Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

So I bought a 93 prelude that is beat up pretty bad for like $500 and it runs but the radiator is crushed. We are towing it home and the wheel starts shaking really bad. Then the front left wheel comes off. I thought that something broke but nothing did. The lug nuts came off. The kid took off the rims he had on it and put on the stock Si wheels and didn't torque them down worth ---- because all of them were loose when I checked them. He said he torqued them down but I don't believe him. So I had to lift the back of the car up while my sister put the jack under the car as far as it would go because the car was sitting on the rocker. Where ever the jack was at I just started jacking it up. I found the old wheel that blew up in the wreck and put it under the car so I could put the jack under the front jack point. I called him up and had him bring me some lug nuts. Luckily he did because I know where that fucker lives. Plus a cop stopped and know what was going on. But it needs a lot of work to get into drivable condition. So to all the ----------ers that do some shady stuff you you might want to consider that you are putting other peoples lives in your own hands. What if that wheel came loose and I flew into on coming traffic? Just a little heads up to make sure you do things that are safe.

I don't get why the front wheel was a problem if you were towing it?

Re: Bought a car to day.
 

Tow strap. I was in the car steering it.

Re: Bought a car to day.
 

Yikes. Why didnt you check the lugs? I'm ---- retentive like that. I would've retorqued them, even if I saw him do it.

Re: Bought a car to day.
 

Yeah I know now. I don't trust anyone anymore expect the people I work with because I work at a body shop and I know what everyone does.

Re: Bought a car to day.

the nice seats it came with.

I fixed most of it and even added a 93 civic radiator that fit rather well. All I had to do was move over the top mount to the middle more and it was really snug. Oh and the connector for the fan was the same as the civic so it plugged right in.

---- yeah I did. I will sell it for like 3 grand when its done. I do body work so I can make a pretty good turn around on it.

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

what teg. I need pictures of it.

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

he sawzall'd it and threw it in the trash basically.

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

wow a whole car in the trash. crazy. I have fixed worse. This ain't ----. The only part I don't like about this is that they sprayed the jams with black bomb can and the whole car. The reason is I have to sand all that ---- off so I can paint it. But I think that I might just get some lacquer thinner and rub the jams and see if it take it off.

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

When I am done with that car you won't be able to tell whet happened to it.
<-------- Just look there.

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

Holy ----, that car is destroyed

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

The body isn't too terrible. New bumper, fenders, lights, and a crossmember that thing could be looking almost right.

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

damm that looks like crap. you planning on jdm front clipping that ---- or something? I seriously hope your not going to try to straighten it out. cut the front clip off and leave it for otto the garbage man.

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

Well I have to straighten the front out first then cut everything off and replace. I just have to get it to my shop.

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

The block out of that car got sleeved and is in a 11 sec all motor car now.

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

What a waste of a car. next time you decide to throw something like that away let me know. I hope you live in Colorado.

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

Arizona. The car was beat and I took everything I could off it. I didn't have a title either.

Nice. Glad to see it got a good home. :)

Well if there is no title then its junk. I went through that bull ---- before and ended up having to sell my RX-7 for $250 for parts. But it went to this guy that had a 350 in his RX-7. So it was ok.

Re: Bought a car to day. Now with PICTURES. 56K go kick some hot poop.
 

honda parts are relatively cheap especially bolt on panels.. once you pull it back to specs (rails) if there is damage there. and throw on a core support and used parts and get all that rattle can fixed up to a nice finish. looks like a nice project man. good luck to you where at in colorado do you live?
