Well, what do you guys think about this one. How much do you think it would cost to bring it back? If the restoration isnt going to be that much then I think I would buy it. It shouldn't cost me more than $2000. Tell me what you guys think....

 

That in my opion would be a great track car. Just through experience, its really hard to place a cap on budget when restoring a vehicle, especially with OE new parts. You may want to look at this as a hobby and just for fun, if you can keep it under a certain dollar than so be it, but it will take alot of time. Saving money = more time, spending money = more time. Good luck if you do proceed with the purchase and keep us updated.

 

Yea I was thinking about just getting a b18c5 with low miles, boosting it, and just completly gutting the interior. Ill keep you guys updated though

 

Well at least you don't have much to do in the "completly gutting the interior" area

 

Buying used parts here and there I would say about 12k. GL.

 

all you need is an engine, 1 seat, used integra LS bumpers and fenders, 4 lug susp and youve got yourself a nice ride.

 

this is exactly what i have debating on the past few days. i found a shell for like 1500 that looks like yours.
i can pick up suspension with wheels for like 1000-1500 at very most.
interior will be cheap, ive got a set of front ITR seats in my basement.
just need a door and all the front end pieces.

then the motor, which will be the most of the money.
got a GSR head in my garage too, so a bottom end, and tranny

all in all i think i can have a running R for like 5k total investment.

 

yup, i'd buy that and fix it if it were in my area

 

Bring that baby back to life!

 

That is really nice! I'd totally buy it

 

if you can get a good price on it, i'd get it

 

The body's very clean, that saves $$$

 

perfect for a JDM front end

 

Looks like a perfect candidate for a resurrection. Bring her back to life.

There are things you can scimp on like the exterior pieces and the interior pieces but if your going to bring her back, put the proper heart back in her too - B18C5 baby

hey, just drop that off at my house if you change your mind, i have 5lug and a motor for it

 

buy it and re-build if its your hobby., and have the heart for it. if your just looking for a bargain and a R your better off searching the clasifieds for a good used one.

 

unless you've got insane hookups, that's gonna cost you a lot more than $2k, try maybe 10 or 12k. The motor alone would put you well past your $2k budget. Also, resale on it would be next to nothing as the buyer would be reluctant to buy a salvage title R no matter how restored it is. I think you'd have better luck restoring a gsr or ls. However, if you've got money to spare and you want to do it as a hobby, go for it.

 

My car started off as a theft recovered vehicle.....alot of patience and 2 years later....Booyah!
P.S. i got an extra CW hatch for sale if interested-minus the wing!

 

id pick it up and bring it back to life!!! cost all depends on what parts you buy (new/used) and the labor. if you can do it by yourself then i would most def. pick it up. maybe this can be a little inspiration to you. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=941805 i built this car with all new acura oem parts. acura interior parts is not cheap.., gonna cost you bout 1700 for all new panels, dash, carpet, etc...

Looks like it will cost more than $2000 to put back together.

He's talking about the price of the shell for $2000! Not the over all price for the rebuild.
