New guy's ride.

Well I guess i'll give some background on the car first. I got it about a year and a half ago after I blew the motor in my Accord. I got it from my dad's friend who is a mechanic and the car was abandoned at his shop so I got it for only $500. It had some damage but we took it to my dad's shop (he does body work) and started working on it.

I immediately started doing things like the wire tuck and stripped all of the sound deadening material out of the trunk.

My friend gave me some wheels he had and i added a lip and grill. This is what i got.

I got it lowered and got new wheels(SportMax 501's)

Then once everything was coming along really good... This happened...

I was hit on the side and pushed into a tree. However I was not going to let it put me down. I have the resources to keep fighting it so i did.

A week later i had this...

After I got it lowered and I had all that work done then this happened. I got side swiped.

I didn't let it stop me. I pushed on. W fixed it.

And in a week had this...

I had a primered front end on it for a while but recently painted it.

...I still am constantly doing work on it and plan to fix a few dings this saturday. This car is coming back though and it will be better.
