Back from the dead?

When I saw the "The Loss of a Friend" video/article from Mike Burroughs about the death of his e28 "rusty" I, as well as lots of people around various forums/blogs, was super bummed to see such a sick car go. There's just something about it that grabs a hold of you and just won't let go. The whole rust theme, the old school fighter plane paint job, the absolutely amazing fitment/stance, The car is just one of those that stands out far above all the rest.

But as if by some sort of miracle, Rusty seems to be back from the dead! Ok, so it wasn't a miracle.. According to mike there is some major frame bracing now as well as some floor pan welding, But either way the car is alive and kickin, boasting a new 1jz heart (twin-turbo inline 6). Mike also threw on a new set of wheels and him and a couple guys have fabbed up a custom one off airbag setup,  These guys are nuts!
