FD owners are amusing though. i've worked on restoring some FCs that looked about in that condition... hehe
course i usually give the owner a rolleyes look when i see something like that roll off a tow truck, followed by months of cursing and banging on miscellaneous things around the shop yelling "whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

This is so awesome! I love to see any FD saved from the crusher. This also goes to show that some sanding, paint, and hard work goes a LONG way. You don't have to spend a fortune to make a nice FD if you're smart about it and work hard.
Keep up the good work! I'm rooting for you!

bzebern I was thinking of doing what you are currently doing to this shell.
I owned this shell/car got it from tow company that towed it from fire off the freeway.
I traded some camera work for it. I needed all engine components from it which where untouched from the fire. It had a cool setup on it, from turbo back HKS exhaust system, v mount intercooler setup, etc... I would love to come and look at your progress any time you available. I'm currently doing a single turbo swap on my FD if your going stock I can hook you up with all the components i will no longer need...
