Hi everyone,
I have always wanted an NSX and I was finally able to pay cash for this guy at an insurance auction last week. The car sustained damage to the hood, passenger fender, passenger headlight cover, windshield and a small portion of the roof.
I picked the car up Friday May 15, 2015. I began by charging the battery and firing her up. It runs good but seem to have had a rough idle (this has since cleared up). Not sure if the car just needed to be ran as it had been sitting for quite some time. So far I have noticed an HKS INTAKE, eibach springs, Volk GTC wheels.
i found some service records in the trunk and was able to contact the previous owner who was most helpful and informed me that the clutch, timing belt and water pump were all done within the last 10k miles at Gary Force Acura in Brentwood Tennessee. The service dept was able to confirm with me that those services were completed less than 10k miles ago.
Since I got all of that sorted out over the weekend, I was able to tear the car down today Monday 19,2015. I was pleasantly surprised that there was absolutely no structure damage to the car with the exception of the damage to the roof. I popped the fender and the hood off, cut out the old busted windshield and began work on the roof. I repaired a slight bend in the windshield frame, and began removing the dents from the roof. Lots of block sanding and primer but I'm very happy with the results.
That is as far as I have gotten but the windshield arrives tomorrow and I have sourced the body panels and headlight cover. As soon as it is all put together, it's off to the state inspection station and then over to the body shop for a full respray.
I will update pictures as progress is made. Hope you enjoy seeing the progress as much as I am.
