my project pics...coming along nicely
i bought this car less than a year ago for 4500 bucks...the right side of the car was totally smashed in and need tons of work..the engine was a rebuild with 12k miles on it..after 1k dollars of body work the car looked new again...except for the big primer spot on the right side..so i now have full three inch exhaust, black racing seats, dyed my tan carpet black..have boost and a/f guages, rims, type 2 wing and a little project im piecing together...tell me what you guys think..also should i keep it white?

Looks nice, but did you have to post 7 times? And yes, keep it white.

They can clear a salvage title? Yikes.. that's scary. Good thing Car Fax holds onto that info then, otherwise you could say it's never been wrecked/prior salvage and no one would know the difference.

Very clean! Is that a Base model with moonroof option? Have you considered getting a 99 J-spec front lip?

Wow that's news to me. I didn't realize you could clear a salvage title. Guess it's a buyer beware market.
