Sweet. Im still on the fence about painting mine black with a flat black stripe.
That's a lot of bodywork that I'd have to do though.

I'd do this if mine wasn't a 4-door since I already have a gallon of black and a quart of satin:
I don't blame you though. I'm OK with bodywork but it's so time-consuming. I'd rather drive.

i know honda motors are a reverse rotation if thats the case for all of their motors i bet an s2000 motor would be a great motor to run. just a question transmission.

Corvairs were also built in Oshawa. That was a little before my time though. Originally Posted by shortrack

Believe you'll find the S2000 is the only Honda that's NOT reverse rotation... Originally Posted by 67cougnut

those are some cool vairs, but, I must say, the very first day I joined this forum, I poured over Tony's build thread, I should have told you sooner, but, I think your 'vair is absolutely one of my top 5 fave's on this board.....I love it, and it made me start looking around.....still probably doing a G-body, but this has planted a seed....
