The story:
The first car I bought in 2015 was a barely rolling shell of a 1992 Nissan 240sx S13 Convertible. The 19 months that followed have been full of up and downs. I want to give a big thanks to all the true masters of their crafts, the shops, brands, distributors, and sponsors that made my dream come true especially Chris from Dirty Built who oversaw the A to Z of this whole project.
