well i used to have a 81 bonneville. it was stock. i got rid of that car cuz the tranny went out and i totaled the car. i dont have any pics of it.

then i had an 83 s10 that i tried to put the bonnevilles motor in. didnt fit.
Image
then i had a 74 datsun 620 that i swapped a buick v6 in. i was almost finished with it, but lost interest.
Image

now ive got the pup, and i dont plan on getting rid of it anytime soon.

Well my luv is my oldest vehicle (longest owned)
went from this
Image
to this
Image
Then I got this to park Tilted
Image
Traded in the yellow LUV as I lost the 3rd cylinder and got this
Image
and did this to it
Image
sold that to get my tow rig that I only towed once with it
Image
and did this to it (7 inches lower)
Image
couldnt afford the 8 MPG with the 454 so I sold it and got this
Image
and turned it into this
Image
Couldnt drive it in the winter any more so I had to get this
Image
So far have done this to it, actually have done more than this, but dont have any recent pics
Image
and also my grandfather passed away 1998 had promised to let me have his first vehicle he ever bought when I was fifteen.
Image
and yes it runs, just wont stop though as all the rubber is pretty deteriorated.

yeah, those subs sounded great but only lasted me about 2 weeks. blew em straight up. once those blew i put 3 mtx 10's in there.
when i got the car. It had no 5th gear, the owner lived in canada and drove it back and forth so much it worn out.
I'll tell ya what? I'm all american muscle, no ricer crap. The only reason i bought it is it came at a great price (1000). Bought it from a 75 year old russion dude that couldn't speak english. I DIDN"T put those rims on there! The old man did :lol: Picture a old man rollin around town in that :lol:
I beat the shit outta this car. Spead shifting became manditory for me to see what i could break on it. Trannys were fine to replace for me. They were cheap, and not to brag or anything, but i could replace the trans in about an hour with all the times i had to do it :lol:
Other than the trans, this car always started and ran great :D It was super reliable. I never had to worry about it not starting. Sold it for 2 grand and had it sol within a day. I had 4 people i work with try to hand me cash. I beat the hell outta it but i kept it waxed and super clean at all times.
Kinda wished i didn't sell it. My wife is now driving a 91 escort now and it keeps me pretty busy on the weekends to keep it runnin. I actually had to replace the whole front end this weekend after hitting a pole :(
Overall, I think the 86-89's are one of the best looking hondas to date.
I had 5 full piece armrest plus one cup holder :o After i sold the car i put them on ebay and made 400 bucks :D

z's are cool. the inline 6 alone hauls ass. High rpm, massive torgue. I can only imagine what one would feel like with a 350 8O
the z's are really unique cars. Personally I don't really like them. Don't get me wrong. I like the styling but there very dificult to drive. For one, you sit really low in the car cause of the seats making it damn near impossible to see over the hood, even adjusting the seat back. The wiper is in my derect view. It's so tight it feels like your in a cockpit. I have to drive with the window down just to feel like i can breathe. The shifter is really looonnnggg, making shifting a pain in the ass and really sloppy.
There's no power steering so you have to be moving to turn the wheel.

I was going to paint it and sell it but i may keep it now. Even though it's a pain to drive i still like the looks i get from people seeing a classic z (i haven't seen another around here before). This car is the whole reason i'm not done with the Luv yet. The z was trashed when i got it. Paid 300 bucks. I've been just working my way up with it to get it street legal. It's still not registered or insured but i'm still driving it back and forth to work. Once it's ready and legal i'm going to be taking my time with the Luv and starting from scratch to do it right the first time :D

When i bought the car. My buddy sent it in a regular invelope and the machine at the post office chewed up the title :x As of right now i'm still doing the paper work for a new title. If i can't get it i'm going to strip the whole car down to nothin and put all the parts on ebay. I'm still thinking about putting the 2.8 inline 6 in my Luv. I measured and it would be a very tight fit but I think it would work. That would be really different :)
