Project Envy STRUCTURE COMPLETION! NEW PICTURES!
ok folks new pictures as of today!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
w00h00! Finished up the last bit of structure work to the T/A last night. Old rail is done away with, all supports and such are straightened, donor rail is welded on strong and has been gone over with seam sealer and rubberized undercoating to seal it up from any water and paint is layed down over it.
Heres pics so far, now its time to start putting everything back together, the first of which will be all the fuses, and ABS block. New radiator is gonna be order today also so it wont be to much longer before I can have a video of the car running for more than 10 secs. (Video of us cranking it the first time will be posted if anyone wants but it is a cell phone video)
HERES WHAT WE STARTED WITH:
The front swung over 7 INCHES! needed a rail, strut tower was back, A-Arm got bent to hell, and obviously all the other little things..
Heres a quick pic of how far we had to cut...
And jsut a few of how fucked up the railing and such was
MMk, heres the newest pictures!
<Cleo was very tired after a few hours of hard work

well we buy cars from Adesa Impact. its basic jsut one massive salvage sale. if a car gets totalled in ana ccident, chances are that it will end up there. So we will buy them totalled, fix'em up and re-sell them. the trick to the sales are is getting the car for the right price, and have money to reapir it and make a profit. we managed to get the T/A for 3409 all said and done.
As far as what happened. poor guy had the car parked out on the street and some dumbass ran into his car. thats why the airbags didnt pop
