Rosemary... Pics inside...

[ChrisRTaylor08]

Sorry about the wtb post earlier... I dont use forums much. Anyway... Here is pics of the Clean 97 GST I wrecked and I am beginning to build. I just bought the thing for 4K off of my buddy and Im beginning to work on it but Im not familiar with DSM at all being a previous owner of a 2J Swapped SC300 so Im asking for all of you norcal DSM tuners to help me get this baby back on the road. It doesnt deserve to be parted out and I want it be the machine it once was. Once again if you want to take a look at it or maybe help me on the project please be my guest you can PM me or I have a ton of other communication Mediums.

Here she is (affectionately named Rosemary after the bushes that were stuck in her front bumper...)

4k

thats a lot seeing how its almost totaled...

but good luck with the rebuild!

 

[ChrisRTaylor08]

I was going 45 in the rain trying to make a 45 degree right hand turn so I braked and the brakes locked up and hopped a curb and went into a bush... and yeah 4K is alot but he was going to sell it for that much and I wrecked it when I was supposed to be checking it out so I just bought it full price...

What a nice guy. You wreck it and still payswhat he wants for it.. Nice looking car. I hope you can return it to the way she should be..

 

[ChrisRTaylor08]

Thanks I feel bad... Im actually going to start working on it in a bit... if yall want to see it give me a call... Ill be in west sac at the U-Store It working on it...

Doesn't seem to be in that bad of a condition. I'm sure you can get it up and running in no time.

 

[->PrOjEcTGS<-]

Looks like just some suspension damage. Must have hit something to make the airbags go off though.

 

[ChrisRTaylor08]

Yeah its actually not too bad... I just took the front end off today and and its not too bad... It looks like its rack and pinion damage and lower control arms... Maybe more... Pics soon...

 

[ChrisRTaylor08]

Here are the updated pics...
Yesterday we took off the:
*Quarter Panels
*Front Bumper
*Hood
*Tires

Soon were gonna get some tires for it and it looks like theres some oil on the rack and pinion and we need new control arms... As far as I can see... If any members are in the area and wanna take a look at it cause I can use some DSM expertise dont hesitate to call (702) 217-1483 I could use a little help.

it would be easier if you could better discribe how the crash inflicted the damage upon the car, but I have a feeling if you just replace the entire suspension assembly on both sides, you'll be fine. That is, the coil over assembly, both wish bones, knuckles, etc. Everything in the wheel well area. What damage was there to the front? Does the motor still start up? Was there any damage to the axles?

 

[ChrisRTaylor08]

There was basically no visible damage except for the wheels being pushed back and the steering wheel being extremely difficult to turn left. No damage to the front end at all and as far as axle damage none that I can see.
