    Default ***My painting piece by piece...***

    I switched projects earlier this year when the chance came up to purchase a eg hatch.
    I have always wanted one and it was a bare rolling shell. Perfect for me to build from the ground up the way I want to.
    Special thanks to Ricky, Johnny, Brett, and Jamal. Without you guys i wouldnt be where im at now.
    Here is where im at...her name is Layla...



    When i first got her














    Decided to paint the engine bay before the motor was dropped in...









    Then the trans was bolted up to the motor...





    Then the motor being dropped in and turbo assembly...









    Then we took apart the turbo etc for new gasket and to clean it out...



    See what color it was?



    See what it should be?
