Hi Peeps... Yes.. I'm back... but with bad news. Before I start explaining, let me tell those who don't me, you can read about my car here:
http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6255 Anyway, I just wanted to say that I have to sell my car. I had an unfortunate event the day after Thanksgiving. I rear ended a S500 on my way home from Black Friday shopping. Rather than putting anymore into this car than I already have, I think I'm at that age where I need to just move on. It's really breaking my heart to type this because I've had this car since 1994 (I'm the original owner), and was hoping to keep this car as a WIP Project car till I grow old. But I really should just hand her over to another enthusiast who will be willing to take good care of her as well as I tried to do. How bad was the damage? In my eyes... bad enough relative to how much I spent on the GT-FOUR hood and the Varis body kit. When I collided with the person in front of me, the front bumper crumpled, headlights (except for the passenger-side lowbeam) cracked to pieces, and the GT-FOUR hood folded. Fortunately, the front fenders didn't get damaged at all. Some internal parts got damaged as well, (i.e. the radiator and POSSIBLY, NOT CERTAIN the heat exchange for the A/W Intercooler). The windshield is cracked from both airbags getting deployed. I got rear ended by a big rig last year, so the Varis rear bumper is cracked, but still repairable. The front bumper on the other hand isn't. From what I can tell, the Celi is still repairable. The amount you'll spend will more than likely be less than what I spent on all the body work, the motor, motor installation, WIRING, etc. I'm planning on taking pictures some time this week. What sucks is that I had just bought new tires about 3 weeks ago, and got new brakes in August. Anway, again, I feel really crushed right now because I spent over $10K on this car since I've owned her, but a lot of time, effort, AND LOVE into her... but feel that it's best to just let her go. If you are at all interested in buying her AS-IS to either repair, or salvage the parts for a motor swap, feel free to post here, PM me, or email me an offer. My email is rayf@illmaticonline.com A very sad Celi enthusiast, Ray This post has been edited by kuya1284: Dec 5, 2005 - 2:56 PM |
