Projects, projects!

I took all the lights, mirrors, trim, etc off the VR base I'm having repaired/repainted and towed it to the paint shop today. The doors, hatch lid and bumper covers will be pulled at the shop. Makes it a little easier to transport the parts that way.

I also picked up a CYM FD that is need of some serious work, it has been wrecked, repaired poorly, wrecked again, repaired even more poorly. I am going to strip off all the parts off the front end, engine, suspension, remove the dash and carpet to facilitate the repair. The front structure from the white 94 will be welded on. We haven't decided if the right frame rail will stay on the car or come off. The right rail is not damaged but it might make it easier to fit the entire white front end on in one piece, keeping nearly all the factory welds.

The rest of the car will be stripped to bare metal and repainted at the same time.

The engine in the CYM is actually from the white FD.

You got a nice little project with the red7. You should be able to turn it around in no time. As for the cym repairing a car that some shop hacked up is a pain. good luck and if you come across any other cars in need of bodywork and you got your hand full shoot me a pm.
ever since i got rid of my last fd ive been lookin for a bodymans special. ps if you got the red 93 with 11,000 miles that was in VA i hate you. just kiddin

Hey Jeff, nice pink thing you have there.

It looks like a heavily molested 1960 250 GT 2+2/GTE
