Default Two and a half years in the making...
After 2 1/2years of work, I finally got my car up and running, Its awesome, but still a lot of work to do.

but I was out painting the garage, and after our storm, the car looked pretty cool, so i took some pictures.















I worked on cleaning up the garage today, im gonna slowly get the whole garage painted, one wall at a time






and an pic from last week, just to show the gunmetal wheels. (Centercaps still need to be painted)
