1997 Odyssey

lots of miles on the chassis but the engine was swapped at some point.

Runs and drives but sat for 5ish years new timing belt before it sat

 I slowly acquired a lot of parts for only to realize that I dont have time and need the space. 

Good;

Coilovers

camber arms

turbo kit pieces (needs turbo and intercooler piping, ill throw in a FMU and intercooler I have to get it to challenge but some tuning would be better)

Fancy stiff motor mounts

Almost no rust

Golden Era honda suspension ( its basically a accord or acura CL)

Story: Bought from a forum member in GA who left it in a Walmart parking lot to pickup one Christmas Holiday. This was back when the mini van challenge happened, I failed to convert but did drive it a bunch and did a lot of maintenance. It sat for a long spell, some outside some inside. It developed a seam leak that soaked the headliner and put some surface rust on the pan in the drivers foot well. I sikaflexed the seam and it seems to be holding but it can no longer stay inside and I might as well get rid of it. What I am selling now is the best possible option for someone to put a respectable challenge RA1 odyssey. I drained the old gas and took it around the block up to 35 mph and it did ok.    

Spares:

engine and trans

hood

complete driver door

camber arms

interior bits

turbo kit parts

bumpers

fenders

Bad:

Roof seam leaked and soaked pan some surface rust formed

I parked it for some suspension clunk I think, probably needs bushings

Its a project that needs a good weekend of work to be a driver

I had started to install a new radio and took the lower dash off interior is a mess

battery is weak

Dents everywhere, If it sits for longer I will be practicing PDR on it

Man this would be cool to tinker with and have ready as my next daily if the avalon ever dies, but that's a big if
