true, You will get the satisfaction of knowing you did it all, compliments will mean so much more to you instead of just buying a built car and receiving compliments

I see a home-made brace bolted to the bottom of it and it's right under the windshield wiper motor.

Thats the so called ABS brake system, which actually works quite well for me, it did leak before but its all good now once i replaced a few lines. Many people who have ABS eliminate it with either using the mazdatrix ABS delete kit, or if people have parts cars that are non-abs equiped they swap. I decided to keep mine.
