The Civic will be simple compared to that.

After all the work I put into it last summer (new tranny and clutch, new struts/shocks/coilovers, new timing belt/water pump, new motor mounts) my wife is probably not going to be real keen on it taking up her spot in the garage again. So, it will either be work on it outside or pay someone.
I'm for doing it yourself outside! Yah!!!

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.
