There's the link with picks and a full description, I'm talking with Adam now and he says to go for it. Basically, it will need a new front-end (fenders, lights, radiator support, radiator, hood and possibly a bumper) from what I can see.

What I'm wondering is what you all think. What are some unseen things that it may need having that sort of front-end damage. It doesn't look totally unfixable but his insurance company totalled the car out sooo, yeah.

Interior wise, I'd most likely gut it, if I even get it, and sell the interior bits per the suggestion of Adam.

I dunno, just bouncing ideas around. For those who know me, you know I get this way when I'm checking what's available.

is it just me or does that not actually have a turbo like advertised?

the damage doesn't look to bad, doesn't look as bad as my car was when it was wrecked.

I'd get it, offer him $1,250.

 

based on your previous project cars i'd say you should not buy it. you've had more intact drivable cars that ended going nowhere. it just seems to me that it needs work than you'd be able to do and and would cost too much for you to want to pay for the repairs. if it were $500 then i'd say you should at least consider it.

 

This is true, but like I said, those who know me, LOL! I just toss around these ideas like crazy sometimes.

This one seemed like a rather inexpensive thing to do. Get the S14, replace those bits, since it runs and drives already (well, it ran and drove when hit). I might take a look at it, but I just sent the guy a brief email essentially asking if it's still for sale and if he'll take 1000 for it.

I figure 1000 with 2000 invested means a Kouki S14 for 3k. I'd probably just use it as a backup car while the Bullitt undergoes surgery, but once again, we'll see.

It's not the only thing I'm considering, just the only one that people here would care to look at.

eh
get a 95, and get one that you can drive on the street if you ever want to (not sure why it is illegal?) you can still register/get plates for a car with a salvage title...

 

I think he means as it sits... No headlights would be illegal, LOL! I also don't know how certain states feel about driving around with deployed airbags.

nope i would not buy it.. you will be starting off on the wrong foot... unless you are handy with body work.. its a no go.. and im sure the core support is tweaked..

now unless you are good with a hammer like me lol... i would not deal with that either. keep looking little buddy

 

Gotcha . . .yeah, I've slept on it and now I realize it's not such a good idea. Sweet deal guys, its why I love this forum!
