Yup. It's a great start. I'm trying to source all the parts so I can replace the brakes on all 4 corners. I noticed there was brake fluid leaking from the left rear wheel yesterday. No bueno.

They say the 1200 Civic got 50 mpg. Probably because it weighs nothing.

Anyway. The brakes were mushy and non-existent, and I found a leak on the left rear drum. Most likely it's a bad wheel cylinder because I couldn't bleed that corner. So, I got all new parts to replace the brakes and wheel bearings and to rebuild the calipers. Scoot will be stopping on a dime soon enough.

holy crap, nice little project there! Do my eyes deceive me or is that an auto? '79? I know in TX there is a difference between antique and classic plates. Antique being show only and classic meaning you can drive it whenever (albeit with a higher registration cost). Is there no such difference in MA?

I've always wanted a cool old car to fix up and drive around for fun. Still kicking myself for passing on a sweet old Honda s600 for dirt cheap...but I had no money, no place to put it, and it didn't run...

Sam, I actually live in Ohio now. They have historical plates here, bit nothing else. Since I wanted to drive it, I picked regular plates.

Ryan, that's the car Roger built. I've been following the build for the past few years. He actually sold it to someone in Norway and bought a '78 Accord to build.

I would love to do a swap, but it's a LOT of work and custom fabrication. I'm torn between restoring it and doing a swap and leaving the exterior as it is.
