Default 00-1428 is Back on the road!

Hey guy's, I'm new to this forum, but I've been a lurker for years. Just thought I'd let ya know that 00-1428 is back on the road. It was "stolen" from 'batmobile' back on the 23 of Jan this year. After an auction in April it managed to find it's way up to Austin from the salvage yard and I acquired it on Wednesday! I've been on ClubRSX and ClubSI for years so I'm glad to be joining you guys.

The car is running fine for those of you who'd like an update. It'll get a good clay-baring this weekend!

I believe he is saying the car originally belonged to this guy.

Exactly! It was his, the reason behind the " " was because it was never technically "stolen" from what I understand. It's funny though, I found that thread by searching google for the VIN. :D

I'll get some pics taken in the next few days... wanted to get some of the grit off the paint before I started. It took me half an hour of claybaring the spoiler to get it smooth this afternoon! Maybe I'll take a pic of both my black bitches in the garage tomorrow!

How long do I have this noob status??

Nickster: Great to hear it's on the road again!

I do miss 00-1428 every now and then.

Sounds like it's in good hands.

Yep, I got it from him, but my patience paid off and I got it for 10.5.

Took some pics last night. Spent a couple hours on Saturday claybaring it, and polished it up with a buffer for a few hours yesterday.


Brotherly love:


Packed in the garage:


Nice and shiny:
