Just bought my first Honda in about 5 years. A rusted out 1993 Del Sol S, minor problems for $600 from a good friend. No big plans (Im still a student) , but I’ll take it as it goes, figured I’d start a progress thread. Pics below of my previous Honda then the Sol. No busting ***** on the lambo doors, that was a while ago, and it was before they were played out. Ha ha

Look forward to resurrecting this thing,



Only found one of the civic...more to come of the Sol

 

wow nice thread.........................

from rags to riches....but no big plans

 

I'm buying stock in Bondo.

 

my buddy has bought 4 del sols in the past 2 years all for under 400 each. id say u got ripped off. you can get better than that for cheaper. lots of body work involved their. hope you ressurect her and save her from the yard but damn that pass side is shot.
good luck man

nice find dude, I sold my old del sol for 1500 with a shitty D15b haha

just fix the rust and just swap the body part's that can be swapped

 

There you go, hah. Little more suitable.

That Civic looks to be at earliest a 2001. I argue that lambo doors were played out by that point.

Good luck on the del Sol. Looks like you'll need it.

 

Dont make it look like that poor EK... body kits and lambo doors... your just making your civic something its not. Honda put millions into R & D that includes aero too.. the stock body kit is fine.. and you add weight with body kits...

 

no **** the body is bad... unless your a body man its gonna cost you. thats alot of rust. wonder what the under body and other parts look like

 

ww.car-part.com

You're going to need that.

 

holy crap, that sol looks wasted.

Good luck man.

 

i'm in the same boat as you bro. picked up a black 94 sol si....quarter panels are toast, and under trim....by the sideskirts. as well as surface rust.
i'll be investing in a welder, as well as saving to buy replacement body panelling.....and then off to a body shop to get painted.

 

looks like someone had big fmic up front, I bet they dogged that poor little delslow. But the body dose not look 100% bad you have common rot that is repairable.

 

Thanks a lot, I’ve never seen this. Already found some parts.

 

The only reason I actually bought this was that I know the last owner of nine years. Female driver, with a family of mechanics (just not body guys, lol).

Ill be cutting it up asap, finding new quarters, rockers, doors, trunk. Im also trying to piece together a j-swap. Im not trying to show the car, my goal is just to have a quick sol, thats not going to cost me a lot. Once the body is repaired, it shouldn’t look that bad, or fall apart, it looks pretty solid minus the quarters and doors.

Ill post pics up, once i get started.Thanks for the positive comments.

 

Keep me updated, finding parts is kind of fun, lol

 

Young and dumb, what could I say. Maybe they just weren’t played in New York
