Holy shitcakes dude, that car looks incredible. I would have given up shortly after seeing the car for the first time. I take it you have body work experience, but none the less well done.

Hey... Eg hatches are keeping their values.. Lol
i wish that i was able to do all that work by myself. A body shop would rape me (no homo)

i agree that eg's hold there value. ive seen some civics go for twice what i paid for my tsx.
