Been there, done that.... Took a little more than 3.5 hours, maybe like 5, but that was with just 2 of us for about half the time, then a 3rd person for the other half.

It had frame damage that had already been poorly repaired once. Hear the *crunch* "ew owie" as it pulls up the driveway? No, that's not from the front airdam. Clean? Not so much. More of not so high quaility footage/video. It had the typical teal clear coat peal on roof/rear deck IIRC. 305 TBI... not a whole lotta desire there.

The hatch still lives on on my car, the wheels are on my gf's car.

I got the same type responses when I did the same thing to a WRECKED 92 b4c. "shoulda fixed it". It was worth more to me to swap everything over to my already caged '86, than to fix it, sell it, then start looking for all the bits that I wanted from it, and hope to break even.

i bet they got a lot of money for all those parts. much more than selling the car whole. a lot of the 91-92 parts are hard to find and people are happy to pay more for them.

Believe me, if thats freaking YOU out, imagine what its doing to me!
a) he's not a ghost
b) i've looked at all those pics several times before, and those are just the ones i had uploaded to my photobucket, so i've posted them on forums before and never noticed
c) i dont see HOW it could just be something with the camera, cause if it was just that the shutter was open for a long time and he walked in front of it, wouldnt it be blurry?
d) I havnt talked to that kid in 3 months since he left for boot camp at Parris Island, yet right when i realized he was transparent in that picture and was thinking "wtf?", guess who calls me to tell me he's on his way home from boot camp? yep.
freakin FREAKY. lol

The ghosting image is caused by him using the flash and a half second exposure.
the flash captured him and then he moved and the camera picked up the background.

Camera was a Kodak DX4530

Now I dont know which one is freakier now..... the fact that you can see right through my friend, or the fact that you know exactly what camera was used...... scary ****!

Well this one was cheap but the body was not decent and the underside was in really bad shape. That scraping sound you hear as the car turns in to the driveway is not the nose hitting the ground. Its the subframe falling out of place

If you pause the video at about 2:17 one of the guys is holding up a chunk of the frame to the camera.
