Im back!!!

coupe · 11-06-2009, 01:37 PM

How long has it been now? a year? maybe more?

I don’t even remember where I left off really so I will start from the top I guess. Gotta make it short though.

Got married in Jamaica. Had a freakin blast. If you ever go to the Caribbean I highly recommend going for more than 5 days. You wont remember the first 3 days at all lol We where there for 14 days and it still wasn’t enough.

Remodeled our kitchen, total nightmare lol

We got pregnant and now have a 6 week old girl. She is awesome!

Sold the GA to my idiot brother inlaw. It is no longer a work of art =(
Sold the 1996 GMC Z71 to my dad, I miss this truck more than the GA
I now own a 2006 ford f-150 extended cab and a 2004 Envoy, both fully loaded hehehe

Modded my 2005 R6 almost to the teeth. Its for sale, im not actively trying to sell it but if someone wants it I would sell it. Im still modding the crap out of it though.

Just about completely rebuilt a 1999 R1 then sold for a profit

Current project is streetfightering a 1998 Kawi Ninja ZX7R. Thats being funded by the sale of the 99 R1. Once that’s done it will be sold to start another bike project.

That’s the jist of everything.

If anyone is interested enough in anything I can start some new threads and show pics. Im not on the net much anymore other than to get the info I need for whatever project im on and then im off.

Glad you're back, sounds like your last year or so has been non-stop. That sucks about the GA, but everybody has a time that they have to let go and start new (and because I wanted your hood

). That's awesome that you're building bikes, are you still doing detailing on the side, or did that give way to bikes?

Jchiasson · 11-06-2009, 01:46 PM

OK, the GA is gone....

Rand, you should have sold to a member here!!!!

I'll miss her...

Congrats on the spouse and child!

I also built my AR-15 and rem 870 to the teeth, but then sold them lol

I still correct automotive paints but I only do single panels now. More money in it and dosent take as long as doing whole vehicles.

The hood is still good as when I had it. When he decides to sell the car im gonna get all my aftermarket parts back. It was part of the sale agreement.

Ive moved away from modding anything on 4 wheels. Bikes are way more fun.
