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.. http://www.cecoatings.com/images/Car...e/DSC02265.JPG
Needless to say I need a new shell...
anybody have any leads on something LMK !

1992 vert. SOLD
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
WOW man did you punch your buddy in the face? i would be so mad at my friend if he would have doen that to my car. it would have been something like this
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..?

I'm gonna clean the rims up and get rid of em if your interested.
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.
well i guess if you have a lot of free time and cash....lol

TPI 383... ive got to admit. I have the Pic ot the targa top camaro thats sitting in your driveway in 5 diff colors as my backround on my laptop. at college i always get comments like "dude is that your car!!??" and i wish it was. but anyways. could you give me some pointers in going from ttop to targa? i dont want to go to vert but I think targa is sweet. especially with the lowering you did. nice job bro... you broght something new and interesting to the table for me. Im psyched to find a ttop car and start!
