Just picked up another sho

[ryan21288]

Well today i ended up trading my 91 Accord with 231k for a 95 SHO with 163k. I think i did pretty good. It drives perfect. It needs some minor body work but thats nothing big. Its green/tan ATX. Ill post some better pics tomorrow but for now heres one from my phone. Hopefully this time ill be able to keep it for more than a month lol and actually meet some of you guys. I live in Cranston RI is there anyone local willing to share some knowledge lol. Ive been into the SHO since i first started getting into cars. So i really want to make this one sweet.

Brought it to my buddys shop today. Its in pretty good shape. Need to replace the small coolant line below the thermostat housing. Its got a pin hole w here the clamp is. I want to check the timing belt cause im not sure when that was last changed. So i may need some assistance in the future. So i may take u up on that offer.

faded green is nice but when you have fresh paint, green is definitly one of the nicest colors the sho came in IMO. I mean that's the reason it's so common, people liked the color.

ryan21288 Your car is looking good, keep up the good work. .

I also thought the same, then I found my car.

I say, green shines up nicely. Looks good man keep it up.

Thanks everyone. The car will hopefully be going in for some body work this month to fix the rear quarters and front bumper. Theres a nasty repair on the drivers side, some minor rust on the passenger side and the paint on the bumper is peeling off. Once thats done it should look pretty sweet. I spent all of yesterday and today doing valve cover gaskets, plugs and wires. I got motorcraft platinum plugs and Taylor 8.2mm wires. Plus a new K&N air Filter. What a difference. The car really pulls now and it just seems to run better in general. I also painted the intake black and left the runners silver. Ill post some pics up tomorrow. Also are there any local meets? Id like to see some other SHO's

Ryan, you have a ton of resources at your disposal with your location. Best of which NESHO is only about 45 minutes away from you.
