Say goodbye to my almost done project.
Went to pick up my wife at work last night and a buddy decided to get a head start on loading up my car to bring home.
We were gonna pull it out of the building and up to the front of the parking lot with a fork lift later. Well he decided to get a head start and pull it out himself. needless to say car came unhooked from the tow strap and Went rolling down the drive way ( prob 100ft or so) and crashed into a building. Manged the rear quarter and the door on the building.
Looks like the complete *** end is sagging now. busted the tail lights, etc.. rear quarter bend enough its rubbing the back of the tire.
at this point I just feel pulling the motor/tranny/rear/int. out and all the new body pannels off and scraping the shell. ****ty part is the cage was just welded in a few months ago..

Needless to say I need a new shell...
anybody have any leads on something LMK !

There wont be much left of this thing once I gut/strip it. Nothing to resemble a vert. Im pullin the inner structure back out, all vert pieces, all suspention mods, cutting the cage out. etc..
It will be a unibody with a front k member and rear quarter pannels.
yes i have a title Ive owned the car since the early 90's

I picked up a 91 RS V6 car for a shell. Running V6 car for $400

So for now I'm storing all the vert parts, Stripping the teal car to a bare shell and having it completely media blasted. Then por15 in the complete shell,inner and underside.
then swapping over all my parts, suspention,cage,rims,etc.. then It will get the vert treatment again this winter.

that's a steal of a deal! $400 with t-tops, spoiler, rims, tires look good, and it's in one piece!
what rims are on that anyway? A buddy had those in high school, and I loved '
em, but have no idea who makes them or anything..?

No sorry. It had the stock RS spoiler and flat hood.
Thats my 92Z wing and my 3inch cowl hood. The rims are some old school 15's. "ULTRA" is what the center caps say.
I pulled the hood,fenders off this car and traded then for a set of nice iroc rims. (single groove)
Im putting all my body panels on this one since mine are mint. plus my 17x9.5 SS rims.

I was hoping you'd say that
Not really in the budget to buy new wheels, but we'll see. Know what width they are? And/or the tire size on them? I'm assuming you wouldn't want to remove the tires first that is...
I could probably get a good sized penny for my wheels to someone restoring a 2nd gen, these snowflake 15x8's are pretty rare I guess.

go away. He lost his car and you're gonna sit here and dog on it?
Chris, I hope you keep at it and get her done. I've been working this week to get a place cleaned out to get my vert conversion project in the garage and I hope to see some "in progress" pics from yours to keep me going.....Good luck!!!!!

I still see some good parts in the pile. I would have bought the front half of the car if I knew it was going to be "quartered"!
