Any details why?

 

I think he sold it to another evom member but I dont know who. Basically it was bound to happen, he buys all these different cars that need work and he is in way over his head when it comes to knowledge and money to repair them... so he sells them.

 

Aw bummer. I was actually using the search to find out how this turned out.

 

Wow, amazing avatar.

 

Nice project you go going on cant wait untill you finish man best of luck to you

 

+1 who is that piece of eye candy **grabs lotion...**

 

Nice progression and talk through with pics. It will all be worth it, crazy to sacrifice your old ride, but again it will be worth it!

 

i was so excited for p12

 

what a let down, 12pgs of good progress on a great car and nada

 

Revival of a thread that died two years ago? Neat.

 

good work, cant wait to see it done!

 

Clearly didnt read the last page of posts

 

Ugh just read the whole thing to find its an abandoned restore job and a thread revival. Disappointment. This was actually coming along well, was a gas tank, a side skirt and some body work away from a pretty damn good evo. Pity the dude just gave up.

 

ahhh so close to being done. I'm disappointed now

 

That's one hell of a ******** comment to make when you don't even know the circumstances. Your claim that I don't have the knowledge confuses me considering I have built multiple DSM's out of nothing but a shell. I've been in the auto body field for 12 years also so I don't think knowledge was lacking in that department either.

Anyways, five years later I'm just seeing all the replies now. To those that were following this thread I apologize for never updating. I will elaborate for those who were wondering what really happened.

I was laid off from my job back in the 2009 economy crash and did not have the funds to finish the car. No job, and a truck loan at the time forced me to sell it to make ends meet so I wouldn't lose my truck. It was something I had to regretfully do but my credit and daily driver took priority over the Evo project.
The car was sold to a friend from CT who had it repaired, inspected for a rebuilt title and then he sold it to someone from New York. He bought the car solely to fix and flip it for a profit. I have no idea where it ended up after that, but the good news is that it at least was repaired and put back on the road.




Fast forward onto present day..
This story has a happy ending. I've had a new steady job for a few years now. I've worked my way up to a head painter position at my shop, and am doing extremely well. I even got a replacement for the blue Evo.
