    Theyre already sold to @KiwiFlavor .

    He'll be shipping them off to KW to have them rebuilt since they have 125k miles on em!

    Yessir. Will have radials on all 4

    Yep

    The pics are deceiving. Clean from 10 ft away...but once up near the front...ugly mess once you see the hood, driver fender , a-pillar and roof. Every bushing up front and in the rear was toast as well
    Done sold those in early september unfortunately. Dude drove from indiana to pick em up.


    New build thread will start soon!

    So sad man. Had to be a big reason other than bushings, but sad to see another speed scrapped.

    Yep. Fixing the roof, hood, a pillar and fender cost more than the car was worth.

    Sadly, value of our cars is zilch. I blame the hellaflush 16 year olds who blazed a trail of destruction wrecking them at high rates of speed and killing people, or obliterating the undercarriage to the point of destruction. That said, I will keep Christine for a while, I think.

    Was the undercarriage super rusty? Bodywork is cheap as heck to fix, if you know the right people. Of course, if AWD is what you need to put power to the ground, ok, but I would donate/sell the ms3 chassis (if its not rusting apart) to someone's track or drag build... i'm sure it's gone by now. oh well.
