Default i came up!!! free skunk2 suspension.

so i been putting together this recovered theft 98 gsr sedan. my buddie who works at my old towing company calls me and tell me he is picking up a 94 gsr sedan for junk. he asked me if i wanted it for parts. he told me to give him $150 (what he would of got for scrap) and he dropped it off. long story short. the kid registered the car last dec. smashed it soon after. it sat in another tow lot. at the tow lot they stole the head and ecu. the tranny had a huge hole in it where i can see the gears

but anyways, to my suprise, when he delivered the car, it had alot of aftermarket **** still on it. it had skunk2 pro s one piece coilovers, skunk2 upper control arms/camber kit, skunk2 rear camber kit, skunk2 lower tie bar, skunk 2 rear lower control arms. it also has a greddy cat back exhaust, jdm 4-1 headers, removeable steering wheel, faded/ripped type r interior, jl auido componets in the front lj 6x9's in the rear.

the car itself was mangled. but i needed alot of the parts for my sedan. i ended up taking the acura webb rims because i had mitch mached steelies. the 4 doors. my doors had been hit before and where kinda wavy. the new ones had the moldings shaved but where clean.

the only down side is the car seems like it was sitting in a puddle or something. everything is kinda rusty. i got some sand paper, some CLR and other cleaning stuff. i may paint everythnig red and black.













car that was mangled




got my goors. i am gonna primer the doors and front end for now

i am working on the coilover bodies now. they are comming out alright. they might end up getting painted black. i dunno where the car was sitting but everythnig was rusted to hell. when i was trying to take the wheels off i broke all the wheel studs. CLR is working wonders for me. as far as the springs themselver i will hit them with my air powered wire wheel. ill def post pics
