Kevin Taylor is a classic car enthusiast with a passion for creativity. He says when it comes to building his 1993 Honda Del Sol, it’s all about family and teamwork. Taylor, with the help of Team Hi Def, has completely rebuilt the engine, interior and multimedia, and has also installed a fresh set of wheels, tires and suspension upgrades.
“Everyone bringing something to the table is what makes a team,” says Taylor. “So I’m proud to be a part of Team Hi Def.”
As far as Taylor is concerned, “the build is never-ending,” which means only time will tell what’s next for the ’93 Del Sol.
