    Remember my old white vert? The story in pictures

    Well, it's been through a lot in the last couple years.

    Circa 2010 when I owned it





    Then I sold the car, he installed some air ride suspension.



    some unfortunate things happened to the car, so he resprayed it.



    Then, he sold the air ride setup and went back to ground controls



    Then, he started prepping it for paint again. By then, I started missing her a lot and eventually convinced him to trade me the car back.

    The day I received her back



    About a year passed and the car sat in this condition, I began to collect parts and this June I started the process of bringing her back to life

    I got in contact with the previous owner, and then lots of money started being spent ;D

    I shipped my set of ARE's across the country, and he started building the air suspension setup for me.



    I wanted this project to be complete by the end of September for the H2oi show in OCMD. With a week to spare, my buddy was able to completely respray the car



    We started piecing the car together the night before the show



    And here she is completed!










    Major props goes to Michael Hockman and Jarred Hower and all of my friends for bringing this car back to life in such a short amount of time

        I lost the rocker trim, and other various trim pieces and had no time to source other ones. Also I kinda dig the white rockers and rear valence for now.

          Oh I don't mind the rear valence... The white rockers just look off to me... Too much color not enough contrast IMO

                Nice transformation! Didn't realize this was the same car. The last pic (rolling) is bad ass.

                  Ive been a fan for a while. This was my favorite version but good that you are still going at it. I think that painting the lip white will make the white rockers work better. :up:

                    This car makes me want to buy a vert for the old lady. Looked sick rolling up when I picked up the S50 from Mike.

                          lookin good. kind of a shame the bumpers, trim and tail lights were left on for paint though.
