- I bought this low/average mileage great overall condition Spyder as a daily driver in 2017, with some light and tasteful mods but it still rocked the OEM look. It had an IPT auto valve body, "3 Apexi full exhaust just to name my favorites along with a few other little goodies here and there.
November of 2018, it was totaled out (fell victim of texting and driving teenager, hit from behind at a stop light).
Now, the car is currently stripped, prepped and ready for a new life in a new shell as all of the major components (other than the body obviously) came out unscathed. *Edit - found out that the original engine has crankwalked - just a ~minor~ setback!
I'm a bit overwhelmed with the project as far as little details go at this point and time as it's still in the beginning stages, however, my most obvious goals are an AWD swap and 300hp to start.
