Default my new/old gs4 blk on blk (bb)... take a look!!

Recently found 1 of my old gs400s I modified and sold to a guy over 4 years ago for sale in another state... so I had to buy it so I could recondition it/bring it back to life then either pass on to another enthusiast or keep in the stable. When I bought it it had some suspension issues so upper control arm was replaced. Exhaust and piping has been redone including new x pipe and 2 new mufflers, also had transmission and motor mounts replaced, gs430 l tuned steering ecu was also added, front bunper is cracked and was hanging off/not attached on one side so mounted bunper correctly (still haven't fixed crack) car runs and drives very nicely... it was nice to be reunited w the car. Enjoy the pics, car will be for sale soon!!

Just out of curiosity, why would you go through the hassle of buying it back just to sell it again?

He did say he may keep it. I think when he restores it he'll test the waters and sell it but will enjoy it in the mean time if he does not get close to his asking price.

To reply to Thomas gs4... I love these cars. Many of them I sold I lost money on but I didn't care as long as I felt the new owner really cared about the car/it was going to a good home. That's why I bought this one back, to restore/bring back to life. The guy I bought it from wasn't driving it much and he himself said he's not doing or giving the car what it deserves.
Mcon.... thank you for the kind words. How's your gs coming along, did you put it back on the road yet or still a garage queen lol
Jlaws.... correct, I do this for the love of these cars.

What up 02msmg3,

I kick the baby of the garage after several months of rest and I had forgotten how much people gives me the thumbup and give me the okay saying that likes me car. My chest inflates of the excitement and that makes me think that I can not sell my baby and I stay with it. :-) .

I understand what you're saying now. Be sure to make a restoration thread when you get started!

My GS is doing well; she gets driven a couple of times a week. Nearing 180k miles. There's a thread up at the top with some updated pictures.
