Well guys, I got me a 1995 Del Sol S

I picked her up about a month ago from NC.

My new del sol needs a new motor :happy0034

Here's some pictures of my trip
It took me 7 hours to get it from New Burn, NC to Greenville, SC

Of course we passed a redneck SC HWY trooper hehe


Reached NC but that was not even a 1/4 of the way lol







More pics in a few mins

The car has zero rust and like 2 small dings
The paint on it is not bad, however the sol was riced out BIG TIME and there stickers
everywhere.

When they took the stickers off, it peeled the clear coat. in some stuff.

It came with motor mounts, radiator and fan, a/c system (not installed).

I got luck and got all black seats instead of the green stripe. They are in awesome condition. They also don't have any tear at all.

Interior is in very good condition. The door panels are not that great, but better than all the del sol's I have seen.

Hood is black and has shitty pins, but my friend that let me borrow his jeep his letting me get his that he never used.

Plans
I would love to throw a B series in there but I don't have money for that.
Therefore, a Z6 or Y8 are going to be in there.
Boost? maybe but not now

Here's more pics:



Look at that MONSTOR 4x4 LOL 8)



The interior was VERy dirty, but I cleaned it really well.


JDM y0


Riced out hood



Bay Area :happy0034



Bad paint from stickers:


And last of rice is the last sticker that they didn't take off. I tried taking it off but it was pretty much impossible w/out runing the paint
