Why would you do such a thing? I guess that just makes each of our cars more rare.

Would have made a lot more sense to post that on a Mustang Forum. Too bad, someone may have really liked to own that car.

Honestly, that was just retarded. Simple things for simple minds eh? I guess to some ppl wrecking something perfectly good somehow makes sense

Seriously... If he bought that for $100 I would have easily offered him like $101 for it. It did look clean, I would have been willing to go up to $200 weather it ran or not. I hope the dinner was worth $100 profit.

well the car is from canada, rusted too **** in the front end(and a little around the rear window)as far as california standards go, all the rusted front end parts will be swapped out, the motor, a leaky 12a will be swapped out in favor of a 13B blowthrough turbo motor, wheels and suspension are getting upgraded as well.... the owner of the rx7 (he is riding shotgun in the rhino) is building the car for drifting, and i (rotaryshack) sponsered the car to him, so he had some fun before the car begins its transformation!!!


p.s. for you canada guys .... the front bumper has headlight squirters...WTF???
on a cool note the speedo goes to 200 km, but most people here think its mph!!!LOL
also the oil pressure is in bar and the coolant guage is in celsius!!! thats bad ***!!!
the gas guage is weird too, it reads 0.... 1/2 .... and 1 ??? strange no E or F !!!
the car is from Weber motors in british colombia ...
the car has the original owners manual, and its printed in french!!!!!!!

when the car is done i will post pics for you guys, i WOULD NEVER destroy a good rx, never!!

Then you my good man, is a fool i tell you! No seriously, please dont do stuff like that. One day it will be you in hunt for a obscure little part, and then you discover that some jerkoff has broken the only one in 3000 mile radius..

Nope. I aint no fool. It just happened that we have an oversupply of parts at the junkyard. There are only a few of us that actually pays attention to SA/FB. As I mentioned before, my supply of stock parts should be good for at least 1 more body.

You should move to LA. Blah blah blah

just for that. I will have my bro take a pix while Im trashing some parts before they get get smashed.
