looks like fantastic progress. It's good to see cars get saved from salvage yards.

Also: Do you have to be atleast 18 to buy a car in Texas? Because in NY, the local junkyard guy refuses to sell me a car (to be used in ice racing) because he says that I have to be 18. Is this some kind law, for liability reasons or something else?

Wow, awesome deal!

I was at the junkyard a couple of weeks ago and saw that BIG *** monster machine that literally rips the engine & tranny out a car. I was looking for a crx and happened to turn to see the life being wripped out of a poor CRX! Yea, it was sad, all I could do was watch.

Luckily you saved one so thumbs up for you!

Maybe you should work on your car in the driveway instead of the street car looks better, but its need to be lowered 4 sure.

Would the hatch fender work if you used a Hatch corner?
