No, it was mine for about 6 months. Then me and him built it up and I turned it over to him. I had control for the development and build process. It was one of those "wouldn't it be cool" kinda projects while we were in the desert. I did an MR2 and a Corvette too during that year we got back. Then a Jeep 350 swap in 2009... all of these ideas came about in the desert.
but personally I would ditch the decals on the front bumper though.

You should get an 06+ black windshield washer reservoir, or, if you need a visual level check, paint it while masking off a stripe.
Otherwise, your wheels are too nice, the car is too shiny clean, your body kit fits too nicely, and the engine bay is entirely too clean. Hate it!!

Car looks great. And being a sailor, the boats look killer in the background

Kane mate---we have been doing a lot of data collecting and sharing concerning oil temps in the cold weather we are having. Basically the concensus is that the car runs too cool of an oil temp during sub 50F weather. oil temps having problems getting to 160F and above.
This is resulting in many owners having a LOT of condensation collecting in their oil. If you have any white milky crap on your dipstick---dont go to the medic-ha, increase your oil temps. May be a small amount on the stick, but there will be a lot more in the pan. Ask me how I know. Remove a pan before the oil has gotten hot (180 and above) and see.
I now have both oil coolers blocked just to get it to 180f-high of 200F with in city driving.
Just food for though I am passing on.
Them there sail boats bring back memories. Lived in Jamicia x 3 yrs--sailing was a lot of fun. Especiaty with Phil Barkley who was the GM of the Playboy club in Ochi (back in the day)---sigh....
