I guess we can call it a "VIP" build

Well this is not my first car build but prob my favorite so far. As of right now I am not gonna go crazy with the car all at once but rather spread the build out over time. but I do have some good stuff planned within the next 2 months to execute. All work will be done by me and my room mate Prime on here. as of now car just has suspension and wheels. S13 megan tracks with extended S13 lower control arms with Weds Kranze Borphes 19x9 +10 (with 32mm spacer) 19x10.5 -17 rears. wheels were really rough when we got them took a lot of love to get them to their present state which included a complete rebuild. well enough talk a couple pics of the car and I will post more once I get done with some cars for my friends and have time.Forum imageForum imageForum imageForum imageForum image
