I have to compliment you on this re-build. What you've done is absoutly amazing and is something I can't wait to do one day with a car as soon as I get my garage. Are you close to Irvine?

yea after reading through the posts i have to say good job
, did you paint it yourself i noticed the rattle can guide coat? o yea and good idea sticking with the stock oem color, i would have gotton carried away and painted the car a crazy unique color and left the doorjams and engine bay teh stock pearl color lol
the haters are kinda right about the salvage part i would never pay more than 1\3 the cost of kbb for a salvage car as would most other buyers, its like getting with a really fine *** girl with AIDS, no going back. Im pretty sure this doesn't bother you or you wouldn't have bought the car in the first place, all the time you spent on the car it has some sentimental value

Troll? I'm stating the truth; it's a salvage title.
I would have personally bought one new. Not sure the price it took to fix it, but it was an amazing job. He fixed the car and it looks outstanding. But you can't fix the title brand of salvage. Flame me or whatever but I'm just stating the truth and NOT demeaning the amazing job he did on that car.
