Goodbye - for now!

Hey friends,

Long time no post. Just wanted to give an update - fell on some hard time and had to let the car go. Parted it mostly out, however, time came down to the wire to get rid of the car and I let it go with the aftermarket fenders I had. So, if you wind up seeing a HB w/ VF Fenders for sale, feel free to come my way for some information. From the VIN, it looks like it was just ran through an auction in DC on the 7th, so I'd expect to see something shortly pop-up.

As far as my 86 Experience: this is where it ends. Being 23, this was really the first car I had the pleasure of working on myself and actually building/modifying. From the FR-S I first owned, to the HyperBlue BRZ, it was a fun experience going from learning how to install simple things like an air intake & coil overs to complex things like installing my Sprintex Supercharger kit SEVERAL times over, tuning, and air suspension (rip). I could still break this car down with my eyes closed at this point. I wanted to thank everyone that helped me with information on the forums, @Tcoat and @BirdTRD in particular have been extremely helpful in all of my en devours and I cannot thank those guys enough.

As far as what's next? Who knows.

Recently moved from Maryland up to Pennsylvania and started working for a company that specializes in all year Mustangs.. so maybe you'll see me an S550 soon.. hitting a crowd or two (lol!)

As far as to how my build ended:

Thanks again for everyone's continued support and if you guys ever need anything (even mustang parts!), feel free to give me a shout. <3
