Default Just picked up a theft recover'd 99 Ls

I thought i was done with the honda scene when i sold my Ek, but i saw this dc4(i learn something new from this thread) at the junkyard for sale. It had potential so i bought it. It was a stolen recovery 1999 Ls with a missing JDM front and broken ignition. Everything else still there. Here's some pics. Enjoy









ps i guess the car was local because there's a sticker that says "sdcs escondido". I met a dude last night that said he knew the person who owned it before it got bang'd. He said the dude took care of the car very well.

Going w/ the JDM front again? You could probably sell it for more than you bought it for if you play up the "JDM ready-ness" of it.

Good find.

It comes from the beginning of the VIN

GS-R's and Type-R's (VTEC engines) are DC2, every other 3rd gen integra is a DC4 (LS,RS,GS,S.E.)

damn..good find. Side moldings are already shaved as well...all you need is a painted front end and you're all good! How much did you get it for if you dont mind me asking?

Before i started spending all kinds of money..

I would do the following..
- Get a car alarm with remote paging
- Wire up a fuel kill switch
- Possibly a detachable steering wheel

Or it's gonna end up how it was when you went to pick it up..

Nice car though

that was the first thing i was gonna do after i get it running is
alarm
unhook keyhole hinges
disable the lock/unlock switch
relocate the hood latch from the fenders (that was how they pop the hood becasue it was cut there)
