    Default I guess this is my build/intro thread (EM1)

    ~UPDATE PAGE 2~
    Hey guys, I've been on IA just lurking for the most part but I decided to break out of my shell and make a build thread.
    So in the summer my car was stolen out of Kohl's parking lot when I lent the car to my mom (I was in China).
    And so here's my rebuild...

    I was so glad they left behind the motor...


    I wondered why they left my left fender.


    Interior was not a pretty sight.

    And so it begins.

    Fresh headlights.


    Installed.



    new bumper/lip


    Installed.


    After cleaning up the mess... this is what's left.


    Sorry EVO owners... I just loved your seats so much. If I'm disgracing your seats, then I'm sorry...


    But later in the week I got new carpet and interios pieces, so it came back out.




    Most things back in...



    Rear seats, thanks to Willy

    HELLLL YES MAN!... rebuild that shit! make it better than before. if someone steals my car i don't know what i'm going to do... i'm sure i'll cry for quite a while and then bitch and moan for a couple of months and then just get a crappy truck and get over it a year later lolol. i'm glad to see you have the funds and will to put it back together.

    kudos, sir. i got you back in the green too.

    Wow, the car looks A LOT better already! Reps!

    How much were the seats?

    I suggest you should buy aftermarket steering wheel, nrg hub, nrg quick release, and nrg hub lock. Then you wont have to worry about theft.

    Thanks! I sold off the old bumper to a guy somewhere on the site, because I have no need for two bumpers.
