It begins, the makeover I've been in the process of wanting to do for over a year. The back story, I had the money to finally get this done last year, when I blew my car up :( So I had to spend all my money fixing that problem, sadly. So I have been stock piling some of these parts for close to a year, feels damn good to be on the way.

So Heres how Kyle and I started yesterday...

I know it's dirty, but we didn't want to wash it and have the stupid thing dripping on us all day, hahahaha. I'll wash it when I do the reinstall, as I want to buff it also while its apart. Also we only took off parts that are being replaced or painted.... yea there is a LOT of new crap going on this thing.

Then earlier that morning I feared for my life, as I stuck $600 Ford Racing HID's in my oven... thankfully they are ok :) Biggest PITA to disassemble the innards of these damn things...

Interior... hey, where did my corbeaus go? I think some one stole them. I only got a glimpse of the get-away car... I only remember bicycle tread......

One of two new parts we installed yesterday, glossy triangles!!!!!!!! (The other was a FocalJet sticker!)

The way I drove it home from the shop (1 block). It took me 5 attempts to get up my driveway, because it has one tiny little spot of snow on it. *Note to self Kumho MX's are not winter tires*

Some new goodies, Thanks to HotRodWagon for bringing the bumper out to me!

Huge thanks goes out to Kyle!

We also setup the wiring for the euro tails and finished wiring the Mach harness in. All in all a very productive day. I'll keep this post alive as I add more to it and get my stuff back from paint :)

Getting up that thing sucked. I finally had to back all the way into the street and punch it to get enough momentum to slide up the snow, haha.

Hood is getting recleared and the side parts are being paint matched y0!

Rebuilt the HIDs this morning. Plugged them in (with no housing or lense) EVERYTHING works :) God damn those things are bright as hell with the reflector pulled out (Hid mods from FJ). I can't wait to drive this thing at night :)

Awesome! Works the first shot. Thats the one thing I was worried about. I had doubts in my wiring after my happenings with my DIY Euros.

I think hes talking about pulling the top reflector out. It gives more light output.
