There also may be a lot of people who agree with what your opinion is too. At the end of the day, why be nasty? Doesn't make sense to me.
Agreed; however, I believe Hong Kong is still in China

Default Great project!

Another interesting project that I learned from... peeling back the insulation to check the wires. Would you ever consider doing a video on how you built that Power Source Box on the wall? That looks like a really handy device for easily checking electrical items.

his car, his choices on what he does to it. You can like it or hate it. If not your cup of tea -you have 2 options:
1: just keep scrolling
2: keep it civil, simply state not for you and move on.

I appreciate everyone for defending my interest and opinion, im just seeing this thread and i assume the posts were removed before i saw them. "perfect". I just hope to inspire and reach the people that find at least 1 of the things i do interesting.
To the ones that enjoyed, you are very welcome. Im still a bit youthful and enjoy doing things in the "Mod Realm". Maybe when i get a little bit older/mature ill appreciate cars for how they just are, but right now i'm living! ....."Yall be safe nah!"

I don't think that it's as you get older, you just appreciate the cars for what they are. I think it's more of a 'I spent my whole life modding everything I have, from cars to bikes to computers to BBQs and so on and I'm tired of chasing problems of my own creating and I just want the damned thing to work.' At least that's my case.

I tricked out my old Chevy 3500. Lowered, notched frame, flipped springs, custom milled wheels, etc. Motorcycles? Step 1 was to throw away the factory suspension, replace it with custom valved Ohlins, toss the license braked, make my own and etc. On and on, from building salt water mixing station for my fish tank to shelving in the garage.

The Chevy ate tires. The bikes, well, no complaints there, except working on bikes is frustrating. The F-Type works and I just want to drive it. After I installed the Smart Top and the UAD. And debadged it. But I swear that's it!
