How? You've only driven it less than a mile and the rest of the time it was on a trailer. lol Good luck man, no need to go broke over a car. I say put it on hold while finances get sorted.

At this point it only makes sense to rebuild. Should only be I'm thinking like $3-500 with a new billet wheel. I'm sure you can find some un-used parts laying around to sell Then do a GTX

This is your chance.

6871

Seriously. You'll make near your race gas/e85 numbers on pump gas alone.

Do it, nows your chance.

so i flip flopped between the olive and the metallic grey so much that i was stked to find a color that combined both almost exactly.

And it will be at my door tomorrow AM.. so I took monday off.. and am going to try and knock out as much as i can over the weekend.

after going to another local car show.. i realized that i needed an "unpopular" color.. one that wasnt going to eb on other cars..

Avery Midnight Sand Metallic.
