Hesitantly Boosting
The Galant that I bought last year after losing the Legnum VR4 in a crash is 16 years old, but I've been giving it a huge amount of love, parts and it's starting to really come together now! I've been also driving it so usually I do my customizing bodywork on spare parts so I'll never lose the car for long
