In the mid 2000's, this car entered my life and I've been in love with it ever since. It's the first car my cousin leased for herself and she cared for it almost religiously. However, in 2013, her father purchased it from her. From then on it was a daily driven, slightly neglected work car.

With my uncles health declining steadily, as did this green jewel. It remained under a tree almost forgotten for the months leading to his passing in July.

With all members of my family being mini van driving soccer dads, no one had the space, money, or time for it.

A few months pass and it appeared destined for another owner. After no one followed up on purchasing it, I swooped in and scored the car of my 11-12yo dreams.

I will be documenting the progress of my restoration on this forum! Let me know what you think!
