In this riveting episode of Hoonigan, we meet Georgia, a true automotive maverick hailing from the Great White North but now making waves in sunny California. Despite not being born into a family of gearheads, Georgia's journey into the world of custom cars is nothing short of remarkable. Starting with her grandfather's Oldsmobile Cutless, she delved into the low rider scene, eventually adding hydraulics and turning heads wherever she went. But her roots in horse riding tell a tale of hard work and dedication, showcasing her relentless drive to pursue her passions, no matter the cost.
Georgia's quest for automotive excellence led her to acquire two '59 Impalas for a project that unfortunately hit a financial roadblock, prompting their sale. Undeterred, she stumbled upon a beat-up Toyota mini truck, a diamond in the rough waiting to be transformed. With meticulous attention to detail, Georgia embarked on an ambitious customization journey, crafting a one-off frame and a unique hydraulic suspension setup that set her apart from the crowd. The truck's interior, inspired by the iconic '59 Impalas, exudes a blend of nostalgia and innovation, featuring intricate engravings and a touch of chrome that screams individuality.
As the project unfolded, Georgia's vision for the truck evolved, pushing boundaries and defying conventions in the low rider world. The engine, a 22RE Toyota block, underwent a transformation of its own, with forged internals and a distinct engraving that paid homage to its heritage. Not content with the ordinary, Georgia opted for a Curry 9-inch differential, elevating the truck's performance to new heights. The meticulous hand-engraving work on the vehicle added a personal touch, reflecting Georgia's unwavering commitment to creating a masterpiece on wheels. And with the truck's striking color, sourced from a 2013 Chevy Spark, Georgia's dream of automotive artistry became a reality, thanks to the expertise of her trusted allies in the industry.
