The car did arrive. . .

Wow, I can't believe that I haven't written in here since we got the car! The car was about what we expected, yet it was a little worse than we expected. Jason (seller) told us that that interior was bad, but what's bad to some may not be bad to others, right? Well, it was BAD. Jason was right. We thought we'd be able to strip the paint. No, not a chance. Jon ended up buying the complete interior from another car at a junkyard in Jordan and Shakopee. This includes the things in the dash, and literally EVERYTHING. Ugh. When we got the car, you could not open the back doors with the remote. You could only open the one back door by putting your hand through the front and the other back door couldn't be opened at all. This wasn't told to us. UGH. The car has been stripped on the inside and that was done the night we got it. We drove it last Friday to Mkto to get ideas about the shaved door handles and boy did we get the looks! We loved it. The car kicks butt from the outside. :0)

Jon is completely re-wiring the car and has over 700' of wire in it already. He has over 80 hrs into the car between completely the wire diagram, talking on the phone, drive time, stripping the car, stripping the junk yard car, etc. Crazy. He still wants to get it done by my bday, but I told him it's fine if he doesn't. The car has soooo much work to get done, I think it's nearly impossible to get it done by then.

He was so excited - yesterday he called me and asked if I wanted a sun roof installed. He found someone who only does custom cars in the cities and said he could get it done for $1000. We decided to do it so the car will be hauled to the cities tomorrow and it should be done tomorrow night. We are so excited!

Peace.
