Towed the car home earlier tonight and got it into the garage, which was a bitch because I live on a hill and 4WD was needed in the truck. Even without the motor and trans these cars are pigs. Anyway started the tear down about 2hrs ago, got a few things off biggest pieces are the hood and fenders for now. I'm sorry Paul (thedsmguy) and Spencer (4thStroke), I know you guys needed fenders but mine are garbage. The bottom bolts under the dogleg on the left fender were rusted down to a 8mm head size, got one out but the other required foot and rage to get off as did the right side. I tried a flathead at first, but that was actually punching the rust hole bigger through that lower part, right side just ripped off rather easily.
Each side dropped a good amount of rust filled dirt afterwards.
Pretty much going to say everything above the tires may be usable, doors maybe, anything below is trash. Glad I didn't try to dive further in for modding or rust repair, it's an adventure now to see where I can find the next cancer engrossed spot. Of course when all said and done, a lot of stuff will go up for sale, just not any of my rare and jdm parts, I need those.
1350/2000 can be stricken from the list of operational vr4s now. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
When I get Internet in my new house I'll post some pics.
