Well what can i say, ive had the car for almost 6 months and im only now really making progress, which is why i am finally posting a blog.

Well the story behind the car is my sister boyfriend bought the car about 4 years ago. He drove it around for 2 and a bit years untill he was done for driving without rego and then the cops began going around the car with a big DEFECT stamp (so to speak). the car sat in his driveway for another 2 yrs and then he moved interstate. I came into possesion of the car.

Now comes the good and bad parts of the story. 1st good part, I own a 02. 1st bad part, it wasn't working and was FULL of rust. well now i will speed through. i got the car working and started stripping it.

It was then shipped off to Bavaria cars in galdesville and they began to tune the car and we got a quote on the rust... 10K!!! not a real suprise but since this was the case we went on the path of a new shell.

Took just under a month to find one. same colour less then 10mins drive from the workshop and hardly any rust. we got it for 1k and then shipped it off to bavaria cars and it has since been stripped of every thing and is now waiting to go to the body shop.

Now for the pics
