As most of you know my car is trashed. If not, check my sig.

I should be home next weekened (not this coming) with my car hopefully. Gaboonviper already offered some huge help, including a lot to strip the car at along with tools and resources to get rid of the smoke stains (dunk tanks and whatever else he has access to).

The car will be in relatively in the Doylestown area (not sure exactly, TBO, gaboonviper will chime in most likely) and if anyone is willing to help strip my current car or help with the install into a donor car at another time it would really be appreciated as you all know im stuck in a really bad spot here.

More than likely this will be the donor car (not in the best shape but only has 83K miles on it). I need some suggestions on what color to paint (some type of black) and more importantly WHERE? If anyone has a good hookup for relatively cheap PLEASE share or PM me. I cannot spend probably much over 800 on the paint job. BTW, i have replacements for the front fendor and bumper along with 3 piece wing and 89+ tails so they will all need to be replaced onto this car too so ANYONE with body work experience please feel free to help out (i've never done body work):

there is some minor rust as you can see but its only surface so some sanding should take it right off. Any dirty interior parts can be replaced with my current interior parts which are almost ALL mint.

BTW, whoever helps ill gladly give extra parts i dont need to use in the donor, within reason of course. Id like to sell any higher priced items IE tranny motor LSD ECT ECT.

Hell, if there is a lot of interest to come we could turn it into a meet and hang out and such too, grill during the day bon fire at my place after stripping is complete ETC.

those dents don't look too bad..little turtle wax will buff them right out LOL....it looks like a great car that has potential and can be brought back to life fairly easy....

We will strip the burnt car at my old work in hatfield pa.... Then work on the other someplace..we will figure that out when we come to that bridge.

I have access to an ultrasonic cleaner big enough for a head....the block can be scrubed with whatever and wire brushes.

Looks like the new car has a motor in decent condition atleast its exterior....wanna sell LOL

this car only needs to last another year and a half, when my 5 years of engineering BS finally pays off :icon_bigg:icon_bigg:naughty:

then i can get an extra one, more than likely an MKIV. But i need something nice to drive in the mean time
