[plee3]

Ok fellas, I decided to create My MR page. This is how she sits now.
Cappuccino #16




When I first got it:





It has come a long way. I purchased this car back in October ’08 for $1200 from a friend who was not interested into the car at all. I personally was looking for a Civic Hatch but my attention was drawn to this car. I was a little disappointed that it was an automatic but it looked pretty clean and had 93,000 miles on the ticker. At first he told me that it needed rotors in the front and that’s it. Well that wasn’t all that was wrong with it! LOL!! I started to give up on the car until I ran across this web site. You guys gave me very good information and inspired me to transform my project into a reality. Much respect to all of you!!!! Here is my list of things that has been done.
