The Great Pumpkin!

The Great Pumpkin began life as a Platinum Silver 1992 XR2. I picked her up in August of 2012 with only 60K on the odometer!

She has gone through several changes in the 2 years I have owned her. The previous owner had attempted a few engine mods, but they were mostly just "that'll do" type things. But, I had a great platform to work from, so I dove in head first! Here's what she looked like when I picked her up:

I knew she was going to be my daily driver, so I couldn't do too much all at once, so I started small...


I went from here....

I know I'm bringing this back from the dead but is that Plastidip and if so did you spray it?
