Project "new HUMVEE" winter-spring 2013

Post by Sub »

Hey folks, despite my first desire to sell the military stallion , I ve decided to keep the unit and have it professionally restored myself , I love working on hummers and since I sold my H1 I put my love and the soul in this piece of history. Humvee was very hard to acquire never mind the customs bullshit and fear of loosing dollars as many of us before trying to bring this piece over the border. it was my chance to own a HUMVEE and I didn't drop it. After successful transportation to Canada, there were many questions to cover and gaps to fill so I can get it plated and registered, long story short with my ability to deal with MTO (dealer licence helped a bunch) truck got fully registered. I want to share with you the "BEFORE and AFTER" story , since the The reincarnation began....many hard earned dollars were spent on new parts...full body paint and etc....the pictures will come soon!
