So after selling my 98 GT-S sometime in July...I decided to seek out my dream car! Here's a little story of my adventure to see a GT-Four, up front and in person, for the very first time...
Dragged two buddies along for the journey. We planned for the 12:30pm sailing at the horseshoe bay terminal in BC, to get to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Turns out the sailing was full and we waited 3 hours for the next sailing. After 1.5 hrs on the ferry we hauled a** 150km north of Nanaimo to Campbell River (keep in mind the last sailing home is 9pm). Finally arriving at the place we took a look at the car, took it for a spin and worked out the payment details. The pro: engine is still running strong even with meerly 103,000kms The cons: various surface rust here and there The solution: leave the car there, get all the surface rust sanded out and get a full paintjob (at my cost)... then ship it to me Now, I'm just waiting for it to arrive!....time for some teaser pics! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   More pictures to come when it arrives! The wait is killing meee.... This post has been edited by nammer: Feb 20, 2011 - 11:27 PM -------------------- |

It's been a while but since I got the car, I installed JDM tails (still need to take some pics of it) and custom JDM projectors and high beams!
I bought the projectors from whatthe (thanks!) but the chrome surfaces were flaking...so I decided to make the best of it and customize them. Basically I took the lights apart, and gave the chrome few coats of gloss black I left the back chrome on the highs alone, and only painted the front chrome part, figuring that painting the back black will probably affect how the high beam works..but I'm tempted to open them up again to paint them.... tell me what you think...I'm open to criticism
