So the original plan was to make this a non-seq car and drive it around as a beater for a while until I decide to go all out and go single. Well turns out the motor had other plans for me. A coolant seal definitely went and it was time for a new motor.



So at this point I was sort of at a cross road. Is this car worth spending money on? Of course not. Common sense would dictate that I try to sell the car to some unsuspecting newb buyer but I couldn't. If there is one thing I lack, it's common sense.

Here is my busted fender!


It's a bit hard to see in pictures but the car came with a good amount of rust on both doors and it looks as if it has been side swiped or it tried to squeeze into some area that was just to small to fully accomodate the car.

Sorta like this maybe...


As for the huge dent in the rocker panel, maybe during a car chase, jalopy made a quick left turn to escape the cops and jumped a curb in the process like this!

This would explain why the car was so extremely misaligned! I steering wheel had to be turned almost at a 45 degree angle to drive straight!

Maybe the car then proceeded to head first into the back of an SUV to cause this wonderful damage to the bumper!
