Long Story Short

Post by LKKMateo »

I have previous a employer that has sold me an MX-3.

At first seeing this vehicle i thought it was trashed, but soon found out just how sturdy this little guy was. The previous owner was in a head on collision with a tree. The hood was crinkled up missing the front bumper and the front left fender, with the core support and radiator completly trashed. After the vehicle sitting there for 2-3 yrs, i broke down and bought it. He threw in a set of after market wheels that he himself had bought to go on the car. All in all, the car was worth $300 USD to me.

His plan for the car was put a partial roll cage in it and throw it on the local round track with several other cars(He owns a local race team now). I now want to fix it up, and just want it to run and look nice!

My biggest hurdle so far?
FINDING A CORE SUPPORT!!(In my neck of the woods)

But hopefully i'll get some pictures up soon, and i'll be able to share more of the story with you! :lol:
