Smile Well, here she is, a work in progress...

Ive been on this forum for a while now, not too active tho.
Here are some pics of my sc400 Ive had waiting for me to get my license My dad picked it up about 2 summers ago for a good price, it had some damage as the previous owner ran into a ditch lol. Enjoy the pics and please remember she is a work in progress!
And the last pic is my dad's which hes had for about 8-9 years now, lowered on tokico struts and springs, custom paintjob (he did himself) gs rims and a little sound system--keepin it clean lol
