* UPDATES ON EVERY PAGE*

some of you may remember my k20 eg build.., here----->https://honda-tech.com/forums/appearance-build-threads-122/nice-nicer-93-dx-k20-build-shave-2726466/


sold that old girl to start a new build...wasnt sure what to do though. i knew i always wanted a sol, and after seeing the lack of quality in the sol community i figured id step the game up. found a rust free, completey bone stock, and unmolested 94 vtec model del sol in va. Got a great deal on it(previous owner nailed a deer)....anyway i wanted to keep it as clean and jdm inspired as possible. so here we go!

day one....how i picked her up





FIRST THINGS FIRST! had to fix the deer damage, so naturally i jest went ahead and got some JDM 1 piece headlights, new sheet metal and i always loved the 96-97 front bumbers so i picked up an new from honda! i also had to get the rad support pulled to line everything up just right

 

so next, i had to choose some suspension and wheels....spent alot of time on these to make a final decision...i knew i wanted some real jdm wheels and ive never had nice suspension, so i went with function and form type1's, and blox lca's....also, at this point its was time to tear the rest of the car down for the color change, undecided on a color until i get the wheels on though









then i found a decent deal on one of my favorite sets of wheels. jdm enkei jspeed IIIs
16x7.5 +36 up front. 16x8 +28 in the rear




money*

 

the seats were beat, as usual....so got a local hot rod shop to recover them.





now it's time to start on the bodywork and the bay/tuck....big thanks to EGVTEC for all his help with the body work/ paint work...this is currently where im at at this point in time!

in for this!

 

started on my b16 harness a few days ago



and generally this is how a swap looks when it leaves my house( not mine, my cousins ls/v) using the same prep method and paint though, this is just and example




slim fan showed up as well, gotta love that for 20 bux!




im still undecided on a VC color/ design...any input?

 

there are many very quality del sol's. not sure what you're talking about.
i like the 97 front and the paint color. not feeling the 16x8s in the rear though.
hope this lives up to the title. good luck.

 

there are a FEW quality sols out there...but the number is dwarfed by the amount of awesomely well built eg's, ek's, dc's....thats what im getting at

 

This looks ****...I'm in for this! Keep up the good work!

 

thanks!

 

Lets finish up bodywork this week and I'll get some paint layed soon as Seth gives the go...

 

10-4 good buddy

 

did a little more work on the harness today....i wish i wasnt so cheap and would just shell out the dough for a nice harness...i hate this crap!

 

in for more.

 

in for more ****! i mean updates

 

will be nice to see this finished

 

nice build and nice color

 

thanks, and hopefully should be getting this sucker in the booth realll soon...once its sprayed ill have it finished in no time. paint always slows me down!

 

this is awesome, very similar to my 94 vtec i just picked up too, im interested in seeing how yours turns out! good luck

 

I can promise you it will. This Moroccan mother f--ker has good taste. Oh and btw Twigg my mom told me at Thanksgiving I look like a terrorist. What a bitch!
