Before Pictures - Car/Body

[Clutch GSX]

Here are some pictures to show what a piece of crap my car was before. I bought the car in San Diego but it spent its whole life in Chicago so there was quite a bit of rust. The front bumper was destroyed by running over semi truck tires on the freeway, getting caught on high curbs, and a lower ball joint failure that dropped my car to the ground while getting on the freeway. The body has seen better days that's for sure. Long term plans are to paint the whole car black with flat black rims. Im going to shave the door handles, rear windshield wiper, and broken antenna first.

That rust is nothing for a rust belt car.

Yea my car has/had way worse rust problems. Your strut towers don't even look that bad.

Yeah its by no means the worst ive seen but its unseen around here haha. The transfer case is the worst. Stay tuned for the before pics of my engine.

Nothing that cant be addressed. The car isnt too bad. Good luck.

Nice, it doesn't look that bad at all. I would say keep the car silver, too many black cars out there .

Thanks guys.

Yeah the altezzas were on the car when I got it. They were the first thing to get replaced haha.

I used to have a black Eclipse. Black is just too damn sexy to keep it silver. I have yet to see a black eclipse in person besides my old one. I hardly see turbo eclipses anywhere in so cal. Wierd.

I got my car for $6500 in Nov. 2007. You should be able to find one pretty cheap now as long as its not built. I'll keep my eye out for ya. They are pretty hard to come by around here. I have no idea why.
