Very cool. Very cool indeed. I am looking forward to seeing the build and all the haters weighing in. I think it is fair to say you got everybody's attention with the civette. Is this gonna be another 600,000 plus views thread?

the chivette was a cool idea but the s2000 is what I want. two car's I'd like to do eventually is the s2000 number one and a older mcoupe the 3 series one. both are to expensive for me to do right now though.

Let me say first these are both awseme cars.

I am wondering now that you are keeping the Civette are you going to complete the interior and paint the outside like planed?

I would think the s2000 will be easier to keep the interior looking good since you will not have to hack it up like you did the civette.
