The only way it can be considered finished is if you sell it so you can't do any more changes.

ok so I'm not really done, but you know what I mean, it's up and running.
I really should say "My wife thinks I finished the car".

I know the feeling that was me 3 years ago, but I stuck with it and it payed off. These cars will turn heads if you fix them up and get them running properly.

Nice looking. You did a good job. I wonder what will happen if you drive the car in the rain. Looks like the air filters could get wet.

Yeah the car is not set up to drive in the rain. There is a way to fix that problem, but since my car is not a daily driver, I only drive it when the suns out!!
