    I was thinking back in the days of the old forum we didnt share many pics cause it was a little more difficult. You didnt really know whos car was complete or really what it looked like most of the time. Then I realized I had my car painted in 2000 and its been in pretty much the same shape ever since, except for some engine and trans changes, but it looks the same.

    So even though we arent really ever completely done, how long has your car been (kind of) done after a rebuild, restoration, restomod or whatever form fixing it up that you did.

    I'm going to say anything sort of major was done 8yrs ago ( trans rebuild ). Actually, the car could use a redo. Front seat, package shelf, heater core, body work and paint. She runs great and gets used, so I'm happy! :)

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Got it running in 2006, then took it apart. Got it back together in 2010 then took it apart again to paint. It's been on the backburner ever since.
    Picked up another project and more hobbies and just dont have time or money for it anymore.

    One day i'll build it up again, thankfully it's not rusting at all.

    Purchased it in Sep 2007 - took it out in public for the first time in July 2011 at the Roundup.

    Still waiting for the money tree to grow so I can finish the interior (seats)
