Congrats on your purchase. Keep us updated. This thread is worthless without pictures but

 

welcome, got pics? and if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it?

 

Ash has a '96-'97 JDM Type-R swap for $3,000 with very minor problems. That would complete your car rather quickly.

Pictures?

 

Unfortunately, banks are closed tomorrow as well.

Guy wanted 9500 and when i looked at it i could tell why he wanted for 9500. that was the cleanest integra i ever seen. only 40K miles. but i nego him to 8400 plus a 99 civic complete front end with the rad support and 99 si front and rear seats. trust me that car was mint.

plus i looked up black type r shell before i went to get this one. i seen one salvage title for 8700 FIRM

RPRacing was selling a clean title JDM front NHBP shell, everything minus the swap for $9000.

Only thing I don't like about the one you are getting is the salvaged title.

Aww, there's no other kind of feeling in the world than buying a Type R shell and building it from scratch...even better when it has a clean title.
