Ha ha!!! j/k loved the ride Din, how's the rebuild coming? You'll always have one of the sickest show rides when it comes to the SC department, not to flashy, or gawdy. Just right with a nice touch of p-i-m-p.

Just had a full tune up and timing belt put on for 450 so now its ready for that long trip back to ny from atlanta. Juss the paint left... any color i want, sanded down and re done totally for 1200.
Wow man, $650 sounds pretty damn good. Im new here and in the works of buying a 92' SC300 from a friend for $1300. It's got about 202k miles, but comes with a real nice sound system and 18in chrome rims. Its hit in the front a little worse than what yours was. I'm not too knowlegable with repairs, but I cant even drive the car to a shop right now to get an estimate. The fan got pushed in towards the engine a few inchs and it wont budge. I also think the alternators gone, after jump starting, car wont move more than a couple of feet without dying. Friend says batteries still pretty new(3-4months). I live on LI, NY... cars in the Bronx right now. Still in college, so funds are limited. Do you happen to know a good body shop in NY where I can get this fixed and maybe paint the entire car black? I was thinking of putting on a body kit also while repairs are being made and before it gets painted. Dont want anything too great, just a little something something will make me happy. How much am I looking at spending for everything do you guys think? Repair body, average body kit and paint job? sorry for dark pic... Btw, that red paint color is really hot man. Gluck with everything..

Here's more pics of it all around. Car obviously wasnt taken care of too well. and to top it off was broken into last week by some kids. Good thing they didnt get to the system in the trunk though. They did go to town with all of the key holes on the car except for the driver side and ignition. I cannot even get into the trunk right now. =(...

::Update:: on salvage sc
Hey.... im just about ready to start up the body work again. This time im trying to do the 97+ conversion and I got a few questions/conserns. 1st off im gettin it painted the metallic red 3 stage. I was searching the threads to see if im missing any parts. My main thing is the side skirts and the little one on the quarter panel. Would it fit on my car 93 or do i have to get a 97 quarter. As for the side under the door how would that work. Im kinda iffy on the rear lights since ppl talkin about the dash light comming on and it blinking fast. Ne input on that?
