I was about to ask the same thing.
So you are paying all these guys to rebuild your front end?

This must be costing alot more than you thought intitially?

Yes I am //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

Nope, everything so far has been on budget

****, loving this thread. Where at in CO is your Dad's shop? Sub'd for sure!
Hopefully the paint will still match up and won't be too faded compared to the new hood and fender!!

Good luck, car will be sick when it's done. These things are real sleepers and don't look that mean but **** can they move, but auto FTL!

17th and Helena

The tiptronic 5eat is much better then the manual //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

This is considered a luxury car, and I go to the mountains. Stick shift FTL in mountain road traffic

haha i hear ya. its only fair you have help getting it back to stock then taking it over from there! the speed at which this is going is insane btw.

Thx. Gotta work quick while free time is had

wow. lots of work. Good stuff man!

Thx

car is coming along nicely.

Hopefully A little faster. I still gotta a lot to do for the future.

Hope you has monies...

I'll be going stage 3 once the audio is all finished

did you get lucky and get it with a clean title?

ive bought many wrecks here that come through the auction with a clear title (mainly bank repo's) got a 07 escalade last month for 8k whole new front clip, airbags and patched a hole in the firewall (lower control arm punched a hole in it)

total about 11k in it flipped it for about 28k

Mine ran @ 2.1K

But salvage

I flipped my $1800 2.5 RS for 6,700 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif though

I'll have teh monies, I'm going into construction and won't be doing almost any audio modification to it. I'll prob still have my blazer for the deebeez. by the time I graduate, that year model will be going for close to 10k and maybe lower. so I'll spend the extra money I would have used for a brand new truck for the stage 3. Plus I'll need a nice daily driver.

Tis coming along nicely.

I was also under the impression that you and your dad were doing this, but still cool to see the build up.

I have built a couple cars with my dad when I was a young one. I miss those days.

The hood and bumper and fender painted ready to be assembled

are you planning on running any type of system in this thing after you get it finished?

my thought would be to run some wire in that firewall while you have such easy access to it now before it gets all put back together and you can't even see it later on.

 

[99grandprixGT 5,000+ posts]

good idea. save some time later on down the road.

 

[GAM3OVR 5,000+ posts]

Doing the wire run now wouldn't save me any time.

Just piss off the install time of the engine and all plastic parts inside.
