ArmoredOZ intro
Whats up everyone!
my name is Josh. I have a 2003 lancer OZ rally edition, a 2002 Nissan Sentra Ser SpecV, and a 1985 Toyota Corolla AE86.
little history:
about 2 years ago I traded my 1996 dodge ram 1500 with a 5in lift, 3in body lift, and 36x10.50 dick cepek fcII's for the lancer straight up because I found out that I was going to have a kid. a lifted truck isnt really baby friendly
. so anyways...here we are with the lancer. drove it around for a little while and then realized that we would need two cars. so i GAVE her the lancer. transfered the title free and clear. i went out and bought myself an AE86 beater to drive from A2B. A little while after this her car was stolen from the bar 4 blocks away and it got severly damaged. it was jumped off a railroad crossing about 20ft out onto the tracks. the entire left front suspension and drivetrain was destroyed, and there was a lot of cosmetic damage as well. I fixed the major issues so that the car could be driven and left most of the cosmetic stuff alone.
Fast forward to june 6, 2011 :
It was a monday and I had my son that weekend and i was trying to contact his mother to find out when i could bring him back to get ready for work and such. a detective called me and informed me that she had passed away. She overdosed. her tox screen showed marijuana, cocaine, morphine, and A LOT of alcohol. well two weeks ago we finally cleared the house out and i was able to get the lancer back. i was pretty shocked with its overall condition. outside was about the same as it was when i left her about a year ago, but the interior was a wreck. completely trashed and full of trash(3 garbage bags) and the motor is making some funny sounds now. Hopefully i can get this thing fixed up to look good and run nice and have a great looking and running backup DD.
Onto the pics!!!!!

Well here is a small update. Gutted the interior and cleaned everything out. Replaced the alt which was what the funny noise was. The alt pulley bearing seized on me. Other than that, I replaced the broken black housing headlights with brand new oe headlights and relay kit for them. And I had to replace at least two of the wheels so I just bought a new set of these JDM wheels.
