Well look, SHWWGN which was originally CXL-846 has been along way Lets start with him first buying the car.. A pic of it! Well for a L plater, 1 grand he paid!, was ok car! Ok we get the point, Was piece of sh*t! ahahaha with no hope to be a 9 or 13 second car... So they ended up gettin it painted Phantom purple with Dark grey bumpers... but yuck, grey bumpers on it looked sh*t.. here is the pic when sanded back, and gettin ready for paint! ok so we get that.. Heres with sprayed up and dark grey bumpers! well the thoughts from many were like nahh go silver bars! So he done that, with just about 5 grand spent on a custom sound system... he got new suspension and Mockup 18inch VY GTS wheels!..And last got his Motor rebuilt and gearbox rebuilt too!..To a N/A status! heres the pic Had the interior fully reupholesterd and all the dash sprayed beige etc! Ok So we got a nice wagon for street driving for a First L platers car? Then got board of it, so he got the bonnet airbrushed by the person who airbrushed the RX7 TEKKEN...As you can tell, its RIU heres a pic of it before the clear coat! So here we come to autosalon all paid for and 3 days before the event, he takes the car to a workshop in chelsea heights to get his gaurds and calipers sprayed black.. What happens, i get a call the next day so 2 days to go, The car has been stripped? So was left at the workshop, just built new workshop, overnight there.. And the car all of a sudden, has no GTS wheels on it?.. Nothing left of the sound system, the teared all the Door trims off, subs,amps,speakers all gone? So 2 days for autosalon In two days he got A whole new system and wheels fitted, and re wired! with now a better system for autosalon, the sh*t part, the company didnt pay for any of this, so basiclly was like giving away all this and buyin new stuff! Heres a pic of autosalon how it looked and the girls of coarse [IMG]http://img442.imageshac (http://imageshack.us)k.us/img442/8950/picture041ov7.jpg[/IMG] Ok so turned out good Now, his dad cracked it because how many times id dose him while on cruises etc, So he ended up blowing over 35gs on the running gear.. Heres a pic just taken tonight.. Progression pic will come as the days go by! Built by Streetline in Mordialloc and Racetec Its got the works on it, 9inch diff spooled, 2 spd powerglide, stally, transbrake, GT40R turbo, Coffin plenum, forged motor,Cam, rollers, blueprinted and polished heads...Lets just say the list is about 2 pages long We have a 40 psi handled car here waiting to be run in and RACED Heres few pics Ok we get its getting built for the fastest Street Wagon in AUS! 9 second pass is their aim i think they will see that After the cage is fitted and the motor is run in.

So..........anybody else wonder whos car this is? EYETZR has written it all in the third person. Not a fan of the airbrushing, but nice work. Lots of money for an L plater..... Should put the lower door moulds on it too.
