  • And another one bites the dust...

    This past Sunday, at approx. 4:30pm, I lost a dear friend. and she will be remembered.
    R.I.P. RedRocket





    I never even got to tell yall all the work i did over the summer. New struts all the way around, new front strut mounts, new sway bar to control arm bushings, new control arms, new tie rod ends...it was a good time.
    Most of you have seen what my car used to look like, so you know what's inside. I'll probably be parting out the car soon, just right now I don't have the time.

      Yah we're fine. I was driving two friends home after it had rained...car started to hydroplane, went it to the median, sliding sideways...then it caught in the ground and rolled.

                I'm glad you're all ok, and deeply sorry about the car. If you part it out, I would be interested in the rims.

                      hey all. not sure who is waiting anxiously for me to start parting the car out.

                      but just to clear up any questions on how soon i'll start, i go to LSU and the car is roughly 3 hours away. i've got lots of homework and bills to pay. not sure when i'll be able to start taking stuff off.

                      btw, sparky's got first dibs on the rims since he asked first, then fb71.

                      if you've seen the car before and there's something you want from it, private message me and i'll keep up with who asks what first.

                              i thought about rebuilding it, but the sides were rippled, like the body had either crushed or racked. not sure i would trust it.
