    What do you want Mikey...my realistic answer, or my not as realistic answer?

    EDIT:

    In reality I'm probably going to just finish the exhaust, change the intake manifold, fix the back brakes via a disc swap and then just start doing the rest of the general maintenance I've been slacking on.

    In my ideal situation I'd be finishing the 92-93 conversion upfront, the lip kit, get it resprayed and H swapped or boosted.

    I don't have plans to sell the CB but I think I'm ready to move on to a new car/project. 5+ years is a long time. However, in my defenese, my car has ended up a lot nicer than I could have expected.

        hah... well for you, i know both... but i guess realistic, when you look at your car and your future plans, how do you feel it holds up?

          I wish that I could say I was near the finish, but I've only made fairly inexpensive mods to this point. As Jesse James on Monster Garage would say:

            Well, I editted my post with both answers. I dunno, I just am having more and more problems dropping silly amounts of money into the car. The rust kinda broke me. But I have a couple of parts/installs left in me before I call it a day.

                I'm basically almost done...I didn't know what I wanted to do before because I was broke, so everything seemed equally impossible. However now I can spend a little bit of $$ so I'm getting all the stuff necessary to go all-motor on the F w/o pulling the motor. I should have everything and have it all installed by October, which is the perfect time to take the car to the track and see what it can do.

                All I have left to buy is the Delta 272 and the clutch...and I might get them both this week depending on my budget projections. It feels good for it to be almost over.

                    At this point age related stuff is taking priority because the car has to stay running.

                    I am slowly but surely collecting the rest of the parts for the H swap though, and I already have all of the parts for the 5 speed swap, and the brake swap, and the interior swap.

                    I still need the back parcel shelf and the speaker pods though, so that will be a bit.

                    Luckily, a lot of my age related issues will be eliminated with the swap (i.e. engine mounts).

                    Then I will have suspension bushings and window run channels to round out the age related issues that are going to occur in the forseeable future.

                      looks wise, i'm satisfied with it, though i wanted that flushmount.

                      Guess since im happy with it, it'll be hard to see it go now

                          Id say finished because of no funds (I was planning on buying lots of stuff this summer, I ended up buying nothing). Its not that I dont have any money, its just that I need all of it to survive through the school year. which really sucks. maybe when I get out of school Ill buy a 92-93 from the south so i dont have to deal with that rust crap.

                              I've taken big steps... swap, 2 suspensions, 2 sets of wheels, 2 paint jobs, 3 stereos...

                              However, I'm nowhere near done!

                              My current plans, which I'm keeping relatively quiet, SHOULD be doable next spring (the mods and a few people who IM me know... it's not on the board at the moment).

                              Later on, I think I may want to build an all-motor H22... or even more fun, and all motor K20/K24 hybrid (bore to 2.6L, work the head... yeah... )

                              At the moment, my suspension is pretty good... working on some sway bars, and an upgraded front strut bar.

                              Appearance-wise, I need to fix my front end. It was hit before I got the car, and it looks like it had a stroke. I want to make the interior look a bit better, and install an in-car computer system.
