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

I even do the axle boots and the steering boots. Did the clutch slave cover too.

Now that the car is here, and it's settled at my mechanic's shop, here's what we're doing:
  • 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.
Once this is all done, it's going to undergo a Pebble Beach level detail for 2-3 days, parked in a secured garage, covered, and put to bed.

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.
