Geez man that sucks.. I remember the hatch from way back, sucks to see its fate.

[iheartJDM]

yeah it does suck, but i have a new hatch now so its easier to part with it. i can look forward to building the new hatch and actually "do it right" this time around

[chaser]

LOL, I feel your Pain man... When I sold my eclipse that I had done everything except suspension work on it to a local guy for $5k (the motor cost me 2k, and the sound system itself was around 3k not to mention body kit, paint job, wheels and tires, and all the other random goodies) but he tried to race some guy down a dirt road and busted the oil pan, cracked both front wheels, and knocked off the bumper and drivers side fender. Then he turned around and sold it as it sat for $4500 to another local kid I don't know where it is now.

But it does suck to see all your hard work and money end up in a worse place...

[Skoodles]

[Magnus]

I figured. I was just giving ya shit.
Yea, sucks to see your baby end up someone elses bumper car. :(

[Matticus]

Chase, do you have any pictures of that car? I just pulled a motor out of a burnt Orange 1st gen eclipse that had a ton of audio crap in it at one time.

[Vanessa]

That's just awful :(

Hah, that'd be interesting. I thought he said he bought from the guy for only a few hundred though? so if that's true then it's seen a few more owners since the crash, the dude lied about sellin' for 45, or i'm just wrong about what wes paid for it.

[chaser]

lol, it was the ONLY burn orange (actually the same color as the new chevy burnt orange) with a bunch of audio crap in it.

It had a 4G63T with the smaller turbo, TD-03 I think?

At times when I'm at a red light and someone has a half ass stereo turned up and they think its loud, I think back to the days of kknocing other peoples rear-view mirrors off at redlights... ahh those were the days...

[Matticus]

Small world, I just pulled the motor out of your old car HAHAHAHAHA The motor is in a better place than where it was. It has a new home in a 95 gst. If you want your old car back, I may be able to get it for about 200 or 300 bux :rotfl:

BTW Steven, I'm not talking about Wes's 2g we are talking about the 1g he bought that we swapped into his red 2g.

Yah, i know, the one sittin over on towards his pasture, that has all the interior gutted. To me he said he bought it for only like 700 i think, or well that's the cash he had so it might've been a lil more or a lil less.

Yea, who ever owned it before Wes ripped the whole back of the car out. There are still some goofy looking kick panels up front though LOL I'm not 100% exactly how much he paid.

I will take some pictures sometime and post them, just to show you what your car amounted to. Pretty sad to see one of your old cars all broke down, beat up and not running. I know the feeling.
