Evo build process!

Ok i got my evox for only 14,000 bucks.. so i went and picked it up in buffalo, new york..so i figured that 6-9 g's will get her looking and driving like new.. so i'll be posting up pics as the stages of her get done..

here is when i first picked her up!!




ok got some of the suspension parts on and now have the spare wheel on her looking all good!


ok here it is after getting the car back from the frame shop.. got the strut bar on got everything pulled and put the fender and hood on and everything now aligns up perfect now.. jus got my front bumper in and so the painting begins.. painting the hood, fender, bumper, side skirt and alil area under the hood where he welded everything together.. paints going to cost around 400-450bucks.. here is how the car looks as of now..

it was bloody cold so only snapped these four pictures!






as of 3/24/09

Oh, wow. A lot of work, but so far an excellent job! What are your plans - street car/DD, road course, or drag?
