So it comes with great regret, to say that I am considering selling my car. Just like every other build thread, it ends in a sale. I believe it is time to move on to something a little newer, with a little higher insurance value. I have owned this car for almost eight years. There have been good times, and bad, but I have loved it the entire time I have owned it.
I am at the point now where I can see the amount of money I need to spend to make the car the way I ultimately want it, and it just isn't worth it. I am already at a point in which if something happened to the car, there would be no way I could replace it.

The car is very good shape compared to most of the shit-box drift missiles, but it does need a few things in my eyes. Number one is exterior love. I’m a little older now so I am tired of driving around in a beat up looking old car.
