hey guys i have alot of updates!!! sorry i havent updated since i first started but alot has changed with my baby! i took as many pictures as i could and finally had some time to throw them up on here.

[69projectKAOS]

my baby is almost done! the body shop just had to wet sand it and finish buffing it and then replace the few pieces they took off for paint. i ended up going with a apple red instead of white or black. i also had the shop install a set of bullet mirrors because the stock ones just didn't cut it for me. the drip rails were also painted the same color as the car. it seemed like an eternity that the car has been gone but it actually took less than a year. i know that some guys on here have had there cars in the shop for longer than that but, i am very pleased with the work that the shop has done and i am extremely excited to get it back and install all the goodies that i have sitting in my room and parts yet to come. i aquired a set of 18" ROH international "Modena" 3 piece wheels 245 40r 18 off of a bmw m3 that i bought and i did a mock up of them on the car while it was being worked on and they fit and look great except i need a small spacer for the rear to clear the leaf and inner fender well. oh and they kid with the football shirt on in the engine compartment is me right after the pull. this project has gotten to this point with the help of my family and thanks to them there will be great times to come. thanks for looking , let me know what you think-dom

i had it done at my fathers friend owns a shop called Middle island collision in middle island on route 25. the shop has had the car since september of last year which really is not that long and they have done a lot of work and i got it at a sweeet price as well.i was there the other day and they said i should have it back before the end of the week which is making me so antsy because i want to put all my goodies on with my dad and brothers and just take it out for a cruise. i am aiming to have everything squared away for april 18th for Street Wars in jersey, but i will keep everyone posted as things progress. thanks-dom
