    So this summer I started collecting vehicles! The first is my $250 cb750 (in it a total of $360 now) and my $300 ford escort (in that $400 now).






    I also bought a new camera, so I'm messing around with photography. It's iight







    And finally... I'm really considering selling this thing. Not because I don't like it, but because I really want a 2002. Just need a new project, something maybe a little more involved.

      Car looks real clean. What kind of steering wheel do you have? Also what did you use to paint your wheels?

        Grip royal macbeth steering wheel, real momo hub, and a generic "bmw" horn button someone sold me for real cheap.


        I used plastidip! That way I wasn't committed to the color

            Nice deal on that escort! I have an absurd and irrational love of 2nd gen escort gt's.

            Someday...

              Yeahhh megasquirt is a bitch. Anyone can do it, but you have to be able to read read read. I know so much about electronics now, I feel like I can tackle anything.

              I totally know what you mean haha, the thing is actually pretty awesome. Sadly, I can't even put it on jackstands there is so much rust. So it may be retired after this winter.

                Fall is coming quick. Makes for fun photography. Let me know if I'm using this camera right!

                    I think it was 2 cans of white and 4 cans of green. Not sure what that was in layers. Just be sure to let them sit in warm water, and shake them a ****-ton. I didn't do the warm water, and probably spayed from too far away, which resulted in the finish being really bumpy. It's a cool effect, but impossible to scrub brake dust off without also scrubbing the bumpy dip off.
