Final Connection Plus GS**Finished with PICS**

I'm doing a little thread on a clients vehicle. A final connection body kit will be going on the GS as well as performing some body work on the entire vehicle. Body work consist of rock chips on hood, repairing dents on fender and top of roof. Check out the current pics and should be finished by the end of the week.

Caoboy-Thanks for stopping by and checking out my shop.

Autofashion,

I'm in Norther Cali, located in Oakdale near Modesto/Stockton area. My shop primarily does custom work for restorations and such. My dad is well known in that field whereas I'm into imports and european. We do all types of work and insurance as well. What sets us apart from other shops is that we have a clean facility and nothing leaves our shop without going through a quality check list. So everything comes out show room quality.

I'll try to post some pics later tmw to show your our work. We just got done with a type R conversion for an intergra...Came out looking clean.

If Brandon sees this, this is the shop I was talking about man!

Andy, I've already given out most of those cards you gave me lol.

Looking good dude...when's this planning to be finished? You got this car after the 'other one' and there's more progress on it lol.

And for anybody who's in doubt, don't worry, the rims will be changed out soon enough lol. I think suspension is on the way as well, but not sure.

It all depends on what you want. From a show quality paint job or just painting certain panels here and there. Oh yeah it also depends on the condition of your original paint.

pxrlex,

Yeah the paint comes out like glass!!!

I'll be in town Friday around 5. I need to have someone else come along with me too, so that they can take me home after dropping the car off. After I leave the car with you, the following week on the 4th I might end up coming into town if my work doesn't hold a public hearing. I can bring the rims and mount it on the car and you'll see it completely done. I can't wait =)
