As some of you may know, I am currently living in Germany. My J is in storage at my dads back in the states. I threw all the body parts on it, threw away any stock stuff, and tucked it away. I am totally having modding withdrawals. It doesn't help that my trunk is packed with stuff to install, (1/2" rear hub spacers, front/rear eibach sway bars, etc).. Working on my husband's Evo, just isn't cutting it. LOL. I had my dad snap a few pics of it. Figured I'd share. It's all ready for a few minor body work fixes and paint, as soon as we move back to the states. Here she is (don't mind the crappy wheels in the first (most recent pics), the tires are junk, it's just for sitting in storage. The Motegis are wrapped up and being stored separately. It's nothing special to look at, all mismatched, but I just need to move back and paint it, lol.
Hood was popped & the front bumper is only loosely installed:
When I dropped it off, before I swapped the wheels:
First thing that's happening when I get back: Complete professional paintjob & coilovers. Then a long list of things will follow. This summer, I've had my J for 7 years, It's not going anywhere. lol.
Lookin good

Are you high?
Sam is hgh on trampolines, haha!
Jess, if you're going to leave teaser pics, it's only fair that you come finish the car now!
this car doesnt exist! its all one big photoshop!
I know it doesn't look good in it's current stance. Haha. It drives me nuts looking at it. But I can see past that to what it will look like once the body is tightened up and painted. I just figured I'd share my pics my dad sent me, haha.
Matt... it's looking like I won't be returning to the US for 2 more years... so it will be some time before it's finished, haha... unless I work on it when I come back to visit at times, haha. Which might be a possibility. lol.
I like the rear half of the car....I personally dont think the rear and sides flow or match the front at all though. I think either type j sides or streetfire sides with a 03 rk lip out back would flow a little bit better.
Either way love the car, made me with I kept my 2200 and boosted it.
The IF sides were a test, if I don't like them once its all done, I plan to swap em for the 03+ RK lip kit sides. But for now, it's hard to tell. The front bumper is not mounted on all the way and is sticking out more than it normally would... and not being paint matched makes it even more obvious. I am going to paint everything before I decide, as I still think it has potential to work. I wanted an aggressive front with a less aggressive rear. I don't want the entire car to look kitted... so I think I can make it work... but it will have to wait til I get the body parts buttoned up (swapping to a better set of OEM front fenders and re aligning a few things, then paint of course. So we'll see. Thanks for the comment though.

Jess, if you decide that you don't want the IF sides, lemme get a crack at them. my sedan is begging for dibs
Haha, find a set of 03+ RK lip sides and I'd be very very very tempted to trade
And yes, my husband is stationed out here.
BTW.... German/European roads >>>>>>>> US. By far... LOL.
I'll see what I can find, but I see less of those than I do the ones I'm looking for
and while you're over there, I demand pics of retro VeeDubz. they have THE sickest MkII GTi's in the world
