I've seen about 5 bodies and of course over 3-4 gran $$$$ and when I check check for trouble area yep no good , or no floor or good in one area and bad in another area or no tittle or bill of sale etc.. Trust me I've tried . And this fabrication job is expensive ****. So if I'm buying a car for 3 gran if I was lucky and I still had to do work on it they may have charged me about another 3-4 gran and they probably won't be as detail to prevent rust like I am. I've gone over Aaron cakes videos may times lol ..
I've spend many many$$$ to get what I need to do this and I'm finally got what I need to do this . Now remember I bought an rx8 rebuild it and pimped it , and no it was not finance so a big chunk hurt my project but no regret . I'm in full throttle on this is awesome to have the equipment this is by far the worst area .
