Yeah, I've never done anything real to my car

I've looked at superchargers, but they're near impossible to get. I was going to do a motor swap or turbo build, but I like having a functional car too much to go that route. Where's your updates?

What you don't like not having a car for 5 years like the rest of us

Transmission shims got in yesterday. Buttoning things together. Nothing until a video

Selling the fenders to a guy coming from PA driving to GA, possibly selling my doors to a local guy, and then might be shipping front bumper to TX. Still have 2 rear bumpers, a lot of engine parts, stock suspension parts, back seat, center console and complete dash, and a lot of other things. Also I will be getting either a CB7 or CD5 at the end of the month. Even though its no cl or Acura, it's still. A Honda

Got my Valve covers and Tanabe Strut bar powdercoated gold vein! Still have to bring my ST friont sway to be sandblasted and coated th same color! My rims should be done this week as well in the gold vein color. Car is still a 2000lb paperweight at the moment as It still won't start since the timing job I did. Honda tech coming tomorrow to hopefully rescue me lol!

Yep, Projos ftw, although mine haven't worked right for a long while

I drove my CL to work today. First day (part time) at my big boy job that I'll start once I get done with school and everything it entails in June.

I started my projector project on an extra set of headlights I got like a year ago and they're still sitting in a box half finished! I couldn't get them to stick out far enough to get the locking nut and clamp on them! Someday I'll finish lol!

Selling the doors today, taking off the spoiler, wheels are coming off and might have a potential azine buyer for them , might have a local buyer for the coils, still have the front bumper and two rear bumpers, as well as the engine and all of its components

Picked up a '97 grill.

It was gold, so I re-did the badge a metallic stainless steel color.
