5 years of hibernation weren't too bad to her:

Just a lil dusty, now time to clean her up and put her back together.


I'll be updating this post as the restoration proceeds.

 

This is what you have been hiding?

Her nose is gorgeous.

 

Wats the reason for having it sit for so long? Mine has been sitting for 5 months and it's already driving me crazy because I want to take it out for a spin. I couldn't imagine 5 years

 

good morning dragon!! lol maybe he was away from school? may i ask where you had it stored that it was literally un touched for five years? was it in a giant safe or something?

 

I put it in storage because I was tired of not being able to drive it anywhere without worrying it would be gone when I came back outside. At the time I also picked up an S4, had that for a few years and then sold it and bought my current ride a 350Z roadster. Just got the itch to Drive the R again after being on here again after a 3 year hiatus from HT.

Its in my Family's shop and well gaurded

 

Looks good even tho it's dusty as :D

 

let the good times roll brother...

 

MOAR PICS!!!!



i want some more info on this thing! literally not started in 5 years? i want a picture the second that entire car cover is off, a picture of it out in the light as soon as it gets outside or in really good lighting....and then a picture once that dirty b!tch has had her *** waxed for hours.....

oo0o0o0o0o0 so dirty........

 

Hey boston! Im just north of you lol. Nice R! Hope to see it.

 

nice R. hit me up if anything poppin in mass. i work at boch if you need some honda connections.

 

Emerging from the Batcave. Nice.

 

More pics, please!?

May I ask how this caR was prepped for storage?

Was it really not started for five full years?

 

Holy mother trucking dust! Keep her safe! ITR thefts are still very prominent!!

 

Wow I thought you sold the pos. Good to see that you still have it.

You going to bring it to exblow?

 

Git R on the road.

 

geez...deff need some more shot of her before and after the clean up

 

I just started to roam these forums again after being involved in the Suby community for the past 4 years and recognized your SN (ips from back in the day), glad to know you still have an R waiting!

 

Its like a time capsule, pretty cool.

 

Wow, was the front of the cover up the whole time, or did it collect that dust through the cover?...or perhapse covered after it was dirty? lol. What are your plans?

 

Yup, about 5 years ago maybe 6, I think I put it in storage roughly around the time that I brought the Spoon ITR that Wai now owns to Expo 4 ( I think 4, man its been a long time)

This is what it used to look like although at one point it had the Mugen Wing, SW388's and a few other goodies.

Sadly I sold a bunch of the add ons, except the power parts and with the exchange rates to bring it back to what it was I'll be paying out the Azz lol.

 

Appreciate the offer, I may take you up on this for some odds and ends.

 

If all goes well yeah thats what I would like to do. No couldn't bring myself to sell it, also still have the 2000 PY ITR I bought from Onyx R years and years ago.

That is Me I also just got back on here. Was on a 350Z site for a bit but back here again because its really nice to see the old faces again.

It was for a little while but when I lifted the cover up a ton of dust came off onto the car.
