I got a deal today!

[89bluegt]

If I could fix it I would but I'm no body man. I would have to pay someone to fix it. I plan on taking everything from this car and putting it on the other coupe (which will cost me nothing but time) and then sell this body for what ever I can get for it.
Here are a few more pics.

man what a steal! THAT IS UNREAL! Congrats......im with you on the swap.....acutally man, you could end up pretty close to breaking even if you do it that route depending on how much you get for the rolling chassis!

...what do you want for the coupe??

I don't know yet. It will take me a while to convert everything. I'll let you guys know when I get finished.

Oh yeah I see its got a pretty good kink in both rear quarters, that would be a real nightmare. That thing took a pretty good hit in the rear. Swapping everything over is probably your best option.

I would just fix the car it is already in.. I mean it has a cage and all already..

yeah, the rear section don't look horrible....either pull it out...which will take some time..or cut it out and replace it with a new section....a lot less time then would be in taking everything from that coupe and putting it in the other.

I took a good look under the car today and it has a lot of extra bracing welded under there. The subframe connectors are about the same size as the subframes and are welded smooth from front to back. The bar that is connected to the seat bolts is welded and it has another brace welded near the back of the subframe con. All of the holes in the engine compartment were welded and smoothed out.
The original trans mounts have been ground down and new ones were welded, I think closer towards the front of the car. Anyone know why this was done? Is this something that has to be done when you use a tremec TKO trans?
If I can find a rough coupe to cut the rear section from soon then I'll try fixing it. I have a few friends that have worked at body shops that would help me out.

Almost finished

I've been finished with the 5.0 swap but now I'm almost finished with car.

No, I'm gonna transfer everything over to this 4cyl coupe. I still can't believe it. The guy is only 18 and had gotten a nice check from the insurance company so he let it go cheap.

Sounds like the original coupe was totaled by insurance...?
