Trying to find artist/ previous owner

[jacky4566]

Firstly, what do you think of my car? also i am trying to find the artist of this vehicle or a previous owner if anyone has ever seen this car pm with some info. i was told this used to be a show car in 2004 so. there is also an inscription although its hard to read i believe it says "SWF 04" on the rear panel by the tire.

Wow i remember everything on that car (it was my friends car before) but unfortunately he bought it like that and the paint job was already done. It was by a guy in the east I believe.

care to explain how that's a show car?

hubcaps?
blue painted interior pieces?

blue painted interior pieces? the term "used to be" is past tense, as in, once was, but is no longer.

I'm gonna take a stab and say the wheels were taken off when sold, and the tackier bits on the car were done after the original owner sold it?

Horrid... is the front passenger fender spray canned?
Interior = cheapest form of mod possible... remove the easy panels, spray paint, voila... But why only do some of them? Might as well do the vents as well. And make it not match the rest while were at it.

If this was a show car in '04... then this poor thing has been put through a lot.

:facepalm:

I believe this car was brought in from the east by Hot Wheels back in the day.

[jacky4566]

yea i just got the car in this condition. the wheels are only temp i swear. its been through a lot though. front fender is completely destroyed from being to low to the ground. and no i believe the entire car was custom painted but the body kit is plastic or some cheap fiberglass so it looks different from the doors and quarter panels. it did used to be owned by a guy in the east tho.

Really?

I remember meeting this guy at race city a couple years ago

I recall him saying he got it from Vancouver,.. I may be wrong

[QuasarCav]

I believe that the PO was on Beyond as Marq-it or something like that. He bought the vehicle from Hotwheels AKA Gallery of fine cars in its current state.

[bobby_lu]

Was definitely sold by Hot Wheels to a beyond member a few years back, marq something I believe.

edit. marq-jt was the member's name

[urban.one]

Hot Wheels is Gallery of Fine Cars now?

[Eleanor]

^ yes :rofl:

[BlackArcher101]

So let's make this clear (for the google bots)... this fine* specimen of a car is from the GoFC (Gallery of Fine Cars) formerly known as Hot Wheels?

* The word fine in this case meaning a "unique" POS.

I remember the guy who owned it, I used to see it down in the sw quite a lot, he posted on beyond a few times. I remember him complaining about people putting huge rocks through the rear window.

[treg50]

First off, an Intergra? Nice. I was think maybe SWF 04 stands for "Single White Female 2004"?

Like you said it's been through a lot and some of the panels and kit sections could be in better shape, but it's a good/fun car to work with as they can clean up really nice... just don't beat on it as tempting as it may be.

[Carlton]

It is a hotwheels car, you can tell by the insane amount of rust underneath.

[Buffalo Soldier]

hahahh oh man i remember when my buddy was driving this car somebody took a permanent marker and drew nipples on the graphics. hahahahaha

[jacky4566]

lol ya some people keep complaining about the lack of nipples. there is also a pile of broken glass under the spare tire (probable from your rocks)

[pf0sh0]

It has potential to be a clean ride. FIX IT NOW

[jacky4566]

im in the process of fixin it up majorly but money is tight and i need to find a paint color match so i can get a new body kit. anyone know of a good color matching service?

[jsn]

^^ no body kit. stick with OEM. And while you're at it, get rid of those altezzas.

[jacky4566]

only problem thou is that this has the jdm front end conversion so going with oem jdm front end is just more money than what you get for looks. i think ill buy a less aggessive front end. whats wrong with the taillights not that bad are they?

[SetoJai]

Jackson! Finally joined beyond eh? This is Bailey by the way lol. My word is to save up money and repaint the whole car, put the OEM body kit back on (Unless you are going for show...), and remove the tail lights and put the OEM's back on. Make it a clean ride... Lots of potential dude.

You got a good project ahead of you.
