What did you use to repair that console?

[Greenbird76]

The car looks really good.  Did you have to replace some portions of the frame rails or did u patch them with steel plate?  The sme question goes for the tail panel and inner tail valence.  The rear of my car looked quite bad also, but luckily everthing north of the rear wheels was in descent shape.  I used a donor car for all sheet metal and rear portions of frame rails except the actual tail panel which I bought from Ames performance.

I used J B Weld and then just sanded it smooth, it's not perfect but it'll do for now, but I'm not trying to win any shows...

Ok so I don't have all the details, but I know that they took the parts car (esprit) and cut what they needed off and put it on my car, I know they took the tail panel, quarters, inners, parts of the floor.  I'm not sure on the frame rails as mine weren't that bad, just the back were they meet with the tail panel was bad.

Car looks really good, it has come a long way. Are you going to reuse the GTA rims?

Cool I thought you might have by your profile pic but I wasn't sure. What are you doing with the GTA's?

[Jimmys77]

Dodgeram106 had asked the same question the other day and had asked if he could get them off me when I get the car back.  I told him he could have them for $100, so there his unless he end up not wanting them when I get them back. They need to be restored, paint is chipping off.
