I heard about an old and SEROUSLY abused RS200, and I'm heading to check it out. Got the Vandura by the way... The fool put nice rims inside offroad tires. plan on lowering it back to normal, but keeping the rims, and changing out the tires. Gonna make it FAST and look good.

Turns out the RS200 is V6 swapped with a GM 3.6 LY7 engine. She was in a bad accident on a country back road. Upper tie rod broke and the car jerked to the right and flew off the embankment and met a dirt mound, skipped off that and hit a tree. The guy got whiplash, and a fractured tibula. He decided he wanted to sell it. I picked it up for 5 grand. What a steal, especially for that car. Its gonna be expensive to fix all the bodywork though. As I was towing it home behind the Vandura, I saw a familiar R31 SCREAM through the yellow light. I'm just sitting there like, "Jeez, he's gonna hurt himself." Anyways, here's the car after I got it home. I also asked my buddy to sand and paint the Vandura, so I don't have it right now.








{30 minutes later}

Got the bodywork stripped away and sent off to my buddy to fix it ($4,000)



Also, found the culprit, missing tie rod.



{2 days later}

Got a new tie rod ($200} and fitted it. Took the car for a test drive in the parking lot, and that thing is a ABSOLUTE ROCKET!







{1 week later}

Got my body work back, and I gotta say, it looks GOOD





Also got the Vandura back. The brown suits it. I sent it off to Street Supersports outside of East Valo to get a new engine and suspension fitted. The owner insisted I get a rollcage and new seats for all the power. It's got roughly 490 hp with dual 4 barrel Weber carbs. My buddy on Sunny Ridge Road at Venom Bodyworks put the chrome bits, bumpers and mirrors and such, in the back so they didn't get dirtied by bugs or anything on the trailer.









{15 minutes later}

I got the chrome bits fitted, and that is one BADASS Vandura.

I experimented with speakers... I like how loud it is. Had to remove the rollbar... oops. Welded the side door shut, and already blew out both rear windows, Gonna get louvers instead of glass xD I now need to pickup another shop vehicle :D
