I'm actually planning to do that in the next year or two... I'm going to completely tear down my CRX. Pull all the glass, moldings, etc, off of it. I might even pull the engine and freshen everything up. Put new bushings all around, give it a nice new paint job with everything removed from it, etc. Make it just like 'brand new' again.
Only problem is, at that point, I DEFINATELY won't want to drive it any more -- it will just be too nice. At this point, I kinda want to find out where in the country I will be when it turns over 200k miles (seems like I take a 5000+ mile road trip once every year or two in this car, as it is).
