​WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS CAR

AARON: "I loved the way this car looked when I was younger, and I've wanted one since Highschool."

​WHAT WAS THE MAIN GOAL WHEN THE BUILD STARTED?

AARON: "My main goal for this car when I originally got it was performance, because most of my local friends were into high hp cars. I later met groups of people who were into stance. I didn't really care for excessive camber, but a little bit did look good! I eventually tried to make it the best of both worlds, and this is how she turned out!"

​DO YOU HAVE UNIQUE STORY BEHIND THE CAR OR BUILD

AARON: "I originally purchased this car pre-turboed. I pretty much found out the hard way that it was a mistake. I had to tear apart the turbo kit to fix so many problems because of the previous owner, including broken bolts/studs in the turbo manifold/WG, boost leaks, and plenty more. But it was kind of worth it in the end because of the knowledge I gained from fixing so many broken parts. I've owned this car for a decade, and I'm not sure if there isnt anything on this car besides the block that I have not worked on (oil changes, swapping suspension, adding/deleting things from the engine bay, converting the year of my car, doing a valve adjustment, installing car audio, replacing the entire interior, etc.) This car has been one hell of a trip, but it was worth it!"

​WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS FOR THE CAR?

AARON: "Honestly I'm not sure if I want to start a new project, or hold onto this until it becomes historic."

​

​IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY IF YOU COULD GO BACK?

AARON: "I probably should have started with a stock car. Fixing other peoples mistakes are a pain!"

​SHOUTOUTS

AARON: "BattleGang and everyone that I've met over the years, that I can now call family."
