Operation: EVO restore....

Well everyone, most of you by now have read my story of my cousin basically screwing the whole family over (if not click herehttps://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=288097 ) So after many hours of rehab, i have the car beginning to look, well, like a car again! I've taken many hours to remove the spraypaint, waxed it, redid all the iintierior cleaned and started to remove the adhesive residue left from him ripping off the tint in the back, and fixed the front bumper lip...so now I just need to wait for the brakes and the tires to get here (got Nitto neo-gens for $80 a pop) Also the motor is at the machine shop right now as well. So hopefully by next week or the week after it will be a fully functioning Evo again.










look!! no more stickers!!











well let me know what you guys think!!

It looks a million times better!! Would you like to donate it to the "poor asian kid wants an Evo" fund? Just playin. If I had the cash I would help your fam out by taking it off your hands in its current condition.
