sorry matt.... i'm not making my car into any kind of wagon... EVER

and Pat,no, that was my original bumper that i just built for it about a month or so ago. guess i'm off to find a new one now. i think i can save the spoiler though with a little help from the die grinder.

i'm gonna be in need of a nice original white hood on the west coast along with a bumper and core support if anyone has any leads.

That sucks dude. :( So are you going to still do the 3b in the other 4k, or are you going to drive that stock for a while so you can fix the white 4k?

SOrry to hear, Derek. I know the feeling as you know. But good things come out of circumstances like this. Look in my driveway now, and you'll see what I mean.

Just got home from California with the replacement wagon. Needs a few small details, but it's in good shape with all the goodies I had on the wrecked car, save the FMIC and interior. Looking forward to seeing/hearing your progress on the rebuild and refit.

Chin up,

Patrick

Damn Derek, sorry to hear this, at least it's all fixable and no one got hurt.

if i move the trans and motor over to the drivers side 1" i can use two right side axles and give me about an inch of inward movement at the struts....

How will this affect your driveshaft angle?
Sorry to hear @ the car, but like you said, life and limb are worth more than rebuildable metal...

oooh, pics!

i was in CA all last week patrick! you should have called me, i bet we coulda met up :(

nuugen, it won't affect the angles, it'll just center the trans to allow me touse the shorter axles an be able to move the struts inward.
