The Victim---

**Turdle** · 12-28-2007, 03:31 PM

OK here it is-
Totalled is a no brainer-however it has 41k miles on it-was my grandmothers car, and so far we have only maintenance $$ into it.

You'll see a hood propped against it-bumper in the second picture. Hood, bumper, grille and transmission cooler were $50.00 at the pick and pull. A new radiator and condenser were obtained for 200.00-

Now we need a header panel?--headlight mounts and a passenger side headlight. Heck I don't know--

All I know is this needs to be repaired, and it is bugging the heck out of me because I know who has to do it.

Good times-

Good memory--I abused my mod powers and deleted the inappropriate rant, and apologize to all who saw it-

This is being pushed into the garage as we speak. There are several parts we are lacking though.
As usual, this will be awhile. I kinda do things at a snails pace compared to most guys here.

Hmmm-don't think this is doable at all-
looks like the front core support is bent pretty bad. Bryan is still tearing it apart but I think I'm going to stop him here.
