yellowdatsun Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Sooooo why didn't you just put a front clip on the blue car? Would have been easier than all the work you're doing to the white one. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I think the blue car was a write off and no gaurantee even if spudly were to fix it that it would ever be able to be registered for the road again. Quote Link to comment

spudly13 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Sooooo why didn't you just put a front clip on the blue car? Would have been easier than all the work you're doing to the white one. I think the blue car was a write off and no gaurantee even if spudly were to fix it that it would ever be able to be registered for the road again. ^^^ Good part of the full reasoning No offense, but im really tired of giving the full answer to this question. Long story short, You have to know when to cut your losses. The money and time it would have taken to fix that car, that had been in multiple accidents and had a significant amount of rust, would have been close to what I want to spend on this car. and there would have been zero gurrentees that car would ever be straight and track straight again. The car needed a full front clip, including significant firewall work, roof work, new frame rails, fenders, grill, valance, etc etc , the strut towers were pushed back (this is all just from the accident that totaled it, not to mention the previous damage to the car) and basically what it comes down to is it wasn't worth the time. I would rather spend my time building a new car that in the end will be way nicer and cleaner then (like I stated above) a car that is already fucked. Im a firm believer that with enough time and money, anythings possible, But there becomes a time to cut your losses, and im taking the opportunity (as shitty as it may sound) to build a better, cleaner, car. It took about a week to get my tail light panel from OZ. FYI. Josh- Yeah, metal would have been the better way to go... but I picked this up yesterday.. 1 Quote Link to comment
VintageRice Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hey, Look here jack. I'm all for cheap. And glass is CHEAP. Y not use it. Looks good, light weight. EZ Cheap. Race cars are made out of it. Smells good when you grind it. And unless people come try to stick a magnet to the back of your car no one will know the difference.............unless you post it online or something hahahaha..................................o wait. 1 Quote Link to comment

spudly13 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Final test fit, looking pretty good, going to pull it back off, make sure everythings cleaned up, and get it all clamped into place to start welding it in. I got a good, but bad phone call today, The last three summers ive worked construction for a general contractor, he called and He was asking when I was getting out of school, blah blah blah, anyway, im now leaving school immediately after class at 920 in Mt Vernon, and driving down to seattle to work the rest of the day. Cant complain at 20$ an hour, means more better parts! but also means less time to work on it... Goodbye social life! School, work, and then work on the car! Note that nothing is clamped down, so the gaps look a little big 4 Quote Link to comment
