Default Before and after

This may have been done before but...how about seeing a few before and after shots. And I don't mean giving us the whole nut and bolt history of your work, just a shot the day you bought it and what it looks like today, limit 2 photos each, (1 before and 1 after).

I'll start, and luckly, I didn't have to do too much to it, re-paint, new wheels and tires, and a few under the hood items.
