BB1 Scrapyard Dog - New headlights

[vanzep]

This one is my Scrapyard Dog as it came out of a scrappies in Birmingham.
The lude was parked in the middle of the yard as they still used it for local deliveries and the guard dog sat on the roof at night to keep watch. There are some scratches on the rear window from where the dog slid down.

Edit: Car was bought from Hall Green Spares in Birmingham on 16/11/2015
Decided to take a gamble late last year and picked up this very early example of a fully loaded 1991 JDM BB1 SiVtec.
Pretty much the top spec you could get at the time with TCS, 4WS, LSD, ABS, CC, SRS II, DSP with half mast ariel, electric drivers seat etc etc
It was in a pretty bad state and after a long and eventful journey to pick it up finally got it home and had a closer look at it
The list of defects was a long one to say the least
That said there were a lot of good points about the car main one being it was virtually unmodified and mostly complete
After a couple of days work it went for its MOT and got a straight pass and the car is now back on the road
Once finished it will be back to full OEM status and a total contrast to my other lude which is a modded BB4

Most of the big jobs have been done but as usual it will be work in progress.

Some pics a few months after buying it and getting it through the MOT







and a few pics from when i bought it

Looks like a nice example from the pictures. And lots of extra little bits added in. Assume someone wanted the full hog when they purchased this new.

What defects did you have to sort for the MOT?

Blue interior? Looks standard grey to me..

Good buy though.

As said in other thread, really glad you picked this up and are sorting it. Looks excellent after a good clean/polish up.
Same spec as Lisa's JDM (top spec) although hers has the rear spoiler too.

Does it also have the CD changer in the boot and the high level 'prelude' light?

Get some Dinitrol in those rear quarters asap!

[vanzep]

Thanks for the comments.

Its got the high level brake light and ive got the gathers cd changer that fits in the centre console but like i said its always work in progress as im missing a few parts like the dsp headunit and dsp has yet to be tested.

Ive treated the inside of the arches with dynax anti rust cavity wax after fixing the leaks from the blocked sunroof drains, rear light gaskets and replacing the rear window trim which is where most of the water was getting in from. The underneath of the car has been sealed by a previous owner or maybe at the time when it was imported to the UK in 1999.

I will post up shortly a list of whats been done so far

Wonderful to see another ageing 4G saved

100% blue interior. Photo doesn't even half show the colour. As bad as my photos.

I really like this car. It is nice in person. We'll need to meet up and I can get some good pics for you

[vanzep]

Yeah some photos would be good
Will give you a call and arrange something.

Rear stanley fog light ordered from @JDM-BB4 - this is just to fill the hole in the ukdm bumper - i had to swap this over as the jdm bumper on the car was broken beyond repair.

Managed to locate Gathers/Honda DSP Pt no.08A52-SS0-00 . Thats the DSP unit DPX M7361ZH and Head unit KEH M7361ZH.
Hope to have these here in the next week or two. Very excited Lets hope it all works

Car has plenty of power and im surprised at how smooth it is - no noticeable vtec step - wondering if it has been chipped
