YES!! I Finally have some exciting updates 12/12/10

So...this is a very slow build...but I will get there eventually...

After much debate and looking at many different cars, I decided on a 2008 VBP Fit. I bought the car in July.

The day I picked the car up (Next to SHG_Mike's Fit):

I have a lot more planned for this car but don't have the funds to do it just yet...

Edit 2/10:
what lovely things winter does to cars...
