Background

Well I bought her June 20th 2006 at a local auction for $2,600 AS IS, it had transmission problems, the clear coat was peeling, it had dents all over the place. I was very excited when I bought the car I've had so many ideas and routes I wanted to take the car, on August 22nd 2006, not even 2 months after I purchased the car I got into a accident where I was heading down a 2 way lane doing about 35mph and some girl (99' White TL) just cuts in front of me to enter a shopping center and I didnt get enough time to brake and hit her in her quarter panel. I took it as a gift since no one was hurt and my car was crashed in the front which was perfect because now I could do the 01-02 Coupe front and I finally get to paint the car. August 28th 2006 the car is taken to a shop where a friend of my dads work. We drop off the car and he saids the car will be done in a week. Getting to the point I recieve the car about 6 months after .. I would show up to the shop and he would never be there or he wouldnt answer his phone. I fixed the transmission August 10th 2006 and now the car is in perfect condition. I can say I've been through a lot with my car but im extremely happy. My final route is gonna be F22B1 with a custom turbo setup which Im almost done collecting. Thanks for reading about my cg5. <3.

(It's W.I.P., "work in progress". Don't let hip-hop screw it up for us. )



That coupe front-end looks terrific. Great job with the paint too.

 

looks good

edit: check the alignment on the hood.... it looks a little to high up to me.

 

why would you put a lower power engine? Why not boost the f23.

Did you have to change the fenders to fit the coupe bumper?

 

Nice!

 

Good job on the work.... looks good....

 

I guess the coupe front end does fit a 4 door. It looks great. Where did you pick up the factory fog lights?

 

After all the work done. Don't you think, it's better to get a newer car in better condition?

But you did a great job! you should check the hood. It's off from some angles.

 

hmmm...lets see, spend total of say 5 grand to buy and fix car vs. spending 10k as a down payment on a newer car...

:slap:

 

nice...looks 100X better..would love to see it turbo'd
