for $1500+ at copart.

 

Good price for a real R. As a Py owner, paint it. Just make sure they don't leave any of the old yellow behind.

 

Nice purchase, i picked up a py shell myself in the same condition. Lot of work ahead of you, good luck.

 

I have to paint it myself, which is why it's 99% likely to stay yellow. I don't look forward to stripping and painting engine bays or trunk jams (even with the thieves taking care of the majority of work)
