Here's my crashed Jetta


Thanks to dxg, who towed my dead car home. I decided to check the damage...


The whole thing collapsed. Rear tire was busted and engine had fallen off. I stripped it's parts and sold them, and then I sold the chassis to a junkyard.
So, I took the Cadriftlac for a spin, see if I can find anything new, and I saw something abusive.


It's a Skyline R31. Poor thing. At first, it's owner denied to sell it to me, but money works magic kids. So I towed it home decided to see how well the engine performed.

Half of it was missing. I had no idea what I was getting into. So I decided to strip it, remove the broken muffler and lift it up.

I removed the tires, only to reveal some custom shocks and springs.

I'll keep the shocks and the springs. Then I removed the whole suspension system and sold it, along with the broken body parts.

I fitted in new suspension system and brakes, and completed the engine.

It's a twin turbo engine, with super high RPM camshafts and new air filtering system.
Then I found a donor car for parts. It was a literary unsaveable Skyline. So I took it's fenders.



Then I took it out for a spin at Akina's Downhill.


And on the way home, I found an abandoned door


Added 2 hours 32 minutes later:

So a shop was giving away it's stuff, since it was closing, and that's how I found the last parts missing.


I primer'd the chassis and the parts. The car is now read for painting.


I decided to paint it red.


I fit the parts back in, and now this is my daily driver. But then, I found this VW Rabbit MK1 chassis sitting on a junkyard, and I was really wondering if it would be a better idea to make it my daily driver. Oh well, long story short I bought it, restored it, and now I'm trying to decide which one would be better for a daily driver.









Meanwhile, my Lotus Esprit chassis arrived! I won it from an auction on eBay! I began work on it, and kinda copied dxg's idea with the exhaust pipes...


Yep. I took the wheels from the Cadriftlac and put them in the Esprit. Unfortunately, the 2JZ didn't fit in.

So, this is how it is right now. It has no engine, and I'm waiting for my Devil's V6 engine to be delivered. Also:
