Stick with the stock body? Well if it turns out to be too much work that will put the DD out of commission for an extended period of time, then I won't mess with it, I'll just add a front/rear lip and find some mild skirts and go from there. I think the 6th gen V2 is the one I like... Let me find a pic... here's the CL ad I found. I really want this one, but I just don't justify paying 5700 for a 11 year old car. http://memphis.craigslist.org/cto/1917248322.html

5 grand would be worth it.. Shoot even 5700 would be worth it... Civics hold the value well... But if your looking to buy one there is a guy on here with a hot ass fully built h22 copper color civic

That WOULD be nice! My biggest thing is I get budget projects, because no matter how snazzy something is, I always have to put my touch on it.

Well that car is perfect, because IMO it needs some extras like I would paint match the skirts and such, then maybe get some sick rims for it... And who knows from there, just extras =)

True that. I contemplated buying it, but passed it up for our little 600 dollar gas sipper. IMO, if you do any kind of gen swap anything on a car, you should at least make sure the body lines are somewhat close. An early CRX with a 01 front? Kinda like a square peg in a round hole... or visa versa. I give them points for creativity, but not my cup of tea. I just want a 00 SI front end conversion and MAYBE a rear end conversion. Just to be different I guess =)

I wish I shaved my bay... Maybe I'll do it whenever I pull my engine out again, if I'm not too lazy.

No way to go braided all the way? I know that you need the strength and integrity of the steel lines, but I think it would at least LOOK cool with the SS braided all the way until out of eyesight.

Braided would be hot in the bay and may be used in some area's but the main is going to be steel... I have also considered doing AN fittings some how with a black steel line, I think that would be hott....

I'm a pretty unique character, add my meds from the Army, and a little beer, and it's one helluva ride for all involved.
