Salaved car
Awd swap was not the greatest
Drivers qt. Panel was fixed and full of bondo and paint was falling off
It was just a parts car any way all I wanted was the black top for my car
My car has a lot less miles and no rust on it
Dash harness was cut up.
Didnt MAP do the swap? When the car was there it looked pretty dam good to me.

I pretty sure they did the swap
all I know the x-brace was cut out so the body was flexing with the top frame out. holes were cut in the car for the gas tank and for the rear end and the gas take holes were welded shut. the metal that was tryed to used as a patch for the rear end was welded very bad and burned through all over the place.
pics I took before Mike picked up the shell

did not take one of the damage on the drivers 1/4 panel. It was bad the body work was bad holes drilled in the sheet metal and pulled out that way and jut filled with bondo. the bondo started at the back of the door and went to the rear bumper and was thick. pretty sure that is why it was totaled out not a for a theft recovery

Just got back home from picking up a turbo back. The down pipe back has 1000 miles on it. The o2 Dump had 10k on it will be selling it I have no use for it. He bought th down pipe back and new rims and tires and blew his engine after putting them on.
