The car is now street legal. Tag, inspection, and insurance all acquired. Now I have the joy of teaching Wes how to drive a “stick.” He has been practicing in the driveway learning how to use the clutch and is getting better. We’re headed out tonight to drive around town and get more practice.

It turns out the horn works a little too well. It seems the horn buttons on the steering wheel are “always-on.” I could not get it to stop blowing once I replaced the horn itself. I eventually ran a bypass in-line with the power source and connected a momentary switch. I noticed that one of the fan belts is wearing pretty bad so I purchased replacements and will hopefully have time this weekend to work on them.

Well we’ll finally will have the title in our hot little hands tomorrow no thanks to the State Tax office. We should be able to insure it as well. Only thing we have left to make it pass inspection is to fix the horn. I will try to get that done tonight or tomorrow. Wes still needs to learn how to drive the “stick.” We’ll work on that as well.

To date we have the Civic running a little better than before. All has been fixed/replaced with the exception of the body work. A total of 4 new tires, new battery got it back in running order. The lights and all work and the radio has been installed and is working.

All-in-all, so far so good. At this point we’re only waiting on the title to come in to the previous owner. Not sure why it is taking so long. Hopefully we’ll have it legal soon. Stay tuned for Pics.
