Default darkside pt. II (pics added)

After a lot of thought and consideration I've decided to crush my trans am and start over with a better donor... I'm picking up a mint 98 v6 silver auto tomorrow evening to put my motor in. Lot cheaper to do that instead of restoring my 95 as well as the 98 has a clean and clear title.

It's a pos, 3 bad paintjobs in its life and was totaled by being t boned in the passenger quarter panel/door. Was fixed and looked good when i bought it then one day the bondo fell off :/ its not worth its weight in scrap.

Unfortunately the 98 I picked up was far from mint like they guy said... But I got him down to 950. And cost me $160 in fuel 12$ in toll fees, $25 to rent a trailer, and a trip to the ghetto :/ pics when the sun comes up.

It looks as if he done donuts through a barbwire fence lol but only dents are drivers headlight door and a few hail dents on the hood, car had ashes all over in it, smelled like weed, console looks as if he dumped a route 44 drink in it and closed the lid, hole in the block I'm guessing. it had a major rod knock and a huge oil trail down the street onto the trailer. His woman was wearing pink leopard skin tight leather pants. My wife was not impressed, but it only took me 5 minutes to get it chained down and the hell out of there!

Harness is going back to my buddy in Nebraska to change it from a 95 to a 98 along with the v6 harness today.
Does anyone know how to post pics from photobucket mobile?

While digging around in the car I found the original window sticker, and the factory build sheet. Thought that was a pretty neat find.

In photobucket mobile if you pull up the pic, hit your menu button and in the pop up window you select view links and just copy and paste like normal.
