Hello Everyone,
I bought my 91 NSX in August of 2011 here in the Denver area. I was leaving for Chicago to buy a 92 Red/Black on a Tuesday, the Friday before I found my 91 BB here locally. It had more mileage then I really wanted @ 143k but it was bone stock and it was BB!!! Over all the car was solid and with the car being a work of art I felt comfortable with the canvas I would have to start with..
All the big services were done along with a new clutch. Since I've owned it I've replaced all hoses and seals and a new oil pan. I've replaced the factory brakes with slotted brakes and upgrade pads and braided lines all the way around. I really did want a big brake kit but felt that knowing I'm gonna maybe only track it a couple times I didn't really need to spend that coin on something that was more of a cosmetic fix for ME personally I could use it on other things for the car. I AM a little worried that my rims I ordered ( Volk GT-F ) 18,19's will over power the smaller rotors ( visually). I have a Tien flex suspension set up, in a crate waiting for my rims to arrive NOT TIL MARCH, A 16 week wait DRAG!!!!!! I put on a CT header and exhaust, upgraded the air intake. CT Supercharger summer 2012. I'm hoping to get my Stacy side skirts, Downforce 02 rear valance, Downforce rear spoiler,Shine front spoiler that I bought within the next week..
This brings me to the exterior, this is where my personal build is directed. I've made my living working on the exterior of cars for the last 25 plus years in multiple capacities. When it comes to black it's gotta be done right. Overall it's not to BAD but it has some issues. Nothing some labor and some $$ won't fix properly.
1- it has had misc panels painted ( no major bodywork BUT ) there are brown black panels with other panels being a blue black.
2- This probably should of been #1, the driver door had what looks like a perfect collision with a shopping cart. There was touch up paint applied in multiple stages to build up the lows of the dents to the level of straight metal around it. if you didn't know the car was aluminum you would have looked at it and thought pretty bad surface rust, each spot ( 3 total ) was the size of silver dollar. There was an attempt at Paintless Dent Repair ( PDR ) which in actuality caused more damage then the dents themselves. whoever tried it first drilled a hole in the door and also didn't use a plastic tip or tape on their PDR tool and scratched the backside of the door. All this can be fixed but totally unavoidable if proper care in quality would have been performed.
Anyway, I started disassembling my car to get ready to do a complete paint and get this Bad Boy looking like it should!!
