    Default This was supposed to be a surprise to you all....

    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........

    Before:




    When prepping for paint:




    Before clearcoat:


    The best this car has ever looked (this morning after picking the car up for paint and putting in all the lights, lenses, windshield wipers, trim etc.):



    Tomorrow, prepare for horrifying pics of the unibody absolutely F*CKED

    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)

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

    ^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.

    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.

    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.
