    Rip Rp5476

    Yesterday we removed all the usable parts off my old car and filled it up with rubish and took it to the dump. 1AJS go the corner lghts and matt got the bumpers and fenders. 11pm Last night we stuck it on the A-Frame and towed it out to the scrap yard. I guess they will tow it in this morning and crush it. Anyways i just thought ill post some before and after pics to remember it by.

    when i first got it:




    Where it sat with no engine for 6 months cause i couldnt find a new b20. I got some wheels for it and also mucked around installing some rangi sideskirts we made up haha:





    car was severly rusted around teh boot lining so i spent $300 on getting some panelbeater to fix it with a bit of metal from my other car:

    Decided to make the car white so i insytalled even more white panels and a 88-89 front bumper.




    Pretty much the last thing i did to this car. Now i got this
    I gave up. i was going to sell but after the crash the cars handling sucked and i really couldnt be bothered with it.

    So....

    Cool seeing the whole history of the car! Damn it went through a lot of engines! Looks sad hanging out on the side of the road in the dark missing half of its parts, ready to get crushed...

    This is one of my favorite pictures of your car.

    we always dump our cars outside the scrap yard at night time. I dont think he likes having to drive his forklift outside to collect them too much but he still does. We usually go their the next day and ask for 10 bucks ahaha
