Lol you're probably right. We'll see how it goes this weekend.
Finally got her legal and took it on it's first real drive today, the daily 200km commute. She drives beautifully, and the transmission works flawlessly. There was never a time that Connie was this nice and tight. And I don't know how I ever lived without heated seats. The used vehicle package from the ministry says the old lady I got it from bought it new in 1999 and owned it for 17 full years. I don't think anyone has ever even sat in the passenger seat. It still idles a little low at times, but not always like when I first started it, and emissions was a pass.
One issue that came up this morning on the way here was the right front wheel bearing. Because why wouldn't I have wheel bearing issues with this car too.... It was kinda humming when I left this morning, but 100 highway km later it's roaring. I don't think grandma ever went on the highway either, so it seems as if I'm already shaking this one to death too hahaha.
That is excellent news it passed congrats ! I'm with Rusty, what is it with you and wheel bearings you can not seems to catch a break with them at all LOL.
Dude I have to say thev parts list threw me off lol. Was not expecting that at all. I love the rust and the fact that this car has plenty of TLC but doesn't show it to other people, only the driver.
Very similar to my car. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this build if you plan to take it further.

It sucks you like in an arse climate . I hate to see 6 th gens exposed to this but we can't always have it both ways. My car has been exposed to the harshest of Winters that PA has to over. Frankensteins has spent his entire life in pa an has not one spec or rust thanks to the undercoating . I'm moving back to Florida in January for good and that undercoat is coming off and getting a fresh one. I'm putting so much on it's going to look like I'm lowered lol. I plan on keeping this car forever.
Yea it's just a Honda but it's my first car and it hasn't quit on me yet. Florida has lots of salt and where I'm living I'll be 5 minutes fromthe ocean and will be taking regular trips there. I'll inspect Frankenstein monthly to see if any rust starts forming and kill it before it becomes a problem. I know for you that's probably hard with all the snow.
