Same here. Just scored one for 3500 with 220k miles alignment off, horrible tires, messed up rims, a few rust spots and paint fade on the trunk. Wanted $4800 for it. Going to be a pretty big undertaking but planning a k24a swap after body work, wheels and brakes
@@crackshotmcgee9588 congrats. I'm in the process of doing a k24a rn too. Get on it because the motors are much more expensive now than they were 2-5 yrs ago.
@jimmyymoua thanks man! And I'm just wondering if since I'm going to use a k20 head is there any reason not to get any k24 block?(also planning on doing pistons, maybe turbo, that sort of thing)
Would love too see more of these! Looking to paint my mr2 but I wanna do it myself and don’t want to spend so much (it’s got no engine so I can’t really take it to a place to get painted either)
is this what people do? none of what he did was the propper way was just the quick way that wont last also easily the worst cleared headlights I've ever seen , paint looks pretty bad even on camera
I agree the paint looked dull. Matte. But it is also true the buyer could repaint or reject. He does not *make* anyone buy. Even with dull paint, it could be better for the life of the metal than how he found it. But for his own sake, he should make it a shiny coat, as most people want that. I was wishing he would blow glitter all over the paint. Wouldn't that look cool? Glitter sealed under a clear coat. I once saw a car that had shag carpet as the surface layer. Odd.

I wonder what the buyer feels like after watching this video lol
I loved this video. It’s like therapy watching an 8th gen come back to life. I have a love for these
Nice. Unfortunately, where I live, clapped out salvaged title 8th gen si's still go for $6-$10k.
Yeah, takes some hunting to find a deal like this for sure.

How did you put the front tow strap? I got a 2010 4dr and i got one but can't seem the hook like the one on the rear lol
What spray cans did u use ?

Paint Society would be a best resource
I like the build, gold bbs reps look mean on it. Digging the ricer tow hook
Thank you!
Looks better than when it was bought fpr sure...good work.
Thank you!
Want a SI for a long time but is it worth the 7-10 K price tag??
I don't think they will be getting cheaper, for 8th gens at least, its the last high rev honda
Thx for a great video, but plz even out the volume between talk and music! Annoying when u have to lover it when the music starts...
Thanks for the feedback.
nice…my fave car
I love them too!
Tf happened to the tow hook 😭😭💀💀
Someone paid 8k for a clapped spray painted FA5 😳
Market these days.
@@AutomotiveMoney no doubt, its crazy
