Wow, what a find. Which begs the question, how and where did you find it?

Now that the car is here, and it's settled at my mechanic's shop, here's what we're doing:
Looking forward having this thing in the condition it needs to be in!
Thanks for all the positive comments. I do feel great having found this car, and hope to keep it, and take care of it for a very long time.
- Adjustment of valve clearances.
- Replace the clutch slave cylinder with an AP1 cylinder, part number is 46930-S2A-003.
- Replace flywheel with AP1 lighter OEM flywheel. Part number 22100-PCX-005.
- Clean or replace oil pan (oil pan had a heating pad attached to it). If it’s too much work to clean, we'll replace it with this: Mugen Oil Pan - AP1/F20C, AP2/F22C 11200-XGS-0000 - King Motorsports Unlimited, Inc.
- Replace all fluids as follows:
- Engine oil - Motul 8100 5W40
- Transmission - Motul Gear 300 75W90
- Differential - Motul Gear 300 75W90
- Brake and clutch - Castrol SRF
- Coolant - Honda Type 2
- Check condition of brakes… I think they should be fine, but pads may be worn. Not sure about rotors.
- Replace any corroded bolts, clamps, brackets, etc… Anything rusted, replace.
- If the radiator is bruised by rocks, let’s replace it. It has plastic tanks, and they don’t age too well.
- If the radiator hoses and others look like they’ve been weathered, replace.
