i'm afraid the amount of money in gas it would take to drive 12 hours would equivalate me buying an a-series out of a salvage yard and rebuilding it.

where do you live?

[da9]

[Mellexx]

Agree with cah, she should clean up really nice. Get to fixing that fender!

[JordanQ]

I've got some bad news guys.. tried to tow her home from my dads shop today.

i forgot that about 6 months ago when my buddy swapped rims, he didn't tighten the lugs all the way.. like i said i didn't even think about it.

this happened.

[ShyBoyCA6]

what the fuck? why poor 3gee im sure it will buff right out

[JordanQ]

when the wheel came off it took one stud with it.

after we found the wheel and TWO of the lugs, we jacked up the car and put the spare on the 3 studs left, (as you may be able to see in the picture, the tire that came off was bald on the inner side. NEGATIVE CAMBER FTW) so like i said we threw on the full size spare and got one lug on decently and went to tighten the other one. it snapped the other stud off. so we limped the car to a local abandoned gas station(with one lug on it and only two out of four studs) and left it :(

until i find a trailer..

[ShyBoyCA6]

oh man well the good thing is that your ok and looks like you got some work to do.

[JordanQ]

yeah thanks man.

anyone have a cheap hub assembly i can buy?

i'm 15 and have no job. keep that in mind!

[JordanQ]

well long story short, i got her home in only two peices! haha. when we were pushing her off the trailer, we accidently ripped the front bumper off.

pics tomorrow. i'm sleepy haha

[w261w261]

Well OK, you fucked up some. But the good news is that you're young and willing to plunge right in. By starting at 15, you have all sorts of time to figure stuff out. By the time you're 20, you'll be ahead of most people mechanically.

Everybody makes mistakes. The stupid ones are the ones that either don't try because they're afraid to fail, or are stubborn and don't learn from their errors.

Go for it.

[Mellexx]

haha 15 year olds ftw! I joined here when I was 15 but I still don't have my 3g :(
glad to see you're willing to work on it man, I'm looking forward to seeing you get some work done to it!

[Hazwan]

Yeah! At least you're not being retarded and do stupid shit to it :thumbup:

[JordanQ]

[Mellexx]

haha agreed, I'd need to see a chop of it and depends upon how dark the smoke is too I might do a few chops of it to see how it might look
