some interior pics







Now to the damage

I got hit by a 94' Chevy Sevice van

He was from Ohio and had NO licence NO insurance

i lucky have speacilty insurance so i will be okay

but for now i got a HUGE paper weight for sale (looks like a intercooler) just kidding

but yeah i have it back in the garage getting a new facial (i am still doing the same design but its all new )

also picked up a ARC titanium gradation spark plug cover and im going to polish the valve cover

pics later



if this happens again i will sell the car or just garage it and get a new project this is getting ridiculous

i love my 240

dude that sucks hahaha

i'm about 4-5 hours north of you, so at least i don't have competition with another s13.5 :P

if i had to say ONE thing i'd do to the car, i'd lower it a bit more. cause the first pics looks like my buick stopping HARD hahaha

let me know if you need to sell any of your parts, i'll buy em from you. i break my front end a lot too. O.o

Am that really sucks. Your car was one of the like 3 s13s that made me fall in love with these cars. Definitely the sexiest s13.5 ive ever seen. Hope that never happens again. I would hate to see that car garaged. If you ever go to sell it hit me up. I might sell my house for that.

Thats on awesome car, looks all supercarish. I can hear the girls now, " What kind of car is that? " She looked great and i am sure she will again, no trips to the 7-11 in that beast. You would be amzed at how many people don't have insurance. They have a new program they are working out here in texas were they can run your plate and tell if the car is insured or not. It has got that bad. Good Luck with everything man. I wish mine looked half tat good. It would take me two more years to get there.
