Into the Abyss-- Back from the Dead. Process build
Hey! Im a newbiE! name is mike... I have always wanted a TL but never made the plunge. This time I really went deep in. Here it is! a 2005 Acura TL Base.. front end damage.. bought in NY for 2200$ had car shipping to my home in FL. It has been a slow process. But here how she started...
She's finally on the road. after almost another 3000 to get her up and running again.
She looks pretty basic now... waiting to get some coilovers for some new pics.

Duh! 
Not bad at all! Sounds like it was a fun project too. I wish you had pictures of the process.
And good job on removing the mask.
