Default #mybattleship

Posting this here cause I put it on the second gen build thread and didn't even realize it. Lol.
This build thread is of my 02 is300 sportX. I bought almost 2years ago bone stock. Since then it's gone through like 10 sets of wheels and is currently at a body shop getting repainted and motor is out getting rebuilt with gte internals and getting boosted. On to some pics

When I first got er.


First mods, Aem intake, m5 cf front lip, Tein type flex coil overs, blacked out HL and fog lights




Some chrome wheels I got for free


Decided to make my own spoiler since I couldn't afford an elixir at the time lol. Donor was a civic with a type r wing










Since then I went through a lot of wheels, then the JDM bug bit me. Bought some altezza power folding mirrors, went through 3 different altezza grills, 3 different altezza headlights, digital cluster and Gita front bumper with lip









Then the unexpected happened, I spun a bearing. So I decided to rebuild the motor and make it na-t.

My son loves to help out







I got a spare motor from my boy that had a blown head gasket and decided to rebuild this one. Also decided to do a tranny swap, which it got from my boy as well.



Off to the body shop



I scored a hipposleek body kit for my wagon, rear lip needs to be modified to fit, no biggie. Also got my 3rd pair of altezza hl's, ganador mirrors, and elixir wing.







Meanwhile, at EliteGarage
