Default $800 and many dollars later...

Well, I picked up my 1994 Del Sol in September for $800 in just a stripped shell with 4 steelies. Body was banged up but had no rust. I did most of the work on it with the help of my brother and our crew. I sourced out all the interior parts and seats. There was no motor in it so in went the B16a3 with a P30 ECU. Wish I had pictures of how I picked it up but I don't. So these are the pictures of how it sits today.






So far, my mods are:
Toda Racing Header (very hard to get, I held on to this when my brother got rid of his Si)
Tanabe Racing Medallion cat-back
Password JDM 3 Point front strut bar
Password JDM intake (saved it with the header from my brother's Si)
Type R lip


What's on it's way:
JDM front bumper/Fenders/sides
JDM Headlights/tailights
CTR steering wheel

Future Plans:
B16b CTR motor
Glass top
Mugen CF48
Tein Monoflex coilovers
Upgrade brakes


Yeah, this may seem far fetched but I'll keep you all posted.

I got the stock del vol Vtech seats which were in great condition. A buddy of mine with a Del Sol had his seats reupholstered and they looked great. I'll be having him do mine so it'll be black leather.

I paid $500 for all the interior pieces, $100 for the 2 seats. $1200 for the B16A3 with ecu and tranny. And about another $1,000 for the cat-back, strut bar and Type R lip. I also traded my Wii for a set of 14 in stock wheels powder coated in black.

Sure, if you want them, I'll let you know when I'm ready to get rid of them. They're covered in a fresh coat of paint.
