My KE70 Story

Hi folks just a little story about how i find this car and this will be my second KE70. I saw it in sulit.com and my wife check the car and send me some pictures of it but the price was a little bit stiff on my pocket but hey I like the car so what, right? I keep bugging my wife to buy it, then she finally agreed to buy this car a week after Typhoon Ondoy passed by the Philippines. Then finally it went home with my wife but suddenly the engine died when going up the garage. Looks like the car doesn't want his new home because of it's muddy road. Then my wife found out that the starter wire is getting loose and the connection failed to turn the starter, easy fix for us. Couple of months passed by we were still debating when to bring it to the shop to get restored to it's original shape. Not really looking for a car show finish but a respectable look when you roll the street. My wife canvassed several shops, then finally i found some in sulit.com again and my wife checked it. January came then we decided to bring it in the shop that we chose. But we end up struggling here and there with troubles from the shop. 6 months passed by we decided to took the car out even if it's not fully done to end our miseries and headaches. Then my wife just used the car to go everywhere to test it and found out problems day by day she drives it. What a waste of time, effort, money and it caused a lot of disappointments. The current state of the car now is running but waiting to be redone again for the second time around. Here are some pictures of it before and after. Looks nice after but don't get blinded by the pictures.
