Deconstruction of a beauty

[DaveDave]

I spent some time parting out my cabrio this weekend, and decided to take a few pictures. I will obviously have more as I get further along.









It is sad to see it go this way, though it is nice to be able to provide parts for other project cars. It is also a good way to learn how everything in the car is allembled...

Thanks!

Alright it has been killing me to ask, EXACTLY what happened to your car Dave? Links to story or something please. God almighty that interior is hot man.

Is anyone playing Taps?

Long story short, I was rear-ended while coming home from an autocross (where my friend and I had the 2 fastest times of the day in my car). Traffic had suddenly stopped in my lane, I stopped as did the car behind me. The car behind him did not, pushing the car behind me into me. I took it to the dealer, where they estimated the damage at around $11K. The insurance company called it a total loss, and cut me a check minus the buy-back price...

The interior is still for sale, btw :)

LMK if you'll ship the body kit.

A shame, a god damn shame. At least you've got an awesome replacement.

....a beauty indeed!!

Dave...once you get to removing those sideskirts pls let me know how they attach. Our cabs have an extra trim mounting area above the rocker panels and I'm keen to know if the M-Tech sideskirts or panels attach to this in any way.

Thanks man,
Chris
