Bringing her Back from the DeaD
 
Well, after about a week of looking for a car, and getting no where, I have decided, that maybe the best thing I can do, is bring her back from the dead. I walked out to her this morning, looking all sad, sitting in the driveway, and put the key into the ignition. SHE STARTED!

I was so happy, that I figured, maybe, just maybe, its not as bad as I thought. So, with a couple of weeks, and some patience, I am going to try and put her back together. I will need a driver's side fender and headlight. And Also a hood.

Any Donations will be accepted if someone feels bad and wants to help me out. :)

I also feel, that if I do get her back into shape, I will never get rid of that car. She will be my legend. It will be like one of those classic cars one of these days, beautiful, and shiny. Those are my hopes and dreams.

If anyone has any advice, then please, advise.

Thank you ahead of time for support.

Maybe you should use this as an opportunity to do some modding to the car. You know, stuff like those carbon fiber hoods people are always talking about. If you're into that sorta thing I mean.

Well, went to work on her today in the rain, and it turns out, I am going to need a new driver's side front clip. Amazingly, the car started with all the stuff I had already pulled out of it. and yes, I plan on doing some modding to the car. I dunno what yet, and with no one in my family seeming to want to help, my budget is sorta limited.


If anyone wants to donate any of the parts I need, feel free. I need a driver's side headlight and corner, a grille, the driver's side front clip, and the little white coolant overflow bottle looking thing.


I guess we will see how things go....

If you were closer I could give you a few of the parts. How much of a front clip do you need? (pictures maybe?)
I've got a parts car that will be going to the crusher once I'm done stripping it.. only problem is shipping the parts.

DeaDLy93PRoTeGe May-18th-2003 12:04 PM

I'm going to need a front clip, from about the middle front of the car, to right before the strut tower. I am also going to need the driver's side fender. If it were easily shipped, I could pay for shipping, if you could find out how much, that is if you were willing to give it to me. Because, as I said, I am very budgeted, and need a car. Plus this is a big thing for me, to get this car fixed, and looking good.

You can IM me on Aol Instant Messenger at MaZDaSPeeD WV .

Thanks

get some pics of the car and post em, i wanna see the condition.

DeaDLy93PRoTeGe May-18th-2003 01:20 PM

Like I have said before, I do not have a digital camera, to be able to show you guys what she looks like. I may be able to get ahold of a digi cam, but its very slim. Actually, I may be able to get my neighbor to let me borrow his....now that I think about it....Hmmm...we'll see.

front bumper
 
hey i MIGHT have a front bumper you could have in a couple months but i'm ALL THE WAY in chicago so shipping would prob be insane plus i duno know if u wanted to wait that long.

DeaDLy93PRoTeGe May-18th-2003 06:59 PM

Well, because I had already replaced my bumper once, it turned out that the aftermarket bumper was a hell of alot stronger than the actual bumper that came on it.

So I really don't need a bumper. I do need a radiator fan tho....

THAPRO1 May-18th-2003 09:27 PM

oh ok sorry i don't have one of those

DeaDLy93PRoTeGe May-18th-2003 10:44 PM

Well, I am going out tonight to try and get some parts off of this car that's been sitting down the street from me, the guy said I could take some things off of it.

It's crushed in the same spot as mine, so I definately cannot use his front clip, I may just take his mirrors and center console.....


I'll let u guys know what I find.

vtec-this May-19th-2003 01:17 AM

just buy a parts car or goto a j/y and pull the shit.

DeaDLy93PRoTeGe May-19th-2003 02:41 PM

I'm going to try to get some pics later on this evening, if at all possible.

I have been looking into a parts car, but cannot find one near me.
