Default 2000 rhd em1 project has come to an end! tragic :(

well after getting the car 8 years ago brand new from honda of hayward i think its life is over. it has gone threw 2 theft recovery's and now 3 accidents. the last theft 3 years ago left it crashed and salvaged . I couldn't let it go so i fixed it anyways the right way . only reason it was salvaged was because the repairs cost almost as much as the cars value. took it through a rhd conversion that lasted about a year and a half . i just finished i that in january . still wasnt complete and finished it threw the rest of the summer . car handles amazing and the mod list goes pretty high . in all i have spent around 25 k modifying my car with mostly brand new parts and and doing most of my own labor .with the exception of the rhd conversion that labor was paid for .i have pictures pretty much from when she was stock to now . i will post some up later . heres a link to what was

I think he means he is finished building it. If I'm not mistaken.

I'm guessing he wrecked it. "and now 3 accidents."
Too bad, nice car.

thats what i was thinking too...i mean do you really wanna give up that easy on a car youve had for eight years with 25k worth of parts???? Also have you had an estimate on the damage?
