This is my 1999 Tiburon, 57k Miles, I bought it for 750 dollars because it was in a front end collison last summer and have been saving my money and working on it. When I first got it, the corner support was folded up to the motor lol.

We put a new corner support on it and bought all the front end parts needed from a white tiburon at a junk yard for 400$

So I will have 1500 in it when its done.










We taped it all up today so we can shoot the primer tomorrow and im going to drive it with a black front end till its a little warmer to paint the whole car red.

I was bored so I did this, Hope you guys enjoyed the pics.
