scotts EE1 shuttle build

Band Wagon
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

d14a1, you say?
yes it worked out great for me in the end. he was not sure how much to sell it for. and after he got messed about. he just gave me it for a low price so happy days
thankyou yes its a d14a1
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
some pics of how it stands now. will hopefully wash it at the weekend and try some diffrent wheels on it. and get some better pics
speed bumps can fuck off :laugh:
anyway here are some pics
the order the pics are in may not make sense its copied from another forum
More lows on the rear.
im going to either have to do something with the exhaust or raise it a bit as its pretty much undriveable at that height lol
i went for a little test run

all back on i really thought it was gonna be a pain to get it driveable. i just took it for a test run with my gf as a passenger and its not bad at all so win win
have also taken the roof rack off just to see it without it on a bit of a cleaner look. opinions ?
