Angelina "Classy, not Flashy" Build

What’s up squad! I have wanted to create a build thread for a while but I have some extra time so I decided I am going to now. I am going to start off with the pictures I took the day I got the car and show some pictures of how it sits right now. It has come a long way, but I am ready to make some changes as everything will be updated as I have new ideas and as parts come in! You will notice that my car doesn’t have the theme of a single brand or style. I am building this to my liking and putting parts in and on that I like, not because they are the same brand, but because I like the look, function, or just my personal opinion over another. You will not see me claim my car as being JDM or anything else, other than my personality.

I do not dislike any other makes of cars, we all love the same thing and that’s cars. We need to eliminate that hate and anger towards one another, and start showing support and if something is said that is negative, let’s have it as constructive criticism.
