Unfortunately for me I got in a car accident in June 2013, Right on the way home from the picnic the guy ahead of me stopped short and you can imagine what happened. Luckily me and my friend were fine, but this beauty didnt make it:

So, later in august I bought this beauty from another college kid. He purchased it from an air force officer and didn't want to aggressively mod it, so sold it to me.

Here is what she looked like when I got her home:

Fit perfect, dont rub, who needs stance anyway.

Grabbed New lemforder Control arms, some Poly Cabs (fuck poly, getting rubber soon) some misc bits and bobs including driveshaft stuff (which was in vain because my Ujoint was bad and thats why i was throwing CSBs) and some other small stuff. Including doing my tach up, going to redo it as it was a learning process and i messed up the needles using fingernail polish. (hint use paint markers from joaan fabrics instead):



Went to the filming of "Respect your elders documentary" and got to sit right behind Steves awesome M3:

Trying to save an extremely cracked IS spoiler with plastic filler and lots of sanding, almost there, but might not actually run it and just buy a new one:
