I'm still kickin'...but not for much longer.
Sunday, September 11, 2011 1:56 PM
Well, where to start. I haven't been on the forums much lately at all for nearly a year now (maybe more I bet). The time flew on by let me tell you.

My car has been parked in the garage for going on 1.5 years now. I told myself before the summer is up I need to give her one last wash, take some pictures and then get ready for the "for sale" post. This is NOT the for sale post. I have taken some shots of the car in its current state as of today and thought I'd share them with everyone for one last time of myself posting pictures of Big Poppa's cavfire.

Questions, comments or whatever you'd like, feel free to leave them.

One thing is for sure, I have made a great amount of friends, and I have learnt a substantial amount from year after year of building. I have great pride in what I have accomplished by learning as I went on and I can say that this car was built by me and only me. I drove her around the side streets today and man it felt great.

Here are a bunch of pictures I snapped this afternoon.



































Thanks everyone!

You took me out of retirement to post this! I always loved your car and Ive been lucky enough to see it in person in its various stages! I can't thank you enough for some of the work you did on my old car as well!

It's definitely time to move on if its been this long buddy! Life happens! Good luck with the sell and we definitely have to get in touch with each other sometime soon!

Take it easy!

An amazing amount of work there, and all of it top notch. Sounds like you either got bored of it or just don't have the time anymore, but whatever the reason for selling, good luck with the sale.

As always Vince, I LOVE this car! Really is a work of art, and still to this day, it's one of may favorite 2 tones on a J. Im curious too what the next type of project is, if any...

Awesomeness....

The price you will be asking for will never come up to all the crazy hours nights and weekends you spent on this.

ehhhh ive seen better.





















dude, just like i told you on facebook, throw a for sale sign in the window and just drive it around and hit up some shows. will be the best way to show it off to potential buyers. my goal is to make it up to importfest next year. you should keep it just for at least another year so i get a chance to see it lol.

Car looks great as always. You just need to drive it more often....with it just sitting in the garage that long no wonder why you want to sell it. I love the just carbon fiber work you do.

Whats with the universal gauge pod?


GMR has got nothing on this

I remember following the build thread on this car and I fell in love with it. Looks awesome but I understand getting tired of working on something constantly.

Thanks everyone!

Don't get me wrong, I still love my car. After I washed her that day I said "damnnnnnnn I miss you". But at the same time. I've moved on. I don't have the time to put into it. I still build...but it's more of home renovation type of work instead. I learnt a great deal and met a lot of great people and I will always have those memories to have and to hold onto for life that I will never forget.

I'd love to rip it apart and do it all over again...or even pick up another sunfire and start from scratch...but there just isn't the time for me right now.

Who knows...maybe I will...maybe I won't...but in terms of this car, the build was over 2 years ago.

This forum was always great to get feedback (positive and negative) and so many people to give help and assistance. Sure there are always those few that start fights, but for the most part this group is still kick a$$.

Sad to hear you tossing around the idea of selling it. Car is still amazing.

I would love to reach your level of quality with my car one of these days.


Want hub spacers rear disk brackets or trailing arm bushings? Shoot me a PM.

Vince, always one of my favorites. Your car in it's early stages is what pushed me to go big on my old bucket.

Keep in touch bud.
