OldSol of the Month: September 2023
The **OldSol of the Month September 2023** feature highlights a beautifully restored 1995 Honda Del Sol, meticulously brought back to life by a passionate owner. This month’s winner exemplifies dedication and craftsmanship, making it a standout choice for the title.
January 25th, 2020 my two best friends called me into their shop telling me they needed a hand with a repair.. They opened the bay door and there it was – a dusty and neglected 1995 Honda Del Sol. I had sold my previous Del Sol back in 2013 and regretted it deeply ever since. After I wiped the tears away, I knew it was time to get to work.
The paint was in rough shape, the motor was old and worn, the suspension was all shot – it had 223k on the clock. She lived a good life – and it was time for a resurrection. I worked countless hours through covid times to bring this car back to life. After 3 years, I can finally say – this car is DONE!
The car will strictly be a weekend street cruiser – garage kept with many track days & car shows ahead of it!
