well i mean you can always salvage the rear, the hatch and back numper and most of your exhaust stuff should be pretty good and your interior can probably be salvaged or at least most probably can.
you didnt get hurt did you? like no injuries at all? -------------------- |

wow. man. this makes me nervous to even drive my car around now. my city is FULL of idiot drivers. i avoid atleast 3 wrecks a day. with a total of 2 that would of been my fault. but you know.. **** happens. like what other people have said, a car is replaceable, a soul isn't. but what sucks the most is the ungodly number of hours of work that went into that car both directly and indirectly (actually working on it, and working for the money spent on it). im glad to see you make it out of that horrendous accident.
would you be willing to sell the dash?? like the area above the glove compartment. mine has holse in it -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

I may be driving down to SC sometime this summer and I'm not sure if the way down there will be leading me through your neck of NC, but if it does I def wanna come down and see what you're working on at the time.
We had a couple of pretty decent PM convos. You def seem like a cool cat and showed more excitement for your car than a lot of people. I have no doubt that you'll be building another monster soon. Glad you're alright brotha. -------------------- |
