Made it to Yuma!

I try to migrate every couple years or so. Was in Maricopa too long.
Love it here in Yuma. Everything has been simplified. Things were too crazy where i was. Sometimes its good to change things up.

thanks man, and yeah, i have probably put 19's on more vehicles than any other size. They are just a good looking size whether it's a Legend Coupe or Billets on a Full Size Chevy Truck. Not too big, not too small. But i do have love for 18's too

Paint was starting to look a little hazy. Time for a quick Wax. Last time i actually Polished it (takes hours to polish/cut) and i only had a couple hours to spare. I will probably do the full polish in the winter when it's not one-hundred-and-hell degrees outside.

Griot's Garage random orbital with a blue pad for wax.
Speed setting between 2-3 to lay it down.

After:



My buddy came through and hit up his NHRA T/A right quick




Pics.... ... .. .

Thanks dude!

I was thinking of ideas to spruce up the back seat when I stumbled across that setup. I was planning on doing a console much like the one I ended up buying, but mine was going to have a champagne bucket instead of cupholders. Then I was going to put a wood grain panel with a logo or something on it in the hole for the armrest, but the bottle cabinet is a much cooler idea.

Sevenevez, you sir have been a true inspiration . Thanks for posting all your progress. I dont know how long it took to get to page 44 from 1 but it was definitely a good read.
I've been in the car scene for a long time myself coming from the old Mini truckn' days to a 550whp STi to a near 800 whp Evo , stock E60 M5 and now a 2Gen GS300 to add to the stable. I just lowered the car on some old HKS hypermaxes this past weekend and am searching for some affordable 19"s. Props to you for the originality man!!

nice man. and thanks for goin through the whole thread. yeah i been wasting money on cars since the 90's myself so i understand. and i did my GS on a helluva budget. the Privat Legende's were the most affordable but decent looking staggered 19in 5 stars i could find. There's a lot of companies out there that make affordable reps around now too
