I went to the auctions, and rescued a decent Bolt Reptilia. This thing is rough, but repairable.
It came up onto the block with a $7361 starting bid  And I took it home for $16861. Totally broke It sat in my garage, until I had enough to fix her up  Took it out to see what was broke, and it ran right from the auction. The power was immense! Compared to most of the shitboxes I'd been driving, this was a breath of fresh air, err, rather rusty dust.   Then I took some around the car shots     So, I stripped her down to bare bones      I used the workbench to repair what I could, and rebuilt the suspension and engine, (wish I could convert it to the dual carb intake, but whatever)        Then I gave her a super sexy paintjob. Little Red Corvette!    And so ends the Bolt. They say I can sell it for a cool $57,087, but I'm not gonna sell her anytime soon. I saw this thing start bid at 11 grand, and sold for WAYYYYY more then I would have every paid for it   Then, my next project rolled across the block, and I bought it, mostly because of the price.  $747 is 5 bucks more then what I paid for my irl car. The final price was $2,247  But, my shop is currently full of generic hatchbacks wanting timing fixes and oil changes.
