scotts shuttle build **** NEW PICS ****
i have always liked 4th gen hondas and was looking for a sedan or shuttle a couple of weeks back. then someone directed me to a link for this car on ebay. it went for more than what i wanted to pay so forgot all about it.
then last week got a message from the seller saying the winning bidder come to collect it and offered him half the price he won the auction for so he said i could have it for a very fair price so went to pick it up last saturday.
it has been owned by the same couple for the past 11 years and they adored it but they got something newer thats why they sold, so its been looked after and is in great conditon only a couple of scratches and dents and a small pacth of rust on the drivers door. the usual realy. its done around 88000 miles has a d14a1 and its an auto.
my plans are to just give it a general tidy up. and then move on to suspension, wheels etc then i would love to do an engine swap in the future a z6 or maybe even b series who knows.
its not on the road yet and wont be for a while i have my concerto as a daily as just sold my eg so im not in no rush to do anything so progress will be slow. but no doubt when i see the right parts i wont be able to resist buying them :laugh: it needs one hell of a good clean its not been used for a while so thats my first plan of action. any way here is some pics

Re: scotts shuttle build **** NEW PICS ****
here is the wheels that i picked up yesterday they have been professionally refurbed and are super clean. i think they are gonna look sweet
and the guy i got the wheels from had some parts he wanted rid of. so i took them off his hands. some oem eg suspension with forks. that will come in handy if i want to use eg coilovers.
and also some front apexi n1 coilovers (eg fitment). the rears were broken but i have the rear springs so im gonna have a play around today and see what i can do. will hopefully put up some pics later with the wheels on. and maybe it sitting abit lower

Hope you plan to convert it to manual. Auto would put me off buying a car. My dad has a JDM shuttle it has a d15 and only 100k km's. Best of luck with the project bud

Re: scotts shuttle build
Ya rly.
Cmon where are you ?
This is seriously clean !!
Auto, manual, small engine, who gives a S*!t.
The key to honda's is bodywork. EVrything else is easy. And the rear arches on this look ace !!
BTW, the best donor to convert an auto EF is the MB6. Engine upgrade and easy manual conversion rolled into one.
