alex37211 Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Here is the parts car all helpless, naked, and used And here's the Type S looking like a car again. I just ordered a new fender, hood, and headlights. I was just informed I'll need to replace a spindle and it's different on the type s. But it's all good, my boy is parting a type S out so he's hooking me up. $50 I'm about to siphon the gas out of that parts rsx. There's almost a full tank! That's like $40+ worth of fuel!

And check out these sweet ITR look-a-like ebay headlights! They are "DEPO" which is actually a decent brand. $160 shipped for the pair! (Beats the $125 a piece for foggy or hazy used ones) Spankin' spoiler! Now I just gotta get that quarter glass in there and get a windshield and I'll be rollin' clean.

There was just a smigit but it didn't go more than about 5 inches back from the rebar. It was bent over a few inches and we pulled it back straight. It really doesn't make a difference as long as it's in front of the front wheels. That part is just there to hold things in place like the core support and rebar. You could sawzall that part off about a foot back and still not affect the way it drives. It's only between the wheels where frame damage becomes a headache because they can never really get it as perfect as it was and there can be alignment issues among other things.

Yeah, from the before pictures I expected you to have some frame damage in that area. I must have missed the post about having it on the rack I don't care for the RSX, but you're doing a great job fixing it up. If I had the spare cash laying around, I'd pick up some cheap cars and do the same to resell lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
