I was made an offer for the car, and I would hate to sell it but Potts summed it up perfectly earleir today...

Valid point.

If it doesn't sell, then I would be ok with that. If it does sell, then I would get to keep some parts and then sell the car and it's be gone.

True that, but once you move out on your own it's not as easy building cars...

but no garage...

Got a little more done today. Shift linkage connected, header bolted up, traction bars bolted up, wire tucked a bit, more pieces painted black, and a few more things completed.

Things are going on and almost ready to start it up and more green and more of the 1998 1/2 Civic is here.

Looking good, Josh. Any reason the RMF Narrow rep came off? Just noticed it was on in the last set of pics but this final pic you posted, it was not...

I took the RMF rep off due to the difference in the dump on the header to the flange on the cat back... I believe it was going from a 2" dump to a 1.25 test pipe. I didn't measure due to the noticeable difference in size.

I threw on the A'PEXi header since it would bolt up and I can take it to Omar's shop and have him fabricate something on the HKS test pipe that came with the cat back system. I'm willing to modify that short 12" piece from HKS rather than hack and cut up the RMF rep header.

So the car is a little more green, a little closer to starting up and ready to drive, and is getting closer to being a 1998 1/2 Civic.

This weekend it went outside and saw the sun, the engine bay turned out great and so did all the paint so far...

Then last night, I started her up and took her up and down the street a few times. Feels great to drive her again
