I got her a few years ago lookin like this, (with 205,000mi :D)

drove her for about a year then the timing belt went, bent the valves, so motor swap began

I had money at the time and not so much car knowlege so I paid someone to do the swap. 

long story short I got completely screwed and ended up after 2 years with this

so I took on the project to finish her amidst losing much money and a bike to whom is now the owner of gmg motorsports (not to mention any names)

the bike

I tried to sell her at this point because of the amount of money I needed to finish her

I never got the aan ecu, harness, and many other pieces I could have used that I paid for, but no one wanted to take on the project, so I sucked it up and went for it...

so then the project for me began, a car that I had never taken apart in my life and I get to put it together with another engine sitting in there, no plumbing or no wiring...Lets just say it was a learning experience...(and still is)

5 lug conversion, brakes, and wheels

went standalone, got the motor running and such with many hurdles along the way (money, tried to sell her again half way through, time, no knowlege, etc....)

after getting her running I got to drive her every far and few between due to constant random problems...

and when it wasn't running I had a bit of bodywork to do, and just kinda ran with it...

then had a white fender, green rear s2 bumper, and a cracked front bumper..

two tone for fun to cover the bodywork...

then came the primer and turbo and here she sits awaiting paint, along with many more things to tidy up...

Ongoing project for life :D
