Seems a little high. Mod'd Honda's are a dime a dozen these days. Any paper proof of the block work? Motor bay looks pretty little sloppy and is usually a sign of sloppy car.

id know im waitin to hear back from him about it.and for the engine bay i was thinkin the same thing,i mean if you got the engine alll built up idont know why he wouldnt take time to run the wires and clean it all up,and the guy says he doesnt drive it in the snow or when there is even salt on then so id hes bein kinda weird about me comin to look at it and test driving it becuase of the weather,but who really knows.ill let you know bout the paper work on the block.
thanks for you help.

I know it looks like a good build, but i'd always be wary of picking up someone's project, and like Daniel said, Honda prices are always inflated.

I'd rather buy a shell and build that motor than buy it completed. I know of several people that have been burned in stuff like this.

7.2k? am i missing something? This is a horrible deal. And i'm sure he's on the pedal all day, i don't care who built that engine. It's been through its paces.

huh, 7k for a fully built sleeved car is pretty cheap IMO. Numbers arnt impressive but seems like a good deal if he has all the receipts.
