It is, but it's been a 6-year journey of living practically expense-free, no girlfriend, etc.

Can't wait to see the mods  |
Nice, good luck!

There's been a few for sale over the past few months. There was even a LCI JB on FR Ext 6MT in BC, and a $19k JB on FR 6MT in Oakville. Both had IA.

For sure, I've seen a couple recently that are clean examples.

Went I originally bought the car ~2 years ago I was content with the pre-LCI look, but recently decided to do the updated look. Either way, I'm looking forward to see how you mod this thing!

Thank-you man! Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind on the LCI upgrade.

See above reply... oh and having a summer job and a profitable detailing/restoration business helped a smidge
But again, 6-year build, and not too much happened right away. Plus supportive parents made my life easy to be completely honest with expenses for things like rent, etc. Also schooling in Canada is substantially less for tuition than in the U.S.. For example, I went to one of the top business schools in Canada, and tuition was about $15k-18k/year CAD; from what I hear, U.S. schools are like $20k+ USD, which is A LOT!
