Actually... I live and work in MD. The plates are old and need to be swapped, which will be done soon as i paint it. As far as custom type shops in VA... I dont really know too many sadly. Ive worked for First choice in Alexandria, which is a great shop. But they scep in BMW porsche and audi, (like my shop now). Theres also Wagon works, which ive heard good and bad... but again its not a custom type shop. Im positive w/ a lil research at one of the Sat burger king meets w/ the hot rodders, you could find a good shop. But i cant recomend one for ya. Like i said before, this is my car, at my shop.... my work just happens to follow the lines of my hobby. For an everyday customer, my shop wouldnt take on a job like this. And what id have to charge someone.... would prolly buy me a nother Scion :0) -Mikey

Here we go, more pics... got the bumpers fiberglassed and duraglassed. Will get the finnal fitment done tomarrow night. Also Did some work on the inner qtrs, The rears used to ba able to roll at full drop (with the Works) till i put the 20mm spacer in. Now the tires rubbing the inner edge of the Qtr (right above where i rolled the qtrs flat). Gonna see if i can move the inner wheelhouse up some. Im trying to be able to roll at full drop. Got allot of other lil side projects done too, but those ill keep secret for now Notice how different the rear looks now w/ the Works. Getting this close to finnished is kinda spurrin me on, This jobs wore me out.... Hope to have it in Primer next weekend. ok, heres the pics:
The rear up at full lift w/ the shorter shocks:

Cusco camber plates are in! That means i can put the Works back up front... Man does it look sick. Been doing allot of finnish sanding and various body repairs, (dings and dents). Will be shaving the rear Squirter too this week (why keep it w/ no wiper?) No new pics as of yet, ill take more once a more drastic change has happened (ie primer or paint). Primer by this weekend and paint next weekend is the goal. Lets hope it happens... -Mikey
