Ill roll with shadys idea… My BMX Bikes (FBM, Kink, Free Agent, Standard, Profile… parts used to build them costs somewhere around 800$ every time I made another one). I rode the balls off those things, had fun all the time, saw some cool places, met some cool people… and as corney as this sounds, I met my soon to be wife at a skate park! She thought a goofy ass skinny BMX kid was sexy! hahaha. ---

I got this 91 Civic hatch with a blown engine for $500 with no rust and new paint. I spent another $400 for a complete B17 swap out of a local junk yard. This included the complete swap, 4 wheel disk brakes, instrument cluster, down to the seats. My initial investment was $900. ![http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/CJRando/hatch.jpg](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b253/CJRando/hatch.jpg) ---
