    Unhappy bad times for my 3 g

    so in lat october i was in an acident which powned my 3gee. this was my blue 88 dx sedan. so for the passed week or so ive been driving my fathers 85 bmw 325e. today one of my friends called. he was also a 3gee owner and around the time of my acedent he wreked his 87 lx. So he called me and we devised a plan. he would sell me his lx for $400 and since his car had no damage to his frame and the car is structualy sound i would turn two dead cars into one not dead car. And so i bought his car. and i may need help on this project of the transplantation of the parts/working on the body. Ill have pictures up soon of both cars.

    Re: bad times for my 3 g

    well...my camera broke when i was going to take piks...but ill see if i can get you guys on the update. i got the hood mounted and the light houseing mounted and the front bumper. i took the trunk lid off both cars and went to mount the good trunk lid and learned that the 88 trunk lid doesnt fit on the 87...fml....an so i put the old one back hping i could get it to latch after all the boddy work had taken place and low and behold it wouldnt do it so i duck taped it down and decorated the crap out of the trunk lid w/ said duck tape just for fun.
