yeah i do have a lot of work to do but i also have till october till i get my license....and im not driving the car at all(well im sure you can tell theres no engine) but i have time to get the engine in and all the body work......

damn, i wish i could have done that, no my dad kept sellin all the cars i had before i turned 16. oh well.

lol...yeah that sucks.....,im glad i started saving for a car in like 7th grade......

lol, damn i wasn't even really thinking about cars that much back then, it was just video games.

lol yeah me too but my older brother was telling me that i could have to best car in high school and i could get all the girls if i just save my money till then i could have a nice car and shit like that.........i dunno im glad i listened to him other wise i would have a shit car with no money

have fun doing what??my car??

have fun working on it I suppose ... I got my MG in Dec '99 but I wasnt really into working on it and shit ... wished I would have had a honda from the beginning ... restoring classic cars is for old people, young people need a project they can relate to.

I didnt do shit to that car other than the custom exhaust .. and the cd player.

lol yeah i cant wait to get a job and during the summer im going to be working with my dad make about 2 grand then get sum of the shit i want and be good to go for now.......

yeah, seriously...

a guy I know is workin on a 68 chevelle... he keeps tellin me he's going to cruise it when he gets it finished... I keep tellin him he'll get laughed out of the area and he'd have to take it to one of the 40+y/o hangout spots. (no offense to any 40y/o's)

Hey man,your CRXce's brother rite?

hey now, im not 40 y/o, but eventually im gonna have me some good old muscle cars. I already know of one that I will end up restoring for my dad, a 71 Dodge Charger. after that there will be a few other muscle cars i will want to work on. No doubt, I'm a hardcore import guy, but you just can't ignore the good old American Muscle cars. Now once i restore them, very seldom will they be driven.

Yea, thats cool ... I was just saying in my case it wasnt cool to start restoring a classic car right off the bat ... especially since things began to be rushed cause it was daily driven in high school ... not exactly the best car for a teenager to have ... my mom liked the fact that it was a 2 seater though.

Now once i restore them, very seldom will they be driven.

I agree 100% I want to restore some Chevy Corvairs (my original car interest) but that'll happen after I do what I want with a few imports and maybe a slammed truck...

well i think the main thing that helps when restoring a car is, it not being your only car. That helps out a lot, as I am finding out. But that is understandable there melt. Shit my first truck i was gonna work on was an Old Chevy Luv, that thing was gonna be badass, but then my dad sold it...damn.

Wow another person painting their car orange.
Orange rules:ylsuper
