Wellllll. Bought a V6 parts car. Front lip in tact, just a small crack + some fog lights on there. Rear hatch with wiper and GS wing. Small rust spots starting to bubble on hatch. Rear disk brakes intact with tie bar and working e-brake. Brand new ball joints and tie rod ends in the front. (dont need, I bought new Moog ones already) Power windows, power locks, cruise control, everything. (cant use the cruise, it got busted, dont want it anyways.) Interior is MINT. TINY tear on driver seat. Will probably swap the cloth interior for my LEATHERs, just because this int is so clean. Automatic tranny was rebuilt less then two years ago. (have $2000 in receipts for tranny.) Custom exhaust put on by Lou's Custom Exhaust. (will be re-using this, minus the stock headers.)

So, that being said. Will probably have for sale complete leather MX-3 seats, rebuilt auto tranny, w/e V6 parts that arent busted, plus all my powder coated parts that I wont be using. Stay tuned for tons of pictures and hopefully progress in the next coming weeks.

That guy must have gone under a truck
I like the bright suspension parts.
You should start a worklog.

Some pics from yesterday. He ran into the back of a dodge ram, with tow package. The bright orange parts came extra with my orange RS.

i want the stainless steel door sill's looking like a fun time ripping a car apart.

^^ mmmMmmmm.... no.

And yes, cant wait for some time to start rippin it apart. I have to strip down the pumpkin so I can swap over the good parts. Ill be taking the front/rear bumpers, hatch with wiper, both doors with panels, front/rear seats, complete rear suspension, the whole exhaust, maybe the front suspension (if I can utilize the ABS brakes??). Already swapped the rims onto my 2nd gen protege (the dd).

Also, the only thing keeping the pumpkin from being alive is the damn turbo inlet broke and I need to get a piece welded up so there wont be any leaks. Its been down since September I think.

is that a 92/93? interested in selling those new ball joints? mine are fucked

Its a 92. Well see about the ball joints once I can get in there.

Anywho, I was wondering about the ABS that this car has, If I drop the whole rear subframe, will the ABS hubs cause problems? Will I be forced to swap over all the ABS parts or will they work like regular brakes and just have extra reciprocating mass due to the tone rings?

Also, what other parts are needed? Prop valve, Master cylinder, E-brake cables..

What are you trying to do? You can use ABS hubs and axles in a non ABS car, the only difference will be those ridges. I wouldn't say it's extra weight as they're negligeable.

Beside the smashed part, it looks good. Nice seats!
Cute tosies, to.

haha, yea. Theres def some rust in the rockers, I am not looking forward to pulling trailing arms.

btw, those tosies are Cassie's. lol Tino, Cassie, Me.

I need front bumper reinforcement if you can ship it to me.

Well, I got the pumpkin pretty much stripped except for the front and rear bumper and suspension stuff. SE leathers are out. Doors are off. Hatch is off. Rear interior plastics are out. I will be taking out the headliner/visors/front seat belt plastic thingys(where the manual belts bolt up)/passenger pillar off and wrapping them in a black fabric. Vacuum the whole care and attempt some rust proofing. I found a couple rust holes already. One quarter sized. And one a little bigger then a dollar... bill. I gotta see if I can get someone over to weld some stuff up and get that taken care of before its TOOOO late. =[

Anywho, on to the pics. (should this be in the worklog section?)
