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.

Damnn what a come up....
Damnn what a come up....
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)
