Default Manga_Spawn's Build Thread

Starting a new thread as my old one got kinda cluttered and I finally got a real camera. Been messing around with some editing software as well.

I have wanted one of these cars basically since they were first announced however being a student working part time it wasn't possible. At the time I was driving my beloved little EG hatch (which I still have and one day will have its own epic build thread) but always dreamed of having an S2000 to keep the EG company.

In 2011 I was at a place with my career that I could justify the S2000. All I knew is I wanted a red one and it had to have fairly low miles. I ended up buying a 2005 NFR with about 19k miles for $19,500. I was ecstatic. Words cannot describe how much I love this car. Since then I have been hard at work making my S2000 truly my S2000.

Yes! Another former Spawn collector. I still have all my figures in a box someplace. When I have my dream garage and house they will be displayed again.

whats funny is your color combo for your car of red and gold was one of the color variants of that figure too.

Redid the editing on the pictures. Had way to much contrast before. I think they look a little better.

The CR front end on NFR is really starting to grow on me.

It's definately one of the colors that should have been on the cr.
