Hi my name's martin and i'm 19 years old from sweden currently in japan for a year to study, so while i'm here i decided to get myself a project here hopefully i can finish it without problems, my main income is a part time job where i get 35000 yen every week which is around 450 V$ every week, so my parents gave me a little headstart of v$7000. this car cost me V$750, i will try to update you guys every week.

hope you enjoy!
so here's a picture of my car at my friends garage.

money lol:
V$7000-V$750=V$6250

Hey guys!, an update, yaay!

so basically, when i was at my friends garage i bought a pair of new brakes(forgot to take a picture) for V$250 and he gave me some steelies until i get my own wheels, so next down the list is a respray but i'm not sure where and which color i should go for 🙁 suggest down below

so here's a pic of it at the garage, also the suspension is in pretty good shape just needs a bit of work, also if anyone has a engine for my car please hit me up.

finances 6250-250=V$6000

hi, i resprayed my car to silverish color and bought some new lighs for around a 100 dollars, the paint was free from my friens so it's cool lol.

sorry for no updates the past week, so what happened was that i finally bought some wheels aswell as a rear bumper 🙂, the wheels look pretty good imo but i think i should repaint the car to black.

money:

V$4650-200-920=V$3550

martin09

another update guys!!

so for now the car looks alright but i've thought about getting a new car and i wand a rwd car to drift yeah yeah 180 is very overused but i love it anyways!, so for now this is how my car looks like:

i bought a new lip for 150V$ and also bought all the windows and stuff, it's looking good, so now i need to find all white taillights and see how it looks like on it, and also need some badges for the rear

finances:
V$4650-600+750=4800
