Wing from Fairfeild pick n pull

i pick up the wing t hat Steve posted about unfotunely the mounting bolts where hinding to where i couldnt really lotace them and on top of that there was plently of rust on the bolts also so i had to take extreme measures to get it off! after i got it off i saw where all the mount bolts where from the outside and if i didnt have a broke hand and sick wife at home i could have been able to do a better job getting it off, but with the limited resources that i have ie: broken hand i think it went pretty smoothly! here are the pics im going to use some resin and fiber to repair the wing the best that i can!

Little fiberglass work, sanding and painting, it'll make a nice addition to your car. Junkyard is where I found my Mikuni set up, a Mariah Mode 4 air dam and the whale tail wing that's on the widebody.

i wouldnt found it if Steve didnt post a thread about it!

im not going to mount it yet im thinkin to wait till i start preping the body for paint and do it then or just do it now and give a grey primer the wing that is! i need to figure out how im going to mount it and do it myself all that will come in time!

my hand is hella broken with a pink cast that my daughters pickd out! im been goin crazy not being able to work on my car! my wife had my youngest daughter home with her so i dont feel too bad about!

that same SA thst i got the wing from also has an oil cooler mounted under the radiator that the owner put in all you would need is a pair of dykes to cut the coat hanger!

I want to say it might be a small IMSA wing, don't really know. It looks deeper than the dealer/aftermarket offered 1 piece ones. If there is enough interest in it, maybe aussiesmg might be interested in making reproductions of it. I think it's a good looking wing, not too big or too small.

I want to explore your junkyards. There must be another 1st gener that visits the one local to me because all the good stuff is gone before I get there.

It was just by chance that these parts came up. It was a private jy that my neighbor ran across. He bought 2 very rusty 1st gens for 250, with tittles, then decided to stick with his Hondas. We ended up scrapping both bodies due to rust and after his gf tossed him out of the house, I bought all of his spare parts for 350. Since the price of the whale tail, which is no longer in production, listed for more than what I paid for all of the parts, I was happy. It was the perfect finishing touch for the widebody.

That wing looks nice. I have never seen one like it.

Steve when you gave your desciption I imagined something completley different o well.

By chance do either of you guys remeber if there rear bumber was a rear bumber still on the SA and what kind of shape it was in?

Thanks

Yeah, you were lucky to find it before me. Otherwise, it would have been in pieces since I have no use for it.
