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 :D

Enjoy.

GROND : A Complete History in Pictures

Stephen :cheers:

<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 :willy:

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.

Yes, but you are sane while I need serious professional help :crazy:

WOW, Stephen. That was a nice lay-out of the evolution of your Corvette.

Yes you are......addicted. You need to head the Modaholics anonymous to cure your mod addiction. You need to promise yourself as your New Years resolution not to Mod anymore. Erase all your Mod Vendors link from your computer. Stay away from Corvette Forum.com :rofl:
Happy Holiday EG! :cheers:

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