    I plan on it. The body is in too good of condition to scrap it.

      I would seriously consider getting a newer shell and swap stuff over if I were you, just my 2 cents.

            that seems like a lot of work. and i dont know if he has the time, and space and money to do it.

              No I don't. If this happened in the summer time I would (no school, loads of time to work). Oh well, I'm taking it as another challenge, an oppertunity to learn. So far i've done most of the mechanical work myself and I'm proud of it. Also, my driveway is pretty packed, its got my car, my dads old car, the family tent trailer and a 14 foot boat. I dun know how or where ima stuff a parts car...

                  But, upon mentioning shell swaping, i would realy be interested in buying a late model and putting my eta into a plastic bumper car.

                    WHY?!?! The only reason it seems so torquey is because of the lack of hp, it falls flat on its face! It only has ~10 more ft/lbs than an i motor.

                            So wait, you were going 25, turned, hit a pot hole, slid, turned some more, and then hit the curb at 25? Your math might be wrong.

                              @shiftbmw: while i was turning i was goin 25. then i hit two potholes which unsettled the car and since my tires were shitty i started to slide a few feet away from the curb. I was also turning after i hit the curb, and that where i figure i fucked my fender/ firewall.

                              Edit: Some good news (I guess) - I was planning to upgrade to H&R springs this summer, but because of this i may be ordering some H&R Sports very soon... :)
