Part One:


Part Two: (Yes, that is a braised core support)


Part Three:




I'll write up a full story here in a couple nights. I've got nearly 200 pictures to upload.

P.S. I bought the car this way, I did not wreck it. Yes, I did the work myself. No, the previous owner of the car will not be disclosed at this time (as he sold the car as "Drives and runs perfectly", which is a direct quote from his sale)

Edit: I'll be answering all the questions I get here in the story thread as a Q&A post. So keep'm coming. I'll start uploading some stuff tonight so I can spread out the load. As mentioned, 200 pictures.

 

you bought it that way not knowing of the damage? I guessed im confused at that. hah

 

Ah, yeah, updated thread.

 

Sue...

 

wow. thats pretty bad.

So, you didnt look the car over when you bought it? That damage isnt hiding under the fender I do not think. Shoulda seen it. If it was a ebay buy or something. No way to tell. That sucks though.

 

JAWS made it to land and took a snack size bite out of your frame?

 

lol, thanks for making me laugh at the situation.

 

You failed inspection and that is how u found out the damage?

 

Alright big pimpin since i got business on the brain tonight let see some numbers. As in how much you purchased this heep for and how much you spent to fix it. Is the title registersed as salvaged or are you still good and clean?

 

I would say the story is not quite told in three pictures.

I didn't know people still brazed stuff together.

 

Im way confused. Whats the first pic?

 

layout of the car frame...left side is the front...right side is the...

 

ok, so Im waiting on the 4th picture that shows that you tracked down the seller and broke his knees for trying to f*ck you on the sale.

 

^^^wat he said

 

I have started to type it up now - I am on page 2/3. This is without pictures though, and without having started to sort the pictures out. I'll go through that.

Looks like it might be Thursday before I get it up fully - working on some other things too that I'll probably write a report up for as well.

Blood, Sweat, and Tears.
