its been at least a year since I stopped to look hardcore at the car, and even then it seemed high mileage to me, but there wasnt rust I could see then. As far as a number...im not sure either, Ill swing by it next time out of the house and out that way though and check for ya.

please do, im very interested. i dont really care about the miles, just wanting to know how soon till i would have to re-build. but for the price, as long as it runs thats ok, it will be a project car for now, not a dd. i was trying to trade my dodge for a nice s4 or s5 but i kinda wanted to sell it cause the offers i got were for some pretty cruddy lookin cars. so i would have had to have money with the trade. but they flaked.

ya, ill check for ya, though it would need towed back wherever you needed it to be, at least one tire had been popped off the rim, but the rim's were not bent, just a case of little to no tire pressure during repossession and manhandling onto a flatbed.

new glass is 200ish man, BUY NEW trust me. There is virtually NO WAY in making a used windshield work properly, since they have a high probability of breaking before even being set into the car. I had my front glass replaced while i was at hellbents, cost me 250 at the most with labor and them coming out in the rain.

someone probably DID take a baseball bat to it man, that **** just doesnt happen on its own. I drove for 3 years with stock glass that REFUSED to finish cracking from the drivers side to the passengers side. i replaced it after 1 ticket and 2 more cops said to do something about it/

well it looks like im gonna be building my motor instead of getting one already built the guy i was talking to already shiped the parts i wanted for it so now im kinda commited.

the only thing that is screwed up about this whole deal is that for all the custom parts and stuff i ave to trade him my rew housings. the thing is even though the stuff hes trading me is worth way more then the 400 i can get out of the housings ..I NEED HOUSINGS TO BUILD THE MOTOR and i dont think i will get such a nice set for what i payed ever agian

You still have that FD?? I thought you sold it a long time ago. Welcome back to the forum. I haven't talked to ol' Brillo in quite awhile. He sold his 7's again and disappeared. So what needs to be fixed? Last I heard you had a chipped apex seal. I have some JBweld!

Thanks to Chris for the pics. I'm gonna talk him into running the 8 next month. I'll probably be sporting the Cheeto again for that one.

Well being that its a DSM make sure the crank wong go anywhere, most DSM's are prone to crankwalk, especially with wild setups.

man that looked fun as hell. what do you plan on gettin a dodge for? just daily or like race setup. oh and i stopped by my mechanic shop today and he brought one of his three 1st gens up work work on it. ill post the vid as soon as its done uploading. now before i do, dont bash me cause its a v8 conversion. this is his drag rx. the other two are his weekend babys. ones bone stock and the gslse has a bunch of after market parts on it. but his v8 does the 1/4 in little over 9 seconds. he twisted the frame with it one time, had to find a parts car to change.

LOL thats what happens when you put a v8 witha drag setup into a FB, car's made to flex a bit, just not THAT much lol.
Looks like its time for that car to get a widebody for some bigger meats out back and a super charger....he wants to go FASTER!
