I Let One Of My Favorite Cars Get Trashed. It's Bad! - Restoration and Modification Plans Begin Now

In this video, I introduce you to my beloved, and long-neglected, 2008 Honda Element SC. I've owned this car for a handful of years after finding it for a STEAL on craigslist back in 2018. It's been through a lot of ups and downs but it's finally time to kick off some much-needed "M and R" (that's modifications and restoration, it's basically like rest and relaxation for cars).
This is the starting point of the journey. If you are a fan of Honda Elements, hit subscribe and join me on the journey of rebuilding my mini- #vanlife stealth car-camping K-series powered dreams.

Yo! Subscribed just so I could follow the new Element Build. Stoked to see your journey and what parts you put on there and why.

[@artimotiv]

Thank you! Hopefully I can create enough content to make it worth it! 🙏

What kind of fog lights are you running on your SC? I am looking to add fog lights to mine.

[@artimotiv]

They are actually OEM Factory Honda fog lights on the 2007/2008 Element SC model/bumper.
These are basically the same ones made by an aftermarket company: ebay.us/gMd0or
