guess I'll start off my introduction with some history on my car and the history I have with it.

So back in 2008 I moved to Florida to live with my brother and uncle I was around 14yo and my brother was 17yo.
Around that time my brother ended up buying the 240 with about 172k miles. Bone stock, gun metal grey, 5 speed, non super hicas, se hatch.

It was decently clean centeral FL car.
One day we were leaving school and got rear-ended by a Tahoe. The insurance company paid out for the car but never filed the paperwork. (Still clean title) so our uncle ended up getting it pretty well straight with a Porta power.

Probably 6 months later my brother's friend's talked him into spray painting the car.

2009 we ended up moving to Oregon and a lady ended up backing her truck up on the hood🙄 insurance paid out for the car again but didn't file the paperwork with the DMV AGAIN hah
You can see the hoods messed up in this picture.

The cops here really started hassling him because of how it was painted so he ended up spraying it again...

And his friends went crazy with the hood.

My brother ended up moving to Alaska with me a few months later and over the next 4 years would drive the car only on his month off that he'd spend in Oregon.
Over the next 6 years nothing besides wheels changed on the car. Over those 6 years I had several different cars an Accord, 350z, lifted Jeep ect. Kept trying to buy it from him but he'd never sell it to me.
Well the end of 2019 he ended up getting married and telling me I could buy it for $500 and drive it home so I showed up to buy it and it wouldn't start. The fuel pump had gone out so he replaced it and I picked it up later that day.

I scored a clean set of bumpers for cheap so threw them in the daily.

The car still had the trashed hood on it and both headlights just weren't right so bought a clean set.

And that's pretty much as far as I've gotten. I'll keep this updated as best as I can.
Any help on making the pictures work would be awesome
