SLW42 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 no wonder why you paid $20 good luck with it!!!! I personally would have found a straighter shell and started with that But keep into it and it'll come good, just check if it has any chassis damage, if so throw the car away and find a new one :yes: Quote
BUZ440 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Id second that, alot of work for that old girl, but good practice Nathan had a shell with no motor which looked pretty clean, he wasnt after that much either and needed it gone Quote
kpope18 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Posted March 2, 2011 ive checked it and its all good the radiator saport need a really small bit of straightening but not all that much Quote

20vT Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 If you can get the car high enough on axle stands you should be able to unbolt the x member and drop the engine on a trolly jack. Thats how I did it with my old GT4 dropped the car right down onto the x-member unbolted the x memebr with the motor and box still attached to it, jacked it up as high as possible and towed it out with our other car, although still makes it difficult to move anywhere else but atleast its out of the car. Car is looking good mate good to see its all stripped and some of the panels getting ready for some paint. Quote
