Me and Hailie found the horn wiring in the front end and wired in the new horns!
the trigger button is the red buttons on the steering wheel. One step closer :)

Went to Home Depot and they where having a heater sale bought 2 oil filled radiator heaters for 40.00 a piece and is keeping the shop at 71 degrees when the temp is 40 with a north wind @10-15mph. These are nice and not an energy hog.

I have a natural gas heater you would find in a big warehouse in my garage and it works really good better than my furnace in the house. Its too cold for this time of year. I hope it stabilizes.

I guess I feel lucky. When I moved in, the garage at my house was insulated with that spray stuff.

It gets chilly but a knee high heater is enough for me.

It just sucks my garage ends up being motorcycle storage and my truck storage.

Id love a project Honda, its cheaper than Chevy parts.

Hey Glenn
thanks it's coming round, I'm actually seeing the light @ the end of the tunnel on this project. The heat does make it really nice. I have a large round K1 heater but I do a lot of cleaning and painting and don't like the boom factor. :(

We had heater for the garage until my oldest son got old enough to light the heater in the garage to work on his projects. The old owner had a paint shop set up and I was afraid to light it but it works great and did not even need to be cleaned. We got the turbo car running and even put new piping in but it is burning too much oil. We figure its the return line is not high enough in the sump but no one wants to fix it. A tuner friend at first said its was the motor or turbo but it does not burn oil on acceleration. I might try to fix it if I can find time but working a lot more lately and need my rest when not working.

Your car will be a nice cruiser if you keep it, the B16 is a fun motor to drive.

Me & Hailie installed 2nd headlight/corner and wiring :)

She makes me so proud! At seven Hails was helping splice wires, getting the correct size splice ready, twisting the strands tight, understanding current flow - +, haha that's my girl! We took out all the cobbling I could find re-spliced and wrapped it all with wire loom.
We love the look of the angel eyes and HIDs are the deal. Another project on Lil Red done.

Alarm speaker for under the hood

This is about as small as they get. It's 12v and LOUD for the size. It diapered under the hood. 2"x3" x1.5". It was small enough to be mounted on the back of the headlight assembly housing, pointing right out of the radiator support.
Added the horn relay last night lol but not till I burnt the contacts in the horn switches! eBay to the rescue found the exact same ones from America's bank/FINANCE CO.> China.
Side note: everything mentioned here in this post came from China, sad huh.

You have a few months before the weather breaks anyways. I cant wait to see the progress and I know its going to be really nice when done but with you that might be never which is a good thing and as long as you can drive it.
