Hello guys.

I had a really awesome time in my home country, was nice to see some old faces and work on some cars with family and friends.



Here is a small list what was achived in the past 13 weeks : 4 Custom builds, 5 Overhaullins, 32 Services, 15 Tunings and one accident where Lagano hit me with the pallet jack while trying to take a engine crate..........

The shop made a whole lot of cash and my cuz in return payed us back with V$10 000 each which isnt a lot and too much at a same time but I feel so satisfied with the work I achived.

So while I were there I made 2 purchases. One purchase was via phone for the R35 GTR in the states and another one were in Germany.....




I found a 1993 MK IV Toyota Supra for V$4500 which was insanely cheap. We went to check it out the car had done only 357 183 kilometers and were looking intact.
When we arrived the story changed drasticly when we were told why the car is that cheap and here is the list......

The car is a 2JZ-GE Automatic, Engine blew while going over 180 km/h on the No Speed limit highway in Germany. Seized transmission (We don't know the reason why the transmission is seized but it simply wont move a bit), while trying to control the dead car he ended up on the side of the road where he broke the rear left shock absorber, spring and control arm, the car right now is a No Wheel Drive car cause it doesn't have a drive shaft and a diff to the rear wheels, again we don't know what happened to that either........



So even the words No thank you were at the tip of my toung I still decided to say "I am buying it" so I spent V$4500 on something that is a giant paper weight and I spent an aditional V$3000 to ship it to the states.....

Its a European car and those euro spec parts havent been changed but we will see will they stay or go, also that rear wing that came with the car will probably be on a sale in a day or two....









Upon arrival at the states, me and Lagano managed to fix the shell of the ZL1 Camaro that I bought but sadly I will postpone the build for some other time cause my priorities have changed.....

After fixing up the Camaro Shell, I had lifted my R35 and the Volvo, took of their shocks absorbers and springs/air bags/ and then just swapped them.
The air ride system went from the Volvo to the R35 and the R35 shocks and springs went to the Volvo. The volvo ride height and driveability were as good as with the air ride and then I sold it for V$8000 to a Volvo tuning guy which needs a daily in condition like mine.

So now the R35 is low as it can get !!!!!!



Also I have ordered some parts for the R35 and they should be here in the next 2-4 days so stay tunned for that :D.....



Oh yea before I forget, I will have couple of visitors in 2-4 days so stay tunned for that too, also I will host some meetings everyone is invited to them if you can arrive in time to the states......
