Dibs on the two little plastic retainer pieces that the convertible top clips into.

Damn, way to necro-post Ish

I suppose it's for the best though. Good news, everyone! My wreck is being delivered tomorrow morning. Start calling dibs on parts for real. I'll set up a general list and put it in the part-out section sometime later. I also have a 5 speed transmission, $100. Come with a free busted KA-E :p

And give me a pic of what you're talking about Ish

Any update on the a**hole that hit you? I'm not sure if I missed it while reading this thread. Hope things are looking up otherwise!

Nuts to both of you! The wiper fluid tank got squished back into the overflow tank and cracked a nice bullet sized hole in it. That or someone assassinated it. Sorry

Rear mudguards look good though.

No real updates aside from the new 240. The car got delivered a little over an our ago so I pulled out the stereo deck and the rear speakers. Knee started acting up so I'm taking a break for awhile. Besides that, there's not much I'm allowed to say about the lawsuit.

I've seen my share of bad accidents, but holy sh*t mate. Glad you're ok! It's likely the dash that broke the femur... I do not envy the extrication crew that had to get the Olds driver out.

so basically, if i were to summarize the song "how to save a life" by the Fray, it would subliminally come to me to buy a 240?

more the reason for me to buy one, god i love it.

i'm new to the forums, and don't really know you OP, but man, i really hope they get that son of a ***** hard for ****ing driving drunk.

i hope you get better man! by the way, i'm EpicNightMayor, hope to see you around here more often man!

These, mang:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...74933I'm missing most of one, and the other is cracked to hell.

I also might want your rear interior 1/4 panels if they are uncracked (especially the passenger side one). I have an aftermarket Nardi/Momo hub if you're up for a partial trade.

Oh yeah, I need your left front fender, too.

Since Loki's coolant bottle is cracked, I might as well mention that I have a spare uncracked one with a brand new OEM cap. Seto, you have dibs if you want it.

Oh, alright. I'll go pull those off in a bit. And the back panels are surprisingly not cracked (except a piece is bit out of the driver's side that hooks up with the pillar, but I've never seen a vert without similar damage), but I don't know how to get them out. And....you're welcome to the panel, but I can't figure out why on earth you would want it. Especially considering it's currently smash welded to the headlight and hood.

Edito: Pulled those plastic thingies, the left one turned out to be pretty well cracked. Right one has a little damage.



Still want them?

Loki, glad to see you came out of that as well as you did, also that you picked yourself up and got right back into what you love.

I've been in a wreck in an S13 that was no where near as bad as yours, but was surprised how well such a small car took the impact.

Good luck on the legal suit. If the SOB was drunk I hope he gets it hard and fast.

Hrm... My clip things look just like yours. I guess I'll take your marginally damaged one and see if I can repurpose it for my driver's side one. Thanks.

Interested in the 1/4 panels, too, but no rush.

I'll look more into the panels tomorrow. Sorry for taking forever for this crap but it's frustrating not being able to move without the crutch, so it makes it difficult to do much.

BTW, the slightly damaged one IS the driver's side :p

I was hit my some redneck 21 year old with bare minimum insurance. What do you think? =/ If I didn't have state supplied health insurance I would still be in debt to the hospital by tens of thousands of dollars.

Eh. I'm not expecting every single NICO member ever to post their pity here. Heart doesn't have much to do with it. Now, one would have no heart if one came strolling along and said "Suck it up, it's not that bad. Whoo! One less 240!" or something.

But uhhhh, thanks for the thought

Iono. I think he lost his license for a week or something. His family is a lot more "liked" in my area. And I'm doing reasonably well. Sometimes I even forget my leg is messed up. It's still swollen to about 1.5x the other one and I'm having doubts if that will ever go away.
