Was looking through Lens website the other day at ITR parts and thought about this...

Has anyone ever thought about purchasing all new body parts (1/4 panels, roof, floor, bulkhead, etc) and building a brand new chassis? Would cost more than buying a shell, but it'd be cool as crap on cheese if you could actually do it.

Discuss.

I don't really see why would someone want to do it.
Just my .02

Would cost way too much.

Exactly

 

Yeah it'd cost a lot, but if you can weld well, that would save you some. And you would have a chassis that has zero wear on it. Would be good for a race car if you don't have a hassle due to the date of manufacture since there wouldn't really be one. Don't think it would be a problem to register one. Just register it like a kit car?

 

You can't actually buy a new chassis/frame. You'd still need an existing itr to start with.

But if you bought all the parts new from Acura, plus shipping (cuz I know Len doesn't have everything in stock), might as well buy an ITR.

 

itr's arent like the cars on "overhaulin" and "wrecks to riches" well not yet anyways becaus unfortuanitly theres a good quanity of itr shells for sale from theft


now when our cars are classics and were paying 100k for an itr 40 years down the road then buying all new 1/4 panels etc might be the only option becaus there will be alot less shells/fixer upper itr's

 

Would be fun if you had cash to blow and time to spare...

 

Lets get in touch with Overhauling. Lord knows enough are stolen, it would be brutal on an owner but with OUR input (I'l volunteer to help rebuild someone's R) we can get someone going asap!

 

Too old and not worth the time.
Spend you hard earn money on something new and more advance.
