Welcome and thanks for the photos. Very, very nice. Incredible detail in the engine bay. Eager to see and hear about your Vtec project, too.

Gorgeous car. You must be one of those detailer freak people. I can't get my cars that clean, let alone keep them that way!

Thanks for the comments.
The VTEC is the new topic of the day for me.
I just heard that the voting is in and my VTEC paint scheme has been decided.
I know this because my wife said so.

I am going to wait a bit before I let it be known due to paint scheme thiefs.
Not that any of you fine people would thieve a paint scheme......

more to come...

Its cars like yours that inspire guys like me to keep on going with all our crazy ideas. Thanks for the motivating pictures.
I'm also a painter and I know first hand how it feels to have an idea snatched away by someone else.
It's also complimentary when done, or so they say.
Can't wait to see the V-tech project.
BTW, I'm with you on the wife making decisions.

The title and heritage cert. I also have the paperwork from when it was delivered from the factory to Singapore and then to California.

Is that what you meant?

How will you wire from the ignition / wipers / signals down to the connector? The devil is in them parts! Especially the main lead at position three.

The picture looks awfully familiar. It feels like you just showed me a picture of my naked girlfriend or something...so, so familiar.

I am going to use a painless 12 harness.
I dont have wipers and the ignition will be a push button so I might not have the same problem as some folks there. Just like my other mini, flip a switch for the main power; push the start button...sounds easy huh!
