The Story
in the 90s I was very involved in the mini truck scene, but I was putting together sport compacts at the time in an effort to do something different. Thirty years later and I'm back at it. Purchased this car with zero intent on making any changes except maybe an exhaust. That quickly snowballed into version 3.0. This car has been on lowering springs...to coil overs... to now air.
I've always put an effort for a project that is timeless and period correct, striving for something classy and elegant, using the best of the best parts that I can afford.
this almost final version has been touched front to back, top to bottom. I'm super happy with where the car is now. Version 4.0 would cost me another 25k ish, so this will more than likely be the final version. This car really needs to be seen in person in order to enjoy the full effect of the custom paint & the fine details that are easily overlooked upon first glance.
