hello to all my name is ant! within the last month i purchased a msp and am loving it! just having to fix a bunch of problems the think he wants to be a mechanic previous owner inflicked on the car!

1. when he installed the front mount he cut the whole center section of the bumper out with a drimel!! :'(

2. exhaust but thanks to lara i will have that here soon! (she has been the biggest help in the world!!!)

3. he j.b. welded the wastegate shut so his pos boost controller would do it all! (braindead(braindead

4. he spray painted the beautiful yellow hood with cryalon black!!!

5. then put plumber pipe cuplers on it for the intercooler piping!

6. hacked up the wiring harness.... just fixed that!

7. tried to jimmy rig the entire car for the most part!

so yeah if i ever meet this guy..... you guess what i am going to do!!! (gun)

so anyone with a hood front bumper custom or stock...please let me know!!!

Ant

wow. I hope you got a great deal on that cause it look like it is going to take a lot of work to get it looking good again. best of luck to you
 
tried to buff it a little and it is taking the yeller right off :( yeah found out the guy is from milton florida about 15 miles from me... so there is a chance he might be a member of this site so everyone keep some eyes open so i can show him what a f'ed up job he did on the car! i think i am going to do some fab work on the hood i got and see if i can make something unique! if not there is always a cf hood somewere i can buy!!! working at a welding fab shop does have its perks!

and thanks for the props orlandomsp! hoping to get the yeller taxi up to par soon!
 
wow i did not expect the whole bottom middle to be missing. i just thought it was hacked in the back where you couldn't really see it. thats is just stupid
 
wow sad, when i got my MSP alot of parts were put on wrong, but fixed all the ones i found so far, hopefully i dont keep ending up finding them
 
and just found out the kid jb welded the side motor mount together too! new motor mount $145, bottle of alieve to help the pain $5, punching stupid people in the face for working on car when the shouldnt even be working on a bicycle.... PRICELESS!!!!! for everything else there is msp!
 
How the heck is boost regulated without a working wastegate?? Must have got tired of replacing wga's or didn't feel like doing it the first time.
