After dailying my 5th S2000, I took the plunge to expand my collection to include this rare gem. I came across this CR on Craigslist and decided to check it out. After hours of negotiation, exchange has been made and a phone call to AAA to tow it home.

Here is my build as I decided a CR is worthy for record keeps.

2/2/2015
Pre-purchase








2/2/15 Post Purchase (getting towed back from Sacramento to San Francisco




2/2/15 arrived in San Francisco parked outside my friends shop for further inspection and evaluation on purchase



2/3/15 - morning shot waiting for shop to open doors




2/3/15 - racked on the lift for inspection and diagnostic of drivetrain





2/3/15 - replaced rear differential, new motul gear oil and transmission flushed (65,000 miles) out for test drive / mini shoot




2/5/15 - DMV Registerstion process (Inspection, fees, lines and Smog)


2/7/15 - out goes the old door and in goes the new.. (OEM CR wheels swapped back)

 

I think I may have seen this recently on CL. Pics?!

 

Saw this blue CR on craigslist. It's gonna need a lot of work to be restored to what it should be. Should be an interesting build

 

 

Not too much work.. Although still a good amount. Previous owners did some quality repairs on the car however skimped out on quality when it comes to safety.. The car doesn't have air bags lol... I'm trying to source out a pair for the time being. Deciding if I want to replace it with a quick release steering wheel and keep this car as a track inspired build. As far as other work needed, it's not too bad, swapped out the door and it lines up nicely, should be heading in to the body shop in the next few weeks as funds free up abit with my SILVERSTONE part out. The car runs and drives healthy with the new differential, kicking in lots of tq and power with the Kraftwerk supercharger, I'm quite happy with it so far. Just working on swapping some parts over from my SILVERSTONE.

 

Is this an accident or theft salvage?

 

nice score, but seems like it's been through a lot. don't want to hate on it.

on the plus side, one of the most desirable colors for the CR & at least it's a roller. has some nice parts too.

 

Nice pickup. Lol

 

nice progress
