Lighting was cool this morning, so I snapped a few shots right before leaving for work.
I'm happy so far.world renown Harry Potter expert

I gotta say, you are doing a really good job on this.
Here's an interesting story, close to the same car.
Usually, you just hear about the possibility of a car through word of mouth, with no promise of an actual, tangible automobile. Someone’s grandmother dies, or your college roommate’s neighbor is cleaning out their garage, and someone thinks to tell you about it because you like cars. You’re not sure what to think, and if you’re smart, you don’t ask too many questions before going to check it out in person, all the while keeping your skepticism or excitement to yourself.

The "friend" was smart to take the rare parts. From here, I see 13x6.5 Borrani wheels. Those pull a premium right now.
That's probably not a car I'd try to sort out. The amount of metal repair would more more than I can handle, and more than I'd want to pay someone to do correctly.
I'm balls deep into bodywork and paint with the tii with a bubble here or there, and it's not going to be cheap. I should start posting pictures of that car again. It's getting the full make over.world renown Harry Potter expert

To be honest, when I first saw the color, I didn't really love it. But the finished product looks amazing, and I am now totally in love with the color, and the car. I really liked the blue car, but I think this one has taken the lead.Comment

I've actually been daily driving this car for the last month or two. Not a single issue to speak about (knock on wood). I did 320 miles in a day the other week while surfing Malibu's pristine right point breaks, and everything just worked.
Thank you Mr.
I like the car, but I really liked building it. Now that it's "done", I'm not sure what to do next.
