Here is my 2005 GunRunner V8. I bought it back in April 2017 with 137K miles on it and with a rebuilt title for around 7K. The reason for rebuild was a small front end collision that only required right fender, headlight, front bumper cover, and hood replacement. I don't plan on ever reselling the vehicle, so I'm fine with the rebuilt title.
Here is my running list of upgrades/repairs that I have done on it. It is a work in progress and I still have a lot more I want to do before I'll be completely happy with the build. I have done the work for all of the repairs, and mods on my own, so if anyone has questions feel free to comment or PM me!

Issues I Was/Have Been Fighting For Months:
- Extremely long cranking time on cold starts. The solution (after trying lots of other stuff) was replacing the fuel injectors. One had a bad seal, and some may have been leaky. It has started up fast, and great since!
- Codes P0441, P0456, P0455 (All Evap related). I am just down to code P0456 now, which is "Very Small Leak". So far to fix this I have replaced the gas cap, evap lines, VSV, and really just need to do a smog test now to find the leak... if it is visible. Any tips would be appreciated!
