this guy has some serious heart. If i was a woman, i would marry him. LoL

And in a sportcross, that can only mean one thing...he wanted it to handle well too! The contrast between colors is amazing, i like the different color.

Seeing as I used to rock the wagon for a while, I really love the fact someone took it and really went some where with it. The only other person i know of that has done this swap is Rod Millen.

Leroy, that SportsX swap has been the talk of the IS world for the past year. its been a pretty well documented buildup and swap. all at home by a DIYer, even the PAINT!! It warms my heart.

I've been contemplating a SportCross as a Daily to replace my accord seeing this might have just sealed the deal lol even though I have no plans but suspension and wheels for the wagon.

I was thinking the same thing... real sweet ride.

The heart and drive of some people to create a really unique vehicle is just amazing.
