Yeah, I will be searching around the wrecking yards for any S2000s lying around with side or rear damage. Hopefully I can get lucky again and find one around my area.

Since it sounds like your S has some fairly serious damage, you should also have the frame checked to make sure it didn't get tweaked. I would think the X-bone frame of the S would be less prone to it but it would be a good idea to have it checked anyway before you start putting it back together.

I have purchased several parts from Majestic Honda over the internet and have had no problems. Below list prices in many cases. Good luck!!!

Good way to start off. It will be a good experience for you to rebuild it, and the hard work will make you appreciate it more. Just make shure that you do only what you can handle; remember even pros sub out some of the labor to more experienced specialist (especially structural work). Other than that have fun, and enjoy the fixer up time with your father.

I'll also email HardTopGuy about his prices on parts. As for finding the wrecked S2000 SeOulxk, try www.erepairables.com, they got a great selection of all types of wrecked cars around the US. I would also try just searching www.google.com and also www.autotrader.com. I think AutoTrader has a similar wrecked car like mine as a listing in NJ. The guy wants 13,100 or best offer (i got mine for less though

). Thanks again for all your help guys.

PS: I PMed you back Tuned.

thanks

Normally I'd be incredibly jealous of a Junior in High School buying an S2000. I'm a freshman in college and the new car outlook is very, very slim for me. But, since you bought it wrecked and your dad is helping you restore it, that makes me even more incredibly jealous.

My parents have absolutely zero interest in cars. I'd love to have a dad that shared my enthusiasm for cars. Enjoy it.

I agree, hardtopguy.com is a great source for most of what you need (if you're looking for new parts).

Good luck on getting that beauty working again!

I agree! congrats!

drive safe!

I'm located in Clearwater, in a small town called Safety Harbor. I see your from Naples. Beautiful place as well, I only come through there about once every 2 months when I'm on my way to Miami to visit family.
