The love story began in 2001 when I first laid eyes on "ISABELLA" a neglected rusting beauty in a back yard. I brought her home, gave her a new lease on life, and we've been together since.

She went through a complete restoration. Her engine, transmission, exhaust, suspension, interior were completely redone with upgrades and modifications. She got new front and rear European bumpers, new headlights with Carello covers, new tail lights, new top, her side markers were removed and she got new set of Cromodora wheels with tires.

Look at her now. We've spent almost every sunny day together on the road for the past 11 years. I love it.
