Default New to me Sol in the House

Brought home another sol, (the red one) last night, just wanted to share, it needs a lot of work, but someone has already done a swap on it, it has a b16 in it, suppose to have had some differnt pistons and stuff put in it, but I'm not sure, just now checking it out. any chance of saving that hood? it's a vis.

nice... take the hood to a body shop. they can wet sand it and re-clear it. looks like a good project and a pretty clean swap.

Thanks for the comments guys, it's a 94 si and I found it on craigslist about 4 hrs away, I gave 2500 didn't even drive it, just loaded up on the trailer and brought it home. It didn't have the rotas on it, I just put them on it yesterday, I may have aproblem though, the car is setup for drag, and I think it must have a spool in the tranny, when you turn, it's jumps like a 4wd, so I may have a little work to do before she hits the street, I figured the engine swap and complete dc stainless exhaust was worth what I gave for it. I've been trying to get hold of the guy who built it, to find out more about the engine. The guy I got it from knew nothing about it except it was a project.
