I gave in!!!! I got a vert...let the pimpin begin!

So my very first FC ever was a black on black S5 vert and I've missed that car since the day I sold it in 2004. With the vert becoming more and more popular I decided it was time...I present... project Rizoe

I got her for a very good price and in decent enough shape....I just dont love the fact that the interior is blue but whatever. It always starts on a trailer...

Making the journey from the yard it sat covered in weeds in...straight to the O.R



She laid life lifeless without a pulse and barely any life left





She was in need of a new heart so we began the process




New heart in and healthy...finishing up the hook up



I test fitted these to show off her wide *** but I decided to leave her petite...




The day she fell in love. She met this handsome fellow "Rocky II" LOL bare with me guys...trying to make it exciting...

Anyway...



I thought it woul dbe fun to build up a NA vert considering the thousands that my TII has taken. I plan on doing some minor stuff yet tasteful at the same time...front lip, sideskirts, wheels, coilovers, and PAINT, etc...teaching my GF how to drive stick so she can take it to SXIII but we'll see...

I'll post pics of progress soon. I'm always up for constructive criticism and words of encouragement. I'm super stoked to get her finished and DD her. Maybe we'll be taking a trip to Slamtown, USA since everyone has to be Herra Frush! LOL

There's a forum member that has a 2nd Gen parts car located near Firestone and Atlantic that has coilovers available. A thought.............

And, assuming your gf will be with you at 7Stock, I double dog dare you to snap your fingers with witness's present. Be sure and have a Girls Gone Wild camera man available.
