    Out of all the builds out there, I'm kinda honored they took mine, even though it's far from finished or perfect. Also, haters.

    Slow clap.....rising to tremendous applause...Congratulations man!!! Will you sign an autograph for me? LOL Seriously though congratulations. That's pretty damn cool I think you're car is newsworthy just for that engine rebuild...SO SMOOTH. Mine's sounding a lot better nowadays but I've still got a lot off valvetrain clatter and I'm scared it's almost rebuild time....right when I'm almost caught up with everything else. I feel cooler by association now... "Oh, yeah, I know that guy...". Oh, and F the haters...VW vans and the like? I love em, but comparatively speaking they're a dime a dozen. Hondas always get taken for granted, and yet they and it's kinda f***ed up that the cars that set the bar for such good quality at a good price are ignored and are considered passe'. Oh well, their loss. They can have their boring cookie cutter classics, but some of us know a good thing when we see one.

    Congratulations & great to see your picture gallery again.
    I'd completely forgotten about it having been a Hondamatic.. almost want see Hondamatic & 5-speed badges!
    Makes it all sound so easy, when it certainly hasn't been that simple.

    Hope you get/got some more pictures of it with the low front & rake before the back gets down too!

    Thanks guys! The paint doesn't look that good, but I have done loads of work to it. And had to redo many things. It has been a long project, and an excellent learning experience. Hope to get it in paint in the next few months!
