I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

It has been my greatest wish to disassemble the Purple Beast and rebuild her from the ground up with love and attention to every detail. It will happen...as soon as I have a garage of my own.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.

*spoiler*
:welder:

Pics+worklog to come soon. I am indeed starting a year+ long project. First parts came off last night, only to get swapped into my other mx3 because it's having issues, which I am trying to deal with.

But yes. A full rebuild, including stitch welding, frame bracing, full suspension powder coating and an engine rebuild is officially underway.

x2. I totally know that in my future I am going to tear down the whole car... eliminate all rust, re-paint the engine bay and around the inside stuff... and then restore the whole car!
