So, who else restored their current car(s)?

Just like title says. Post up your "scratch work" to its current stage.

Here's mines when I got it back in May '03:

)

Last month's 1st time photoshoot:

Oh, I thought he meant something like, "What is it!?" as in the 'representing' type of tone.

Actually, I have no clue on WTH that sticker is/was. The car did come all the way from PA though, does that help? LOL.

Haha nah. I was actually asking what the sticker was since it looks identical. Didn't mean to threadjack or anything like that.

Nice restoration

. That accident looked rough.
