So for the past couple of months I have not had hardly any chances to drive my '94 NSX. It is just been sitting around, as I now work about 110 miles away from where it is stored. Anyway, it has been a great car, but it is showing the age of it being a '94 NSX with 93,774 miles on it. Now as most of you are aware, I drive my cars quite a bit usually, so wear and tear does happen...and I am okay with that. What I was thinking of undertaking is a project of restoring the car to an almost 'as new' condition. Here are my challenges, and I need your help to give me pointers on if this project is worth while.
1.) Repaint entire front end to remove chips and damage from road driving that happened before I put the clear bra on the car.
2.) Fix gap problems on the hood. I suspect that my car had to have been in some minor fender bender because on one side the gap is just not right and the hood sits a little higher as well. (**How hard is this to fix??**)
3.) Fix gap problem on headlight. Again, the one headlight has a gap that is just not correct. I did not see any damage to the frame of the car or other major areas, but still think that some fender bender had to have caused this. How can you measure alignment points so this can be fixed??
4.) OEM wheels have some scrapes. I would like to find a place that can refinish my OEM wheels to look like they did from the factory. Some refinishing shops can make them look all nice and overly glossy, but that is not how they looked from the factory. I know, I am picky, but that is my OCD.
Those are my major stumbling points. The rest I can deal with. The interior is very clean, my OEM seats are almost perfect because I have had Sparco seats in there forever. The suspension underneath I will be working on this weekend to try and make perfect...so what do you think?? Any tips on getting the other things fixed, or am I just nuts.
