Default Re: my new pile of sheet metal. (project RoRo Revive)

I knew the car had been a parts car for awhile but how did it even end up on that route? blown engine, car wreck, repo?

Luckily drew and Larry didnt sell enough parts to make it a total loss. Despite all the missing things, all the essentials are there. I need to get a radiator and fans, MAF, Hoses, mounts, bumper, seat (already have some sweet Corbeaus being held for me). I think thats about it. I need some SVTF axles and after seeing the ****ty steering column in action, one of those. I'll probablly press new bearings if I dont end up getting 05+ knuckles and brakes.

Like I said, my first goal is to get this bitch moving under her own power. Then I'll worry about dressing it up and tweaking it. Given that I already have a complete powertrain, Id say Im closer than anyone to getting it running.

oh, and if you think its gutted now, wait untill you see some pics later this week. The great thing about gutting a car is its free. At this point its so much easier to complete the process than try to rebuild the interior. The only interior piece I really want/need is the center tit.
