1995 Honda Del Sol a.k.a. Chardonnay
Originally from New York, this 90s classic was being destroyed by rust. Panel by panel we discovered more and more surprises which sent us on – what felt like a wild goose chase for rare parts. With prices for these classic skyrocketing, we had to become very creative as we DIY’ed our butts off in order to restore this rust bucket to it’s former 90s glory.

2002 Honda Civic Si EP3 a.k.a. Stella
This absolute gem from the early 2002s and my favorite car that I have ever owned was found on Facebook Marketplace up in the panhandle of Florida. Originally, it came into port via Japan into Miami. From there, it ended up in Montana, North Dakota and then back down to Florida again before returning to South Florida – just in time for a much needed restoration. While this car was not nearly in as bad of a shape as the Del Sol – it still needed some work. Watch as I build the dream car that I could never afford as a broke college student.
