A few hours ago 3 board members myself and wheels finished rebuilding his #69 1989 honda pilot. 4 weeks ago Wheels was racing his pilot in the dirt series out here in Cali. and he took a mean tumble after jumping a table top and landing sideways. He landed sideways and rolled the car 5 times sideways and totaled it. Every plastic was trashed 2 front ball joints in his front arms we bent the front right spindle was bent 3/4's of an inch. The roll cage was twisted to the left and therear suspensi. were tacoed. The frame was "s" bent the front arm mounts were moved 1 inch to the left and the rear Engine cradle was twisted to the left by 3 inches. I was able to get a great deal from Socalgii for a lower frame. Big thanks to Dave-Co for donating a complete stock rear suspension and to halorising for donating a complete set of plastics, front rims, and roll cage. And propilot popper for donating a left front fender and his time nickrnr for his time. All this last week I cut out all of the racing tabs and fixtures from steves wreck to be transplanted to the new frame. I installed all the tabs and a new radiator relocation system as well as his beard racing seat tabs. Also the tab for his fuel cell. I then oreped the complete frame and primered and painted it. We started at 8:40 saturday morning and had a few hickups with bent parts I didnt forsee (thanks front right upper a-arm and spindle) So I had to bend them back to get the frontend adjusted correctly. It was nice that he has the adjustable stock replacement front arms from atvr. We timelapst the whole build and will have it for you guys soon. We finished at 11:20 pm an d heres some pics
