So yesterday I decided to pick this up in Fresno.





Drove almost 200 miles. I wonder if member used to own this car before. From the records, it seems it was from mountainview/sunnyvale area. Does anyone recognize this car? Thanks

It has an injen intake and an exhaust which i do not know the brand. It also has JDM tails.

damage is on the suspension left side. the parts and labor they estimated is 2200. that price can still go up. i just moved to norcal so i need a car badly.. been so busy for the past month. it feels like i moved here just to get it f'ed up..

the front doesn't look that bad, but is anything bent in the front?

as for the rear, if it is mainly the suspension parts, you could easily get them from a junkyard and do the work yourself. I don't think it would be that hard to do.
if you're really busy and you don't have the time to do it yourself, then it wouldn't be worth 2200 to fix it...

front doesnt look too bad. wheels are bent. struts needs to be replaced. control arms etc. i could do it myself on the weekends. i just need the parts, how to do it and some tools..

This isn't Leonard's (flying_lizard) old car, is it?

Edit: Never mind, he had an ST...

Looks clean, congratulations. Part the old one out!

i would swap the hood and the 2post spoiler on your new one, swap rims and tires if you can and part...

or sell it as a rolling chassis. but if its been totaled or salvaged, then part it...

^ don't think so. the other mirror is not folded in.
but nice car nonetheless, looks really clean. the old one looks like it has minimal frame damge which can be straightened out but will have to be done professionally. would be a nice candidate for a swap with awd conversion wink.gif

Very possible you're right Azian but I'm hoping for his sake that it is power folding - that would be a nice little addition to his new ride.

Either way nics, I'm glad you have another 6gc and that you're not giving up on the crew. thumbsup.gif
