Default 05' s2000 Build up from Canada - Salvage back to life !

Hello everybody !
first if all i'll introduce myself , i'm Marc im 22 yrs old and i'm from Quebec , Canada . Here's my second personal build . I do this kind of stuff in my full time job , since i work in a autobody repair garage that's specialised in salvaged cars bought from the states .

Here's my first s2000 build , a 2005 bought with 27 000 miles salvaged in California and rebuild here in Quebec





And now the black Ap2 i wanted for sooooo long

2005 Honda s2000
26 000 miles on odometer
Salvaged from Georgia













The modifications arent chosen yet .. look up for deals here and here , but will end in something like that :

- OEM trunk spoiler
- OEM front lip
- J's racing exhaust ( or other similar exhaust .. )
- KN air intake
- AUT carbon fiber cooling plate
- 18 inches low offset wheels ( model not chosen yet )
- Full coilover set
- Hawk HP+ front and rear brake pads
- Tinted windows and windshield
- Red Recaro DC5's
- Kenwood head unit , Pioneer front and back speakers , demon series amp
- Interior LED conversion
- Clear OEM sidemarkers

I maybe forgot some things.. but I'll add them later hehe


ALL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME !

wow...all the way from GA to canada? and a salvage? must have really wanted a black ap2

No desire to just go ahead and do overfenders/aero since you have to replace all those panels anyway?

Here in Canada the '' clean title '' are rare and veryyyyyy expensive with a low mileage . Our garage imports around 100-150 cars per year from the states to rebuild them .

And for the aero parts , maybe go with rear overfenders , and very like the Shine wider front fenders . Maybe i can change my plans later before paint the car hehe

thanks for the comments !

Looks good. Glad to see the salvage ones getting fixed up and put back on the road instead of parted out and shredded.

Are you doing the rebuild for yourself or resale?

Looks good!

May I ask why you welded only the rear half of the quarter panel instead of a full one?
