Enter the Ugly Duckling
( Post #2 )
We nephew Daniel Garcia, and exceptional mechanic and car dealer located a 2006 Honda Element EX-P on Co-parts. We acquired for the right, and I knew that I had to invest money in to it. After a few weeks, it arrived at Dieselz Motorsports in Palm bay, and there it sat for three weeks until I went to go see it.
* Someone lowered it horribly, I will raise it three inches.
* Rear driver passenger door needs minor body work, or replaced.
* Front drive door I may replace
* Front driver fender needs replacing as well.
* Front bumper damaged, have another one coming
* Paint could use a compounding
* Interior door panels need replacing
* Needs driver-side roof rack plastic cover
* Rear driver passenger seat is missing
*Someone painted the rims, they may be stripped or replaced.
All in all, great bones, solid, and I got it at a steal from an auction. When it’s done, it will be my little AWD 4cylinder camping, Over-landing, picking, and adventure vehicle.
It has loads of room for storage, freezing AC, great gas mileage, and not too bad. Far more useful than my Jeep is, I can make money with this thing on the side.
Sure it’s not a bling eye-catcher, but I don’t care about that.
