It's by the good grace of God that you are still alive after that wreck. If you don't mind sharing, what happened?

The car isn't as bad as I thought it would be tho. A little elbow grease and you will be good to go.

Well was on my way to the bank after I got off of work and was driving. And just remembered comin awake think wtf just happens then poke my head out the window and seen the truck I hit and moved my steering wheel off my lap. And tried opening the door but it wouldn't go so just sat there till the ambulance came.

They molded the rear to the quarter panel? Why in the world would someone do that? Thats going to cost a pretty penny to fix those mistakes! Sorry to hear about your waste of money!

Stock rear bumper, skirts and hood and this car will look great. If it has lower miles, I'd say its worth it, especially if you got a good price on it.

Dude glad your ok, your angle was working overtime that day! About your car, truthfully its not as bad as I was imagining. I think if you would change those wheels it wouldnt be SOOO embarrassing while your putting money together. I kinda like the hood its different. Honestly if you look at the numbers your going to spend a lot and get 0 in return. Say your able to get all your parts for $1500, you still need to have it painted, and thats something you dont want to skimp on $3500 so your in it about $8500 and the car wont be worth that. With that said, its your car and driving something that you built and feel good about is priceless. Good luck.

I plan on doing all the body work myself and having my cousin spray the whole car. We have a paint booth in our shed so as far as money goes to fix it, it'll all be my time.

If I keep it I plan on doing some sort of cowl hood not sure Wich one tho and saleen side skirts and wing, I already have a factory rear gt bumper from the one I wrecked. And it has around 106xxx Wich I find pretty decent considering Wat people can get outa these motors, and I think I got a damn good deal on it considering I've seen a couple salvaged ones around here that r asking close to Wat I think I've got into mine.

Ya he definitely would. Everyone say it was my grandpa who past a couple months before my accident, crazy azz **** when I was in the intensive car unit I was in the same bed that my grandpa past. Shyt like that starts makin u think, stuff like that don't happen for a reason.
Ya that's all the stuff I've been debating and is why I decided to start a thread but as soon as I start putting money into it ill be keeping it and making it like no one else's
