ANy progress??

 

heres the progress so far. i honestly didnt think anyone cared.
anywho, the progress so far........................................
thats it. basically, i got a job with 2 friends working at a tire shop local to me (10 minute drive up 1 major street) making 10 an hour. just finished my first week, got a 48$ paycheck for one day of work. ouch, deff time to start hustling people for sidejobs (i do audio.........if anyone is interested near 94518)

i have to work for ~3 months to get the money i need together, then save up to move to SD and go to school in arizona for 2 months, 10,000$ student loan to aquire through them, and a wedding to plan and save up for.
gunna be a BUSY year for me.

yes, im only 20 and getting married 2 months after i turn 21..............oh well

peace

 

I got married at 20.... Makes life hard brother..

Why do you need $900 to fix the car? Should be a straight forward swap over, or am I missing something?

You mentioned that you can powdercoat.. Have you thought about turning that into a sidejob?

 

yup. and tried, no one around here wants SMALL stuff done, all huge stuff. i can only fit 16" wheels in my oven.
and anyways, i have to replace a **** load of parts, such as the right side shocks, dtss eliminators, sway bar end links, paint, materials, and brakes, might as well just go all out on those, i have no other choice.

have to replace these parts.




and here are the brakes.

That may suck that you got into a crash, but now an N/A S5 + a TII S4 is a bautiful thing. You can use the better tranny and 5 lug stuff from the TII (as well as bigger brakes), use all the pretty stuff from the s5 (interior, bumper, lighting, fogs, mirrors, wing, and trim) and the end result is a pretty good frankenstein combo.

 

oh, it was pretty much a gxl already, minus the power options. had the t2 drivetrain and n/a engine, all i needed was power windows and such.
now on to what i wanted to do in the first place.

update:

gunna get rid of the shell this weekend with my first paycheck, and start prepping the other shell for engine bay painting.

peace

 

progress.

got the engine pulled, gunna get rid of the body very soon.
i also, 5 minutes ago, spotted a gxl for sale in the next town over for 250 obo. so, im gunna call the guy tomarrow, and probably pick it up this weekend, swap in my engine, and have a running car.
man, gotta love luck (preperation meets possibility.)

peace

 

porgress again.
i bought said car for 300 (had to convince the guy and threw in 50$ extra to tell everyone its sold.) gunna pick up the car on sunday and pay him the rest. i paid him 260$, the other 40$ on sunday. but, from what i saw, it looks great. blue interior with a black dash, so anyone know where i can get a nice black t2 leather interior? or just straight black would be ok.
i will have pictures up asap.
