Wow they sure put a lot of work into that!

I'm confused by how they remark how awesome the patina is, then they completely get rid of it. I loved the pantina, and would have left it myself.

Turbos, Hondas, 4-bangers, what could go wrong?

Oh man, for a minute there, I thought TOOLS was starting a cafe build! I almost had a heart attack. LOL

Cool build, I like the picture of the bike partially disassembled, with a crowbar and PIPE WRENCH laying next to the engine! Use what ya got! lol

It doesn't look like he used very many new parts, but cleaned the heck out of most of the old ones.
