so i have a 97 del sol s that i loved until my garage door took out the front half of it. I didnt want to replace the parts with aftermarket stuff so i started to look for oem parts. Then i was on craigslist and found a shell for $400. I called the guy up and he said it was his kids car but he wanted it out of his garage and he had a title for it. i asked him what shape the nose was in and he said good condition. I took the hour ride down to look at it and found a 93 del sol si with 4 si seats and a whole crap load of parts. It came with 4 fat 5's and webs on it. It has tokico struts and coils. The interior was removed but still had it and all the trim was removed to check for rust. My heart wanted to offer him 250 lol but i couldnt do it. When i got it home and cleaned up from all the tree mold i found this beautiful samba green paint (refer to picture). So now i am gonna strip my 97 s and put my minime in the 93 and run that lol.[IMG][/IMG]

 

You gont yourself one great deal man!!! Good luck with the swap

 

the only thing i dont understand about the car is that there is no place for the marker plate on the back. I will take a picture of the rear of the car when i get home. Where the plate is suppose to be has been filled in. I think it looks cool just not sure where to put the plate now. I will prolly end up taking the bracket off of my car. Just wondering if any one has seen this before?

 

oh and my last question is can you change the ignition switch with out the old key?

 

Hey would you sell the extra seats?

 

yeah pm me and here is a picture of the rear i was talking about

Yeah, that license plate fill is kinda a gross mod, but sounds like you got a great deal, good luck putting it all together!

 

Wow what a steal. Do not part that thing out please!

 

yeah def not. there arent very many samba green hondas left nevermind sols

 

im interested in the samba seats if they are for sale

 

so i started to remove the trim and found a rust hole in the top left of the A pillar. The windsheild was pitted anyway so i removed it and found a few small holes. I blasted the area and cleaned it up and sprayed this liquid from eastwood that acts like spray foam but then when it dries it dries it shrinks to cover just the metal to stop the rusting on the inside. Then i used lead free body solder to fill the holes and completed it with a small bit of light weight filler no just need to sand and block the rest of the car and she'll be ready for a fresh coat of paint. I also stripped the interior out besides the door panels.

 

Tonight i pulled the a/c coil out from under the dash and pushed the wire harness back through behind the blower motor. I started to make a new wireharness that was the exact length for every object. I removed the pass side fender so i can run the wires all stealthy and stuff lol.

They dont make a del sol SI in a 93. SI did not start on the del sol until 94

 

i thought that any del sol with rear disc was si? i am probably wrong but just wondering

 

True but be sure there wasnt a conversion. I can be done pretty easy. But if you look at the Del Sol/CRX manuel, you'll notice the Del Sol SI didnt start IN AMERICA until 94

 

sorry meant to say IT can be done

 

i saw this but i couldnt figure it out cuz it has factory cruise and 4 wheel disc brakes. When i researched it i found that no s option car was equiped with cruise or do you think that info was wrong? not being a smart *** i am just trying to learn

 

Oh no I dont think you're being a smart ***. Im trying to learn to. Ive seen alot of 93 SI comments and such and Im almost positive this is wrong. Are you sure its not a 94?

 

this is wrong they made a si and s in 93, then in 94 they had the s si and vtec model

 

Just curious, what motor is in it? Ive never heard of a z6 in a 93 nor si with a d15. Im confused on this whole 93 SI thing

 

mmm samba green is nice

 

I be had 5 sols and the S were drum brakes. And they are all wired up for vtech.
I m interested in your old shell after your swapping is done. Where in CA. Are you

 

im in ct lol and there was no motor in it when i bought it and i havent checked the vin to see what engine code is in it.

 

nice find bro, for the price you can lose.

 

I saw the Jet ski in background and thought it was CA and looked again and its a CT. Lol
