50 shades of grey is300

Early 2014 to current with my chassis, modifications, wrecks , learning as i go & driving.Big inspiration to some of the locals i met in 2012/2013 that played a huge part in my styling, function and how it got me hooked.

I had zero idea of where this car would car would take me, people I've met, road trips taken, being on the side of the road laughing fixing the car with friends at 2am.

Purchased late 14'-15' and immediately became a daily driver.
