Default Hello From California!

Hey H-T:]
Been on H-T for half a year now, and on this website half of the day ever since lol, so it's about time I start posting up my progress up to this point.

So summer was coming up last year in Cali, and well, it tends to get pretty darn hot in Cali, so I decided to look around for a summer car that was fun to drive. I knew that I wanted a Honda, So I sat down and made a small list of Honda cars that were different than the usual [EK, EG, EF Chassis] Don't get me wrong, I love those models, but there are so many in CALI! I really wanted something different to work on. My first choice on my list? A S2000 of course!!!!!!!!! Yeah, that did not happen. So I went with my second choice, a Del Sol. I really never see any in Cali, specially with any modifications. Day after day I went online checking for a clean stock base to start with and slowly work my way up. I came across a black 1997 Del Sol SI completely stock for 3500, Only 45k Miles on the Chassis. The previous owner was an old guy around the age of 40. I sat inside the car, and I had visioned myself in the car, I knew it we were meant to be. So I took her home, and went online, did research for weeks before I even started touching her. I wanted to do a swap, reinforce the whole suspension from front to back, and drop some clean wheels on it and have a simple and clean great looking del sol, which ARE RARE TO FIND IN CALI. So I pulled up to my cousins shop, and there my modifying journey began...











Sorry for the crappy pictures, uploaded them through my phone. Will post some clean ones soon.
