Chris's CB Build
Chris's CB Build
For the most part I have been a lurker for the past several months, but that does not mean I have not been busy. I had debated waiting the a formal unveiling, but the anticipation has gotten the best of me.
As most of you know I bought my G used in early 2010. I love the car, but I had to make it my own. I submitted a picture early on for the car of the month, some of you might remember this picture:
I cleaned the car up pretty well and made some small mods that suited me, but it was still someone elses ride. In October, I got in a little fender bender. That always sucks, but some of us look at it like an opportunity. If you ask my wife, I tend to go a little overboard, but what can I say. Here was the damage:
So I started to scour the forum here looking for what it would take to make this car my own. I like the color, so a color change was not in the cards. Alot of cool body mods, but I had to keep it as a daily driver and had to have a reasonable build time. So here is what I came up with. Please excuse the photo skills. These are shot with a Nikon D90, but in untrained hands, it is a better weapon than a camera.
Next, I going to be hooking up with Danny, making some room for some new shoes and working on the wheel well gap a little, but keeping in mind, I live on a dirt road, I am not going to be able to go wild.
I am happy with the results so far, but this is always a work in process. Maybe Air suspension and some VS-XX wheels and I might be happy for another week or so!
Give me your thoughts!
