Hey fellas (please recognize this as a generic term that includes any females on this forum ).

I've been out of the game for a couple years... I've been itching to have another Honda and this became available for a rediculously low price.
So, here's my new project. Pretty much the plan is just to restore it... any mods are currently up in the air.

Leaving the shop I bought it from:






Both sides and the back end are in good shape:




The SOHC monster


A lot to do

agreed, but if you can get that front end/frame back to par than that'd be one good restoration. other than the front, it looks like you've got a pretty decent car on your hands.

good luck dude

 

yeah, there's quite a bit of work to do... but I got it for $300

Plus, my pops is a genious when it comes to body work. See his previous project here.

 

thats awesome, well good luck to ya - wish i could get another ej8...gotta pay off some bills first though

I guess you can't beat it for $300, but your pops better know how to do a lot of Tech work, and have A LOT of time on his hands

 

worth 300 bucks to me...good deal you got Its gonna take some work, but if you dont think it can be saved or you can do it...you could just part it out for more money then you spent on the whole car

even w/ all that damage 300 seems like a good deal! wtg man! good luck redoing that front

 

thanks all.

Pops is semi-retired now, currently just building his new garage.
I'm not in a super hurry to get this done, but I would like to be driving it within 6 months or so.

I figured the same thing... if we get into it and it's too much trouble I could easily part it out for more than I paid.
I'll post updates as I go.

 

hell yeah, Coupes arre where its at man. You need a sunroof glass for it? I got a oem one ill sell ya

It was open when the accident happened... the battery hasn't been hooked back up to avoid the possibility of any type of electrical short. Once we start tearing into things I'll get it closed back up.

Wowzers. Good luck man. Can't wait to see its progress

 

looks like a good candidate for a RHD car!

 

Looks like you got yourself a 300$ hooker right there. With a little bit of lovin' she'll be just fine.

Good luck Jake. I want to see updates!!!

 

Your pops may be good with body work, but you're going to need a frame alignment rack for that. I guarantee that the frame rail is smashed horribly on that one.

Youd be better off parting the car out. There's probably $1000 in parts in that car easy.

Either way good luck with it.
