Message	Ok, so maybe nobody anticipated it too much, but I've mentioned that it was in the making a few times. Well today I picked it up from the shop and took a few pics. The colors may be a little off cause it was a cheap camera, but you'll get the idea. (also, the odd ride-height of the back suspension is explained later on) The wheels turned out reall nice! I got a close up for ya. The next step is to paint the calipers red, or just replace them with BIGGER brakes. And now for the sad news... the idiots at the shop used spacers, and then didn't leave enough room for the lugs to catch the thread... well you can see what happened. (I guess it's going back in the shop for a few weeks now, eh?) So it was a bittersweet day. I got to see my car's potential, but I also had to watch it get badly hurt! More to come...
