Haha i appreciate it, I have a place to store the car for now at my grandmas house so it will sit there until i can start working on it. It is actually en route there as we speak, my dad just called and told me my uncle had just left with it on a trailer.

I'm glad to see you're ok and no one got injured. But it breaks my heart to see shuch a beautiful SE totaled. Hopefully you're on the road soon again.

I feel your pain...

Its been over a year since I lost my Seven due to my own lack of attention. I am currently rebuilding her and stranded on the wiring, but not a day goes by that I don't miss my baby...

Well I have a small update, today I saw the car for the first time since the accident happened and it killed me once again to see it all messed up.

I did however start pulling the now scrap metal pieces off of it to see what all I had to work with and everything and it was a challenge.

I pretty much got everything torn off of the front all the way to the waterpump pulley except for the drivers side headlight motor and stuff on that side. I will be back to work on it in a couple of weeks and I hope to get the engine and trans out then and start stripping good parts off, I have found another shell that I am probably going to get and then the swapping will begin!

anywho....heres some pics:





This is my ever growing parts pile

I will prolly have a door for sale soon once i get another shell and ill let you know but i do have a transmission sitting in my basement at home i will sell you. Its an FB one and thats all i know really, I picked it up from a guy who just wanted it out of his shop so i figured i would have a spare, he said it worked fine when he pulled it.
