UPDATE: Pics after accident on page 2

Well, I was going to tell you guys tonight that all of the following happened:

-Debadged the car
-Tinted markers and turn signals
-modified the front bumper
-repainted car stock color (was very faded)
-intalled new shifter bushings

All of the following DID happen, but unfortunately, an hour later, so did an accident. I was driving a little spirited around a turn and a car coming the opposite way was on the center line, I tried to go farther outside but I lost the rear end and damn near cut my car in half on a boulder. Pics of the totaled car tomorrow....... Here are pics just after all the mods........

[Mr. Clean]

DAMN MAN... i am so sorry.

i would cry my eyes out if i wrecked after all the work i've done to my car already.

hope you had accident forgiveness though!!! haha...

[Sol-Badguy]

Oh, geez.. :(:(:(

[87 Turbo II]

Unfortunately it was liability, but I didn't get insurance involved, they would've given me a $1800 check that would've cost me $5,000 in higher rates for the next 10 years. I'm going to try and squeeze some money out of it..... I am so upset though, the car was PERFECT for 3 hours (perfect as in, I could've driven it for another year without needed another mod)

[Got Milk?]

OMFG DUDE. DONT FU..CKING TELL ME THAT U FUC..KI..NG WRECKED THIS. I OVER HEARD U TELLING YOUR FRIEND IN SCHOOL THAT YOU WERE GOING TO PAINT THE CAR. I SEE YOU KISSING WITH YOUR GF ALL THE TIME IN THE HALL WAY(YO NEED TO STOP LOL).

BACK TO TOPIC.

Your car looks extra clean with the new paint.

[Got Milk?]

[WHT_EP3]

[87 Turbo II]

Yeah I'm okay despite the mild depression and fact that this car felt like a member of the family.

[03RCode]

Damn hate to see that happen, esspecially after putting that much work into it. Glad your alright, its definetly replaceable.

[Imadaman]

[87 Turbo II]

^unfortunately you're right, it looked REALLY good^ I'm hoping you didn't say that after reading, but rather just look at the pics.

I'm just happy nobody got hurt, I can get another car, I can't bring people back to life.

[Fox351]

What are your plans for the car now ??? I have a buddy that is working on one similar to yours and is looking for a hood....if you plan on selling anything off of it please pm me....If not I am still sorry for your accident I hope everything works out for you.

[Revmaynard]

DAMN, you got into a wreck? I didn't expect to see me in one of those photo's LOL. Have you talked to Chris? I spoke to him earlier and he didn't mention anything, he said the car looked good.

[PRODIGY]

She will live to see another day. I swear by it.

Call me at work whenever tomorrow, I'll discuss my plan.

[EJ25RUN]

[Mr. Clean]

sry... someone had to say it haha... dude at least your ok. but yeah theres a TON of salvageable parts on there... you should be able to get quite a bit on ebay or something

[mushroom_toy]

What size tires?

[87 Turbo II]

16 by 6 running 225/50R/16s

[mushroom_toy]

^How much tread...and what do you want for the tires. XD

[87 Turbo II]

About 65% tread life on 2 about 80% on the others, and right now, I'm not selling anything until I make up my mind about putting everything in a donor car, selling it, or parting it out.

[redrumracer]

damn that there sucks

[87 Turbo II]

damn that there sucks
not if you give my your GXL chassis :D....... no, I'm kidding (unless you want to) but seriously, it feels so bad you have no idea. the car was perfect after the paint.............. I would've been able to go for maybe a year before that little voice in us all would start craving another part.

[01SpectraGSX]

Car looked awesome, man. So sorry about the wreck. Glad you re alright though.

[NAIZBST]

sorry to hear and see what happened man

[Revmaynard]

Let Chris buy it for the low so he can make something great out of it.:D

[BuBBa DRiFT]

that really sucks man, sad to see a nice tII get messed up good luck getting back on rotary powered feet :goodjob:

[87 Turbo II]

Good news everyone! (like the professor in Futurama) This is gonig to become a project for the summer. I am gonig to try and buy a 1989 through 1991 (series 5, the sexier one my GOOD looking tail lights in my sig came from) rolling shell with all body pannels. I will then swap over my interior, my engine, transmission, Turbo brakes, and limited slip differential, as well as the needed TII hood to the other car over the summer. I am starting the saving now, and since I don't have to pay insurance, the money should rise and rise until I have a few hundred, maybe a thousand to kickstart finding a shell and cover some inevitable speedbumps I'll hit during the swap. I'll post up here in a few months to see ii anyone wants to help out.

[WHT_EP3]

well at least you have the positive attitude towards the whole situation gl on your next build

[OMG Its Platz]

damn dude..that sucks..sorry it happened,,but at leat your ok...need a hug??hahaha

[koukis14]

That sucks ass.
