    Default CRashed MY Baby today

    :evil:Well,to make a long story short.I got a little to happy o the throttle on the twisties going to my folks house in fremont.Didn't do alot of damage,But i hit a rock and bent the lowr frame a little.I will need a new lower frame(where the radiator lays),bumper,supports,oil cooler & lines,condenser and radiator.Do any of you guys know a good body shop around sac?Or do you guys think I should just fix it around here?

    Man that sucks!!! Sorry to hear man, that was the cleanest paint/body on a 90 I've seen too. Ah well, what good is a dsm if you can't enjoy it. Anyway, If its just the lower support and you have access to a welder, I would try it myself. Theres a pick n pull over in rancho cordove that has a few turbo 1g's. Pick up those parts for cheap. Might be too expensive for a body shop to repair all of it...Let us know what happens.

    I think the lower support is welded on right?so how would i take one fromthe junkyard?I also thinks i bent the front left chassis beam just a tinnie weeni bit,but enough to need it to be streched back out about 1/4 of an inch or so.That's why I will need a bodyshop.unless,you got one in your garage.lol.I am going to bring the car back to sac town probably next week.I gotta change the oil cooler lines since they are crushed,But all the other finned mechanisms are not leaking one drop,other than that it runs great.But yeah I was thinking of doing everything else but the frame work.So, what do you guys think,get a little more agressive front bumper and a starion intercooler?ORR just slap an used oem one back on and get a starion intercooler?all your oppinions are welcome.

    I'd just take a portable electric grinder and cut the mofo at the junker! As far as the bodykit idea...if you have to get any front bumper, you know which one I love. No other front facia looks as good as this one for the 1990-91!





    You're my hero if you get that on your champane car!

    Well I went to M&S and got my oil cooler today,no oil lines though.The stealership wants 110 and 120 for the oil lines,their on crack.I got a starion front mount with side exits on the end tanks for 70 bucks.And i got the condenser in a bid that will end at the end of the week.The radiator i'm gonna buy new,but the oil lines i'm not.does anybody know where i can get these oil lines?m&s don't got em,neither does anybody around including upuulit.Another guy wanted 150 for a used bumper,whaaaa,right... The kit i was looking at costs that much.well anyways,just venting... I'll keep ya guys posted on my new project.peace out.

    cars in the shop.Was gonna cost 540,but it got boosted 250 because of a parts issue.This cancels my front mount installation,oh well,ill just keep the fmic for future use,i don't need it installed yet anyways.

    Lines for an oil cooler?

    I just threw the hedge trimmer in there to mess with your head.
