Default Introduction

What's up northwest. I am a little late to introduce myself but time has always been a enemy for me lol.

Started the build about 4 years back, risked all I had and sold my integra for a somewhat beat up 02 s2000, it was originally yellow but has been rattle canned, plasti dipped and sprayed a pearl white in its previous times. Had 3 different steelies a duck taped on air filter and blown mounts.
The thing that had me sold on it was motivation and finally a chance to own one at 20 years old I'd be the only one around my circle and neighborhood to own one, reguardless everyone around doubted me and I was told I'd never be able to restore it therefore no one wanted to lend me a hand on it.
Within the 4 years I had to do my research since a s2000 was very new to me and different, many trial and errors though the errors only happened once, I even crashed it against a street sign being dumb and trying to slide it too.

At the same time growing up knowing too many people became a factor and life started to get a little rough to the point where the s2000 was all I had left and honestly it was the only thing that kept me away from depression and away from the trap at the end of the path of partying, smoking, drinking. First it sucked and was difficult af doing all the work and even spraying it myself but In the end I realized my passion and it pulled me away from hard times and the things I learned on this forum it's a must I post the outcome.

Thanks all, also hope everyone is safe, warm and sound from the storm and power outages!

I live in Clackamas and usually all over this side of Portland
I appreciate and admire the kind words! It wont be as clean as a CR but my first time spraying a car I had to go with ABP!
