Hey all. This is going to be my offical build thread. I recently purchased a 2004 Touring Fully Loaded 6 speed Z. The only problem was, it was a theft recovery. The thieves presented a fake ID and had the car gone for a little over one hour! And this is the outcome. This car is going to take me a little while to get together because I'm a 19 year old college student. I paid for the car myself and have to pay for everything, so funds are limited after paying for my apartment at school, phone, insurance on the other car, gas, etc. Here are pics of the car as I bought it.
