Supra vs. Saturn, a real Kill story (NO 56k)

[921JZ-GTE]

hey ya'll im new to the boards and some people asked for pics after my intro so here they are from the accident then the rebuild. i lost my HD on my laptop where most of them where so this is all I have. go to http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1036953#post1036953 to read my intro post if you want the background.

this is the day after the accident, i'm the one giving the thumbs up i'm soooo glad the tow truck driver decided to use CINDER BLOCKS TO HOLD DOWN THE PLASTIC ON TOP OF MY CAR!!!

this crack in the windshield is sponsored and brought to you by the other guy's head. (the one in the first picture)

and finally a close up of my $1800 blitz intercooler that i had on for the 1.5 months i was driving the car before this happened

you think thats bad, you should see her car! Fortunately she did not have a passenger.

OUCH, I'm almost positive that won't buff out...............:cry:

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

damn... The plastic didn't hold up on the saturn like i hoped!

 

[921JZ-GTE]

just a couple of rebuild pics. they kinda suck cuz it goes from trashed to mostly finished but heres what I have...

having a hard time getting the hood open....

stress relief program, anyone need in?

got a little hitch in my giddyup

i wish i had pics of it but we cut the core support out and welded this one back in. well I didnt but the guy at the body shop i paid did...

you can see it a little better here and also the new IC core, thanks ebay!

KENTUCKY CHROME BABY!!!

all in all car took the hit like a champ!

 

[kingsupra]

thats sweet man, glad to see she's back together!!! bet that was long worth while work

 

[cartel1_950]

thats amazing! my car wasn't that bad when it got hit and they wrote it off

 

[921JZ-GTE]

Back together, and back from the paint shop. All praise and thanks go to the big guy in the pics, Shane. Supra mechanic extrodanaire and unbelievably generous soul. Also some great parts contributions from the first class supra guys in Ohio.

I'M BACK BITCHES!!!

CANADIAN POWAAA!!!! LOL! :biglaugh:

It's Canadian which might as well be French and its white, the color you wave to surrender. I now own the car and I'm from German decent...coincidence? I think not.

 

[thejrman]

im not going to lie i wouldn't believe you if u said you crashed it. if i didn't see the before pix

 

[RazoE]

what hit..?

man, that shit is a tank with a blow off valve....

 

[921JZ-GTE]

oh they totalled it out, but i bought it back if for nothing else but the motor. the damn thing had been in the shop getting the swap for almost a year cuz i got deployed again to hurricane relief while it was in there and i couldnt get parts that the mechanic needed.

LOL, no shit man, i really plowed that saturn and i agree with whoever posted it earlier, i deffinately don't think that will buff out. the thing that probably saved me more damage is that it had just started raining before i hit her so we both slid a ways.

notice my license plate? my other car really is an M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank, I like to feel secure when I'm driving

 

[eman2289]

Holy shit! It buffed right out!

Good job man!

 

[RazoE]

you should ditch the steering wheel and pedals for a T-bar, hahahah...

 

[suprastanger507mgte]

OUCH, I'm almost positive that won't buff out...............:cry:

haha damn - you sure about that Jay??

I like the sponsorship comments...those cars are both torn up..:aigo:

Wowo nice work on the build back. Its a 92 so definitley worth saving . Car looks beautiful man.

 

[suprahero]

OUCH, I'm almost positive that won't buff out...............:cry:

I stand corrected...............

 

[noah89t]

after seeing the first pics, i thought this was a rip thread. but i was so wrong. great job on putting her back together. i bet you feel great about it.

 

[coobies5]

wow! nice work and good to know everyone made it out ok

 

[suprahero]

I'm glad the driver of the saturn was o.k., these guys here were as safe as in their mothers womb............:biglaugh:

Ill have to join the crowd of people who are in Awe. This car litteraly came back from the dead. I think after damage like that i would have given up but if it is a 92 which package with a optional sliding roof.... that was def worth a try to save and who ever did the work, deserves a serious pat on the back.
