A long, long time ago
In a country not far away
Gold Rush empire was destroyed
by menacing pirates!

A man on an island set out
to make right what was wrong
The battle was long
Parts went a missing
but the damage was too great!

The light side had gone
There was no hope
His heart clouded by darkness
Something Something Dark Side!




Hello everyone!
Welcome to my mad 24 hour mod that ended up being 48 hours lol
This project is my personal build, and wasn't for any sponsor, or by any request.
It's for me. and i made it how i like it :D

Let's get this started!
So... i started out with the good ol' damaged gold rush. Stripped her down to her undies.
Pulled out the rattle cans

Started by re-spraying the panels.

Then, i went on to 2 tone the case, in silver and gun metal. (Really liking the gun metal recently)

Time came to really get down and gritty and **** this case up (in a good way though)
So, i took a paint brush, some silver nail polish, mixed that with some grey spray paint and went NUTS!

And i give you... A star Wars theme'd something something dark side.

Decided to take this further, and go balls to the wall.
Crazy, this looks really really impressive in person, but in photo's it looks,.... meh

First, i cut up the original front panel, styled it up to match the system.Boom!
