I purchased it in january of 08. It was a theft recovery shell. Lots of parts were missing but in turn, it came with a car jammed FULL of parts..
First on the list of things to do was paint. The cars body was in okay shape. (besides the quarter) But none the less i wanted it PERFECT. First thing that was to be done to it was a new quarter and a FULL paint job.
As it arrived at Tom's (aka T-Rock on the boards)
Old quarter panel coming off :
New quarter panel coming on:
Prepwork/ paint:
(At this time i had the Antenna and rear wiper squirter shaved/ deleted.
PAINT:
She then made her way back to my house in June. Sat in the garage waiting for more parts to arrive/ wrong parts to arrive/ i ordered parts and kept changing my mind. I made a lot of progress in the past few weeks on it. I dont get to work much on her since i have such a busy schedule.
Fresh pictures as of today. ( First night outside the garage since the fresh paint.
Final parts arriving:
First week of October/ Last week of sept.:
*Goal was to get it running by MM 10/3. Spent 1 overnighter(on a work week
to get her done) Thanks to Ryan and Bryan and Terry who helped me out a lot. At this time most of the interior was finished, front end on, harnesses in, etc etc and got her running. No exhaust yet nor Teins. They go on next week. Anyhow. On with the pics 
Mugen Twin Loop (JDM) Omni-power test pipe, and O2 Eliminator.
***CLEARLY you can see a flaw in UPS's shipping quality.*** Im seriously still PISSED. Brought it home and was ready to put it on tonight too
As well id like to thank tom for doing such a great job painting it/ putting up with me, as well as steph for keeping up on pics. Kris for giving me ac parts. lol. And anyone else who has helped me with parts/ or help in general. And not to forget bryan for letting this bee tailgate him the whole ride home from chicago with it.
