My brother is buying a car trailer so we're picking it up this week and putting it into my storage unit for a bit. In the mean time, I should be picking up an '04 Lightning to drive around and haul stuff. The SS will be the weekend/track car. |
I'll be going to pick her up tomorrow. My brother is buying himself a flat bed car trailer with a wench so I'm probably going to bring my old SS wheels and tires and put those on at the car place so we can roll it onto the trailer. Then I'm going to put it into storage for a little bit while I gather my thoughts on everything. I swear though, I'm having fucking bad luck on cars right now. The day before I went to pick up the Lightning, it got stolen and involved in a high speed police chase. Luckily the only damage is the front bumper has some gouges and the fuckers tried to run from the police with a blown out left rear tire...and of course the door lock and ignition. It's getting fixed by insurance now as we speak. |
i would pass on a car that you know that was stolen.. i theif beats the living dog piss out of it if it was in a chase.. |
Unfortunately I can't...it's already been paid for. |

Im definitely glad you decided to buy back and keep the SS ! Best of luck with it as well :) |
Here are some shitty cell phone pics of it getting loaded up. They use a freaking fork lift to move cars around at this auction place!! Good thing is while it was up in the air, I was able to get a good look at the undercarriage. No real damage except the muffler is all fucked up. The rest of the engine, transmission, k-member, and other braces and parts aren't hurt. I guess first things first, gotta take it to a chassis shop and get the unibody checked out. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._7823456_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._6180964_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._7537879_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._4847908_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._7288940_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...9_694479_n.jpg |
It's a bummer seeing her like that man. I wish you the best of luck getting her back together. I'm sure it will look gorgeous when done. |
I hate to see stuff like this. With the frame damage I see in the pictures thats gonna be a parts car. Best of luck to you. |
buy another one and start again or come over on too the ls side:devil: |
Glad to hear that you & your friend are both ok,sorry about your Camaro man trust me I know the feeling of losing a car you put so much time and money into I also hate to see Fbodies go to waste so if I was you I would fix my baby good look hope you come back out on top |
Thank y'all for the kind words. I have a replacement axle for the passenger side so once I get some air bags to lift the car up (since it is so low now and I can't get a jack under there), I will pull out the busted one and put the replacement axle in so it can at least be a roller. From there, I am taking it to my favorite body shop and having the frame checked out. Updates to come...keep in mind this is going to be a pretty long term project. I just don't have wads of cash to throw into it so I gotta do some saving up. :bang: EDIT: I keep looking at those pictures of it on the trailer and get so sad. Even all wrecked, she still looks so shiny and clean. :( |
i have some chrome zr1's just like those 17"x9.5"-11" with nitto nt555's on the front, and sumitomos 315's out back in good condition for sale if you're interested. |
Thanks for the offer but wheels are the LAST thing I have on my list for this car! |
