The Grond Chronicles : 2005, a year in Pictures
Many of you have asked me for more pictures of Grond, the build out, the mods, the mistakes and failures, the triumphs and tribulations. And so I have responded.
Here are some 2800 pictures of Grond from the day I bought it in Sept 2004 to today, 15 months later. It is unedited, so there will be a few great pictures and some not so great pictures
Enjoy.
GROND : A Complete History in Pictures

<edit> I just realised that I did not include the Day 1 pictures (as purchased from the dealership complete with chrome baubles, stock exhaust & intake, no blackouts, BSMs, 4x4 etc.) - so here they are
Grond : Day One Pictures
I think the first mods started when I removed the BSMs 5 days after I bought the car

I also bought my Vette (a 2003) in September 2004. To date, I've done one mod (unless you count new tires) ... a Blackwing. 
I suppose we represent the extremes of the mod spectrum.

Very nice Stephen. 
Your car has made quite the transformation in a short period of time. I sort of laughed to myself over this one. You could title this one.........The humble beginning.

PaulI think the true "Humble Beginnings" started when I removed the BSMs 3 days after I bought the car
