Default Wrecked to Riches

Hello, Nsx Prime. I just wanted to share my build with you folks. This is my first Nsx and my first ultimate dream car that I have waited so impatiently. My car is a 1991 and although my goals for the car will change without a doubt, here are the following I thus far plan to achieve in order:

1. Repair front end damage
2. Wide Body with carbon fiber accents and 02 front conversion
3. Paint either black, candy apple red, or my secret paint blend which I call bronze-copper-haze
4. Bride Cuga carbon fiber seats
5. Full state of the art audio/video
6. 18"/19", suspension
7. Turbo, exhaust, etc.

Most if not all of this will be done at my body shop over this winter. Hope you all enjoy and keep the comments, tips, ideas rolling. Thanks

Thanks for the input. I am going to post wrecked pics shortly. I have not decided on which wb kit yet. Looking at Sorcery replicas, but open to all.

poor car lol its nice to see people bringing these wrecked NSX's back to life instead of just parting them out but I was wondering do you have some kind of example of this bronze-copper-haze paint that your talking about?

I hope you had somebody look at that car carefully.

I've seen much lighter hit NSXs that needed both frame rails replaced, which would be a deal killer for sure on a 91.

Not trying to be discouraging, just realistic.

If this NSX needs frame-work after the light incident I'll sell it right now.

PLEEEEEZE don't paint it candy apple red. It looks so tacky on an exotic.

Thank you.

I don't know, I think it looks pretty good. I wouldn't paint the wheels that color though. .

It looks great if you drive a '50 Merc or a deuce coupe, but a mid-engine exotic? No thanks.

To each his own I suppose.
