1997 Red Honda Del Sol

Another college car special. This car was purchased for $450.00 to be a parts car for the 1993 White Honda Del Sol project. However, upon close inspection, it was in much better shape; mainly the body. Even though it had pretty banged up front fenders and hood, the main structure of the car was in really great shape where the white del sol had damage in almost every panel on the car. Sure the front fenders, hood and bumper were a mess but all of those parts can easily be replaced. Also, the engine ran strong. It did have a pretty major overheating problem but we were able to drive it home by stopping every few miles to let it cool down.
