This is amazing man! I'm in the lucky guy who's got a girl who loves CRX's club too. My lady loves both of mine. You HAVE to post a pic or video of the reaction. Awesom idea for her, I'm sure she will love it!

Very, very cool story man. You gotta film her reaction on the special day and post it up. We all love that stuff.


I'm very jealous cuz you have the wheels I've always wanted.

My favorite story going. Way to go man. Please get her reaction. At least a photo....


Those wheels... well....
Guy down the street from me would part with his for a fair price. Seems he just put tires on them, but he cares not a whit what wheel they are on, and he likes cash.

Zeus, if you want them, I'll talk to the man. They are in pretty good shape.

My "restoration" wasn't nearly as extensive as many others, and there is still a lot I can do to improve it once the surprise is unveiled. As part of the surprise, I kept track of everything I did on a daily basis, and put it into a book form. I've also included sections on how I got the car, and some history and pictures of all the other cars my wife has owned.

Here's a couple pics of the finished product:






I have everything arranged to bring the car home about 3am on Christmas day - as long as my wife has finished wrapping and gone to bed!

That book is a tasty finishing touch.


Just all-around awesome. I'll be thinking of you two on Christmas morning.

Thanks for the encouragement guys, and especially you Tim, for sharing your enthusiasm right from the beginning. I hope things are going okay for you.

With any luck, she'll understand immediately that I have to post an update Christmas morning!

Ahh, dude, it's just a really nice story. Low mileage CRX + restoration + all done for love + done correctly...???

Priceless.

I think you should have someone snap a photo with her behind the wheel, and you riding shotgun or something...

Merry Christmas, you two crazy kids!

I got 10 bucks says he's getting some serious loving Christmas night.....

Ha! I was going to post the same thing. Actually, I'll RAISE you $10...


I've got $20 saying he doesn't have time to make a post/update on Christmas at all

Kudos to you good sir on an excellent restoration job and an even better heart for your lady!

Merry CRXmas!

1 am - watching A Christmas Carol.
My stomache is in knots I'm so nervous for everything to go right.

I'm picking up my brother from the airport in a couple of hours - everyone here SHOULD be asleep - we'll stop to pick up the car and I'll bring it home and park it in the driveway.

Keep your fingers crossed!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

[Old School REX]

[veritasaequatis]

I'm so anxious waiting for this. Please update her reaction asap.

[EuphoricBlue]

Totally looking forward to reading (or maybe seeing) how this goes! I'm sure she's going to love it.
