You just won your state's lottery, you paid off all your bills and donated a large sum to a local charity. What things would you buy/build/do for your beloved 1G/3G with the money that was left?

I'd buy her a machine shop complete with CAD/CAM and the people to run it. Then I'd duplicate her piece by piece until she'd been cloned. Then I'd start selling all o'y'all stock replacements

Well, A little plan actually.
First off, the lottery... lets say I win about 5 million after taxes and it is whats in my hand.
Take some high end automotive repair schooling to some of the most advanced degrees over the course of about.... 5 years.
I would buy every 1g I see on eBay, then start building made-to-order 1g CRX's. They could have anything your heart desires. I would put everything from huge engines to huge sounds systems to completely stock and built to spec or better than original.
That, is truly my dream job, to have restoring old cars become a profession would be awesome. The only thing that will ever hold me back from it is the amount of money it will take to start off with it and also be able to stay in a solid financial situation.
One more thing: MY CRX - I would build a complete 1g CRX, All stock JDM engine components, an opened up head, slightly heightened compression, stock 2g Si seats, floor mats from dstuning.com, a great sound system, tripometer, ummm man a bunch of other stuff too...

X2!!! but for my 3G.
Oh and my 3G would be a bi-turbo mid-engined road eating monster, capable of towing said trailer and pulling low 8's in the 1/4
Then with my other wrecked 3G I would have to bring it back to stock condition THEN I would start converting it to electric with all the bells and whistles, regen braking, solar panelled roof, Li-ion batteries (think laptop batteries) THEN I would use some more of that fat cash to convert my new house over to solar/wind power generation and use that to charge my electric 3G.
FYI: the people down the block have this totally killer teardrop trailer like the oldschool ones, but half the size!!!! PERFECT for towing behind a small car. It even has this rollup panel on the back of it that when rolled up it exposes a tiny kitchen deal with a sink/propane stove and a microwave!!!! I'll get pics of it for you next time I see it, you will just DIE when you see it RARECRX!!!

All I would do is finish it. It's pretty quick already, anything more would be a real handful...
