Well kinda..........
I picked up a rolling shell. its a VR 93, I belive its a base model. The one color I didn't want but I couldn't pass up the deal when offered to me. It needs some help but the body is in great shape. The complete list of things I will need is Engine with all accessories, Tranny, Dp, Exhaust, battery, gas cap door(lol), new rims(sittin on T2 rims), and some small Misc. parts. I've priced all the parts I need in the 'For Sale' section here, and its not gonna be that much to get it back on the road. I will need some help with install of the major parts but that wont be until next year. I know a couple of FD owners, Josh, Edward, and Jeremy. Anyway, just thought I would come in and say hello.

I can't wait to actully get this thing driving, but first i need to get it to my house,lol. Like I said before, thanks for willing to help.

ok well I finally got the car to my house. My friend called me up and was like, lets do it now, so we did it last night. It took 4 pretty big guys to push it up the trailer, me steering it, and another guiding me up the ramps. Everything was going great until we had to take it off the trailler. The trailer was wet due to the fog and the tires on the car are bald, bad combo! The end of the trailer sits like 4 inches from the ground which turned out to be a very good thing since when I let go of the e-brake to back it up to the ramps, when i went to stop, the car started sliding and hit the ramps which fell off of the trailer and so the back of the car and the tires fell off the trailer too. But since it was only 4 inches nothing scraped. 3 guys ended up picking up the front of the trailer so the frontend of the car wouldn't scrape when I backed it down. We ended up getting it down safely and now its sitting in a my driveway just waiting until next year for me to start on it.
Thanks to Josh and Marshell for attempting to help me get it home!

BTW I'm getting an engine real soon for free. Its blown and it might have some rust on it but I'm gonna attempt to re-build it. If I can't then I'm just gonna take it apart and put it back together alot so i'll know how to do it, pratice! I mean its free so if I mess it up, o-well.

 

Niiiice, its about time you got it to your house. I told you to call me when you picking it up so I could help you lol. O well...so when can I see this mystery FD?

 

**** my bad man, I totally forgot. My friend Tre called me up out of the blue and was like, 'lets go get your FD now,I have time.', so I said ok and just went with who we had.
Call me later today or I'll call you and you can come see it, I'll meet you at the palace movies and you can follow me into my subdavision to my new house. I don't have my laptop so I don't have my AIM, I hope I set the away message,lol.

 

where did you get this car from?

 

I bought it from a friend here in N.O. Why do you ask?

 

Whats His Name?

 

Why? He got it from out of state. Whats with the questions?

 

what's with the dodging of the questions?

a simple my friend (fill in the blank) from (fill in the blank) would have been fine.

 

Damn, this went from:
"I just got a new FD"
to
"Where did you buy it?"
What's with the interrogation? Sounds like y'all are askin' if it's stolen or somethin'....

Where the pics at man? I wanna see this thing...

 

well you can say what you want but if you knew him or know what we know than you would uderstand the situation down here.....
-J-

 

Wow, why so defensive. Jonathan told me he found a roller a couple of weeks ago. I figured he wanted to find out if someone else got it. So where are those pics man!
