What??

Youve been doing so great! What the hell?

Maybe set it aside for the winter and go snowboarding or something. Most projects of this size (like building a wooden boat or log cabin) have a couple episodes like this where the person gets frustrated and questions themselves or motives.

But you're doing justice to a great car. One of the betteter and most charismatic cars in history.

And youre doing justice to yourself .

But seriously you'd be better off finishing it from a personal perspective . Youre the reason I stopped driving my Evo year round.

Awesome thread and attention to detail!

Quick question: You said you removed all of the ACD lines; is that because of the specific trans your are running or did you mean you were just removing in preparation of paint?
