dude this is sweet, please keep posting regular updates in the future

 

[lem0n]

Gotta say this thread is going in a direction I didn't anticipate. Some real serious work going into this little Del Slow. Will have to keep my eyes on this thread now.

 

[ResilientBanana]

You should add some edges, make it look sweet.

Yes! And a Baby On Board sign for the rear window and maybe some Japanese lettering of whatever you want.

Not much room to fit all your hairdressing equipment in, but sure

That's why I bought a truck also. All my nail and curler supplies go in there.

 

[raduque]

Will it still be a del Slow when you're done with it, I wonder?

 

[brokenwatch]

Great car! I had a manual CRX Si-R when I lived in Japan, and I loved it. Revved to like 9000 RPM and a great car to learn to drive on.

The power rear window and t-tops were really unique.

 

[JayK47]

Wish I had room for a lift. Pretty sure my slab could not support one either.

 

[fatty]

I’m not a car person, but this thread and seeing the progress is pretty cool. Thanks for the updates.

Have to admit, this thread also reminded me of my white Honda CRX...loved that car.

I wanted one of these when I was a teenager. My friends father worked at the Honda dealership in Philadelphia. He always brought home loaner cars from the dealership so it made me like Honda vehicles a lot. It was the 1991 Del Sol and CRX were my wants back then.

Crx is my favorite honda followed by the Del Sol. I started driving in the 90s. My brother would drive me to school in a crx. So lots of memories.

Fart can?

NO!

That's gross.

That's gross.

I was born in the 80s its a legitimate question ... Thank god you said no.

I'm actually a little jealous. I did a little dirt track racing in the 4 cylinder front wheel drive class... I had a 1983 Plymouth colt... Slowest car on the track... However I avoided all the pile ups. And normally came in like 5th or 6th... Not bad for a 20 car race...

The winner was a delsol every time! Had an integra motor too!

Also I knew some very hot chicks in the 90s that owned those cars and oh boy did I ever want to get in ... And not to drive either.

I see a few still driving around... Mostly owned by latino guys... Who do unfortunately lower them paint them stupid, sticker them with crazy stuff and buy obnoxious wheels.

And of course when they go by.... Its fart tastic

So I spent the weekend sanding the removing rust on the undercarriage and painted it with POR15. I also finished painting the suspension subframe with POR15. So after it dries I'll be reassembling next week.

I'm about 3 weeks from removing the rear quarter panels and working on the the rust for that but I have to install a pool for the kids so we will see if i get it done in the next 3 weeks or not. I should have it rolling again by Sunday this week though.

I would love to have a friend like you irl just hang out and work on cars and learn from you. I wonder if you'd be the type not to want that though and have people out of your way lol

I would love that to be honest. The friend I had that like cars moved away. I'm mostly alone doing this shit now.

OP is a middle-aged wine mom from 1998.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Sweet setup for your project, keep pushing at it mate.

 

[quickwhips]

Made some progress and got the suspension back together with big brakes. Went from 9.5 inch rotors in front to 11 inch mini cooper rotors and integra type r front brakes (yes i know but it works on a honda go figure) and then converted from Drum to disc brakes from a acura integra. The front brakes barely clear but look awesome. The car is going to stop on a dime which to be honest in the past was pretty sketchy for me when I ran the 1/4 mile in my old crx.
Next will be painting engine bay as so I can put the motor in. I'm still waiting on passenger side rear quarter panel to be shipped. So that will probably be more toward july-august.

New Rear Disc Brakes from Acura Integra. Also pressed in new hubs and bearings

New Front Brakes from Integra type r calipier, mini cooper rotor on a civic ex spindle. New hub and bearings also pressed in.

Looking good. I still have to sand the rims and paint them but that will happen later. At least I know the rim clears the brakes.

 

[Imagine Wagons]

In for updates. OP congrats, this looks like an amazing project.

 

[haxan7]

Subbed. I missed all the previous updates

 

[Rat Rage]

This is pretty cool.

you didn’t get it in the special grasshopper green ?

 

[mxbison]

That's so cool.

I wish I had more skills than Excel and Powerpoint.

 

[TheContact]

i managed to color in the lines today so i'm proud of myself for that

 

[MastaKiiLA]

I love this thread, and I love this project. Mad props, bruv. I'm a fellow gear head, but never had the chance to do a major project like this. Mostly just did aftermarket mods to my 2001 Toyota MR-S. I need to buy a house first, and then I can outfit my garage. I'll be doing bike work though. I don't have much use for a car anymore, where I live now. I want to do some cafe racer and bobber/brat builds.

 

[TheTurboFD]

Looks awesome, always wanted one to drop a K20 or GSR motor in.

The GSR motor is what will be put back in the car in a month or so.

 

[rorepmE]

Just don’t buy the SR20s one week before race wars when they’re pulling a premium.

 

[lem0n]

This thread got me thinking more about Golden Era Honda’s and well, look what followed me home. D16Z6, auto (meh) and completely stock aside from a head unit and locking lug nuts. Lol.

This project is coming along nicely, looks like you just barely cleared the rim there ha. Big fan of Wagner's too, good choice. But I'm sure you knew that eh

 

[QuantumZebra]

I'm excited to see where this goes. Subbing.

 

[Raven117]

I really like this thread

Yo quickwhips

Was just cleaning out my old watched threads. Can you post some more pictures of your del Sol build? Pretty please?

 

[haxan7]

 

[Patrick S.]

Booooooo!

Shame, that Honda project was really cool

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I hope the car didn’t fall on him

 

[haxan7]

I hope the car didn’t fall on him

can confirm he's alive and well

 

[Soltype]

Someone should start a project car update thread, I'm sure there's a few of us working on something.

Think the guy left the forums...and you're using light mode, mate! My eyes!

He would do that. Light mode is forbidden. Car may not have fallen on in, but it's possible there was an accident involving his experimental carbon fiber mold.
