Description: Unchanged from factory here in halifax for 23 years.... then it was traded in to a honda dealer by its original owner.

Then I came in. Boss bought it to use a car for the pizza store (as it was near mint and he crashed it into the backside of a honda civic (destroying the honda outright)

I bought it then for $200.... been doing LOTS to tune up and repair accident damage, and had it on the road up to its origonal spec in weeks.

Used at Rallycross and flipped it onto the roof. Fixed that damage (took very little damage again amusingly)

Now Its getting cleaned up to be not ugly again little by little with Ecomods along the way.
