I like the fact that when I'm done it's going to be hard to tell anything was done at all.

Thanks for the words guys.

Parked the car in front of the house. My eighty year old neighbor that likes to look out for us and is up all night lives across the street. So between her and the street light overhead I think everything will be fine. Now I just have to relax... and sleep.
Nice work. I'm sure you'll be fine. These cars still get stolen, but they're in less demand and yours does not have expensive aftermarket parts on it. If they can't even start it when they get in... they'll move on is my bet. And I have had mine for 11 years.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
