Bit late to press with this one, but one of our proudest moments yet was the unveiling of last issues street machine mag cover car.
Dave, one of the o.g customers who we now call his family our family bought his amazing esp in back in 2019 for a full custom exhaust from front to back. Many know the car for what it is today, but looking back this car has been with Dave for many years, before kids and was even used as the wedding car for his big day when he managing to jag his amazing wife Tara. It has undergone some serious modifications over the years but always stayed true to the factory colour and trim combo, with the most recent (and possibly ongoing) transformation stretching out over 10 years. Watching Dave build some serious cars over the years in short time and having my own project sit in the corner making minimal progress, he once told me that the the real dream cars take time and related this car to my own struggle. He also told Tara that each part cost no more then $20, so whether or not it was true or just to keep me motivated and the dream alive we all agree that good things come to those who are patient and work hard and builds like this aren't done over night.
