Re: beaterX project thread

Cool that you are getting the axe mark taken care of! Hopefully you get the car back on the road sooner than later.

Re: beaterX project thread

It's awesome to get other stuff fixed too. Two birds with one stone... I did the same thing on my silver SE when hail attacked it last year. I ended up paying a little extra out of pocket to get everything taken care of that bothered me. Makes the damage turn into an opportunity to improve other things. lose/win kind of deal.

Picked beaterX up today! Bus damage all fixed, new rear bumper, rear quarter damage (that's 4 years old) fixed, and front bumper is finally fixed/attached nicely! She's never looked this good!

Re: beaterX project thread

Hellz yea titty city! Show car only, all set for the all-mitsu cookout!!!

I'm honestly thinking a new set of spark plugs, an oil change, and a car cover are in this car's future. Now that I have an IX as well this car can be for cruises and cookouts. Just need to figure out the wheel/tire situation as I'm planning on stealing the Summer X-wheels I have for this car and putting them on the IX. If I'm happy with that setup I'll probably find another set but not sure what to do yet. My bank account = LOL right now

I approve of the Murlostands and car cover plan for this one now that you've got the IX to racecar with.
