i started taking the car apart the other day to get ready to work on it for paint. We took the door handles off, lining, vortex generator, headlights, taillights, side markers pretty much everything lol. I also have a Replica JDM 9 rear bumper that i may put on it is actually a very good replica and fits damn near perfect. YES A REPLICA! and i got it for a very good price that i could'nt pass up and i am very happy with it . Hopefully i will have the car painted by the end of next week. I still have to modify the rear crash beam and do a couple more things but it will get done






This pic its just hanging down so don't think that is how it sits lol!



my friends son holding it up for the picture.

been working on the body this week hopefully finish up and get it painted early next week. When i bought the car it had a break in the front bumper where the passenger air duct is.. now thats fixed. I also covered the Mitsu sign.. i was planning on doing a nose chop but i decided not to and go a diff. route. Welded the trunk holes also. Only thing left to do is the rear bumper, prime and paint .

My engine is all dirty now once i get her back home she is going to need alot of POLISHHHHHINGGGG!!!! lol
















And my baby boy "BOOST" is hungry
