My mini major milestone, I sat in my car for the first time Options

[Wes V]

I just had to toot my horn due to feeling good about the car!

I bought the car on January 16, 2008 and the prior owner had cut out a major portion of the floor due to rust. He planned on doing the repair work himself, but changed his mind.

There has been a lot of stuff that I've had to do to it before getting to the point of welding in the floor (along with putting on steel flares).

But, now the floor is tack welded in and it's the first time that I've been able to sit in it!!!

Of course, I had to shoot the obligatory photo where I'm pretending to drive the thing.

I'm even working the imaginary shifter. (which doesn't make a lot of sense due to having no pedals)

Now my first thought was that this comment was payback for bugging you about Neo updates, but;

If you really care, here is a link to my web site.

Please keep in mind that it's a MTTM project (more time than money). That's why a 2.7t is just a "wish" at this point in time.

I checked out your website, performanceforum.com and like your Honda. My only new car purchase was a great '89 Civic Si. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

no prob on the bugging, it got me working on creating a schedule...

The "performanceforum.com" location belongs to a friend of mine that lets me use it as I wish. He also owns "chevelles.com" and camaros.net". One of my prior "builds" was a 64 Chevelle 2 door wagon and I wrote a whole bunch of stuff for the GM sites.

The 89 Honda was a lot of fun!! I got to hang out with a whole bunch of 24'ish guys and some are the future of car building (I'm 55). There is talent out there playing with Hondas!

The Honda looked stock, but had a CARB approved Acura GSR drivetrain. About 190 horse power. The hub caps hide mag rims. Etc, etc. It started as an SI, which is funny due to the fact that all SI's had sun roofs. I did a complete roof swap in order to have it look more like a base model.

Close to 25 years prior to that, I did a 71 Datsun 510;
