Ouch. Sorry man. Good luck with it. I'd try and find another shell If I were you and swap everything over. IMHO, unless you know how to do body work yourself, it's not worth the expense on a car that's as old as ours.

put it back to stock finda blown motor and all, then total it out and get a cheap shell and some more parts!!! get 2K for the car and go for 1K or more in injury/personal loss.

Yeah it really sucks. I just changed the front and rear brakes the night before as well, and I hate doing brakes so it kind of all for not. Just gotta wait it out and see what happens and go from there. Thanks

Alright so I pulled the motor last night and Im gonna do the suspsension,wheels, and taillights tomorrow and put her back to stock. If I can find a shell for a reasonable amount (CHEAP AS HELL) I will keep everything and get back on track with 300hp+ project, we will see whats in the stars. If I cant get a shell I will probably sell everything and get a CBR. Im gone.

Yeah I know thanks. A friend of my brother might have one for me with a silvia front and no motor so I will see what happens. Also, I read your thread on the flat white paint job and just incase i didnt say it--your car looks amazing man. Between your car and seans car it makes me want to get a coupe. I wonder if I could swindle sean into taking 2k for his car...j/k!
