    Lets vote on what I should do with my eta....

    Im kinda at a loss for what to do with my poor poor eta. Long story short, I acquired the car from Will (Peavybassist), the car had bald tires, as such, the car met a guardrail during a rainstorm. The car sustained heavy damage down the passenger side, most of it being in the rear quarter panel. The fact that I left for a year for Air Force and didnt touch the car didnt help the cause. The following pics can tell most of the story.




    My initial reaction to the wreck was to pop the trunk, stand inside it, and whack the quarter panel from the inside out via a 20lb sledge. After that, I would probably use body filler, prime, sand, and go flat black.

    As it sits, the car has Bilsteins, M3 springs, UUC short shifter, Fresh painted Brillaintrot Hood, slipping clutch, Black Vinyl interior, Leaking valve seals, spent tires, no radio, and no battery because. My dickhead step brother also shot out my headlights with my pellet gun, good thing my dad j/ got a divorce.

    Im at a loss, clearly there are pros and cons to doing anything to this car. Lets put this to a vote.

    P.S. To any of you trolls that call dibs on the Valence, keep in mind that it's like 5 deep on coats of paint, paired with the fact that I used 1/4" lag bolts to affix it to the diving boards. Yeah, I got lazy and really didnt give a shit considering my initial outlay on this car was a scant < $1500

            leave it looking like shit and put a beast motor in it. Who cares what it looks like as long as it is fun to drive.

                    Agreed. But my dad did just score an LT-1 with tranny and wiring harness for $500.
