I'm moving to Alberta soon, and won't get a chance to recreate the original shots likely for a long time (if ever). So here, a compilation of shots from the day I got it to now:

It's funny because it's a little bit of a frankenbeast now. Anyway, I got it in 2008, as the third owner. It originally came form Montreal, Quebec (I should mention that I didn't buy it FROM Quebec, I bought it in BC after it CAME from Quebec). Made in Japan. I've since had it for about 78k kilometres.

I say frankenbeast because of the parts, which I will try to list:

Projector Retrofit Kit: thebarber
UR Rear Swaybar: Garm
Eyelids: Treyz
Wheels: Garm
Front Strut bar: can't remember
Suspension (Shocks/struts/springs): Can't remember
Exhaust: can't remember
Alternator pulley: can't remember
light crank pulley: Garm

That's actually all I can remember for now. But you get the idea. :)

Not sure why you would get a car from Quebec though. Road conditions and the use of salt make the cars probably the worse place to buy used. Hehe

Yeah.. I didn't know that stuff at the time :P Overall it's not too bad. I've addressed most of the surface rust all over.

EDIT: Ah jeez I know what you meant now. No, I didn't buy it FROM Quebec. It CAME from Quebec and I bought it in BC.
