might rebuild my car!!

[Chet Mo and the Camaro]

well guys this is all that needs to be replaced:
hacth glass, carpet,hood,spoiler

this is what is happening:
buying the car back for 420 bucks, it will still have a clean title if and when i buy it back, i know a guy who has an auto restoration shop and has done some work for me for cheap, he rebuilds totaled cars!!
my guesstimates:
i get 6200-250(deductible)-420
so i will get 5500
paint(probably a blue) 2k
damages: 2k
and i have money left over

do you think it will be worth it, and when i sell the car i have pics to show what happened and that it wasnt bad!

also thinking about MAYBE s/c it, there is 107k mile on motor how much strain is a s/c gonna put on it!

[Chet Mo and the Camaro]

[vanbibber]

[Chet Mo and the Camaro]

you can pick up a nice lt1 with 60Kish miles for 6-7k. im just an idiot who impulse buys. prices stop me from nothing.

Or you can put 4k down on a loan, for an El Es Won. You should be able to find decent milage ones for around 10-12k.

Then take the money left over and get a heads and cam package. Your payments will only be around 160/month and you'll be sporting a low 12 second Fbody.

ls1=using more gas, too much on insurance, me hauling major *** everywhere, and i CANT afford a note, and if so i small one maybe!!

[shenanigans]

This car just needs a hood, hatch, and interior?

and your getting it for $420?

buy it back. junyard hood, junkyard hatch, junkyard interior.

YOu could probably bet the car as good as it was before the wreck(maybe better) for like $1200

$1620 if you incude cost of car.


**** next hurricane I am parking under a tree!

Actually, an LS1 will get roughly the same milage as your V6. Insurance will be a ***** though [img]redface.gif[/img]

Get yourself a nice foxbody mustang. :D

well the only ls1 i could look into would be a 98 probably... the truck is my moms and i am under that on the ins. so my new car will be under her name! if i can find one on ebay in houston area or close to me then i can drive and check it out b/c they go pretty cheap on ebay...!!!
