97 #00034 Restoration

[DHtypeR]

Finally starting a build thread. I’ve been posting a few things on IG and FB and have been getting some feedback to start a build thread. So I finally found some time to start one. I purchased the car the beginning of this year from a seller in central Florida. The plan is to restore it back to original. The way it sits now it has a JDM Type r swap and it needs a lot of body work but it’s a 97 so it should be worth it.

Looks like a solid platform to start with, enjoy!

Ah you bought this one. Can’t wait to see the progress!

Good luck with the restoration (FYI I have 98 0034)

Rock on, I love a quality build thread. Take quality pictures. I hope to release another Type R community calendar focusing on rebuild threads.

I have added your build thread to this thread:

Nice garage! I'd love to have a workspace like that, and that lift

Some under Pics before it comes apart. Underneath looks better than I thought is was going to.

AWESOME!

Whats the back story on this one?

[DHtypeR]

The person I purchased the car from bought it just to flip. He purchased it from the daughter of the guy that owned it. The guy had passed away and the car sat for awhile until the daughter sold it.
