Yes this car was pretty abused when I received it... So I started tearing it down this past weekend, haven't seen alot of rust aside from a few rusty screws. I now have the bumper, inter cooler, both fenders, headlights/corner lenses, manifold + turbo, radiator, fan, wheels, battery, entire trunk area has been cleaned/gutted, and all of the a/c components out of the car. Here is a couple teaser pics from mid day yesterday, was to tired to take one that night ha...

I have one wheel (passenger rear) that will not come off, I am not sure what is going on with it but any suggestions?

We should have an all VA meet sometime this summer...maybe off 95 somewhere.

PS...maybe the rear wheel is just stuck to the rotor, give the tire a couple of bumps with a rubber mallet and it should probably come right off.

I had this same problem on my Honda the other day. I ended up hitting it with an old strut, using it like a BFH, and it came right off. My rubber mallet just wasn't big or heavy enough for the job.

So I removed the power steering/lines and the a/c lines, cruise control, ect...

If anyone needs power steering lines or the pump let me know they are in working order, also have the cruise control that is in good working order but ill need the cable that goes from the pedal to the box......

I just noticed this is Josh's old car out of Roanoke. He was the owner from like '08-2010 I think. The plates used to say "LOL VTEC" and the car was in better shape before. I have his number if you want some info on the car He def wont BS you. I know the two owners after him werent to ummm....nevermind.
Pics I have of the car












Thanks for the kind words man. Any word on this thing? Ive been wondering about this car and wonder if it was still going. It looks like it went down hill after it left me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif
