Guest iskone Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Thanks for the help. I had no idea that guys were even running this type of scam (That's whatI'm calling it). I had another guy do the same thing, well that's what I thought anyway. He had some bad feedback and made to bids in a row and didn't ask me any thing before hand. That's why I gave him das boot. I could be wrong but who the hell bids on a car with damage like mine and doesn't ask any q's or even shoot an e-mail to discuss payment, shipping, or whatever. This is more of a pain than I thought it would be. Now I'm thinking about saying screw the house and fixing the ride afterall. I mean whats living in squaller when you drive a bitchn' 240 anyway But seriously, I will give it some hard thought if my car comes no where close to the reserve. Besides my labor and getting it repainted it wouldn't even cost me any money. We all have access to some free or nearly free fenders and hoods, right. HINT....HINT....

But thanks for the help I may still need some parts. It's looking like I'm gonna rebuild her afterall. The auction is going kinda slow and I'm just NOT amotivated seller. But I'll wait till it's over to annonce her ressurection. I need to sell off some parts to pay for it though so after the auction I may post my other E88 and some other stuff I have.

Guest iskone Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Looks like I'm a rebuildn' I just need to figure out what I'm gonna do. Replace with new inner fender, tube chassis front end, small block? If I decide going small block is for me then I'll sell off my motor, so if you need an engine I may have one.

JMortensen Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I would forget the tube chassis. Too much hassle and not DIY for most people. I'd see if you can find a body shop with a chassis jig. Basically they can tweak the strut tower back in place. Then you could reinforce it with something like a PDK strut tower brace setup that is braced in multiple directions. That would probably still be stronger than stock, and then you don't need to figure out how to attach the fenders, etc. Glad to hear you aren't selling it. That really would have been a waste.

Guest iskone Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Yeah, I'm gonna take a closer look at all my options. I mean if someone comes along and puts up the money it is thiers. It really depends on my house, if I can figure out how to get a few things done the car will stay for sure. If not I amy have to sell her durt cheap or part her out.
