        Wow. That really is impressive.

        I going to go out on a limb and say that your slide hammer, i mean subframe mount, was a leading contributor to the carnage.

          That car will NEVER be made right again. Listen to the other smart people and find another good shell.

            it is looking that way. How can I justify the cars 'death' at this point? Soooo many good parts and everything functions!!!!
            I really need a garage and would happily swap shells. My apt parking spot does not allow this me thinks.

              My advice:
              Find someone to weld that shit up to last you long enough to find the right shell without rushing and line up a spot to do the work. The welding doesn't have to look good, just be structural. Put on shitty wheels and tires is case your tires wear funny cause the subframe is less than perfectly aligned and to keep you motivated in your quest.

              Get all that lined up, add a few buds to help with the swap and knock it out.

              Take a bunch of pictures and buy everybody beers afterwards. DONE!

                    I freakin love this website

                    Ive taken an Mcoupe apart with a minor 'clunk', and what was revealed after removing the sound deadening was catastrophic- The entire cross member was pulled apart- He was a few miles away from his diff on the floor...
                    Yeah that car was r3v'd too lol. BUT we fixed it better than new thanks to Randy Forbes' kit hehe.

                      Damn, My thoughts exactly!!! I think if I get a spot weld done and raise it back up then, sport the 14 or 15's. Would help. Just there's so much on the car that is good!

                      Thanks for the cool rock n roll optimistic suggestion bro!!!

                              I really don't think that car will sell. You may be better off seeing if you can find a storage facilty that will let you work on the car, then part it out.
