I think it would take me a few years to learn how to bend the pipe let alone build a whole car. haha

sick pic though.

Yea, Wes is pretty ambitious. Buying a pipe bender and welder does not make you capable of building a car! lol

ill throw this out there once, you do have a CAD monkey at access that can draw up details and such that would make it easier to build a chassis hahaha

Yoo guyth are tho thilly...

No tube frames or 2JZ's in my P5. However, Josh and I worked out a deal and I'll be getting his P5. I'm so very excited! I just need to pay it off ASAP. So no monies for mods for a couple months.

 

[ajkulish]

if youre interested in your silver being your dd would you want to trad for a couple of my dented panels so i could make my project look pretty? i need a pass side fender and a silver oem hood if you got it...

I might just part out the silver P5 so you can have the fender and hood. But my hood has some rust. But the fenders are good. And don't forget about that $50 spot, mate. heh-heh.

Not so fast my brotha! I got dibs on that silver hood.
So, since you are buying Josh's car. Does that mean that there will be some parts swapping going on soon?
EDIT, on second thought AJ can have your hood, I want Josh's hood since you have the CF hood. Shoot me a PM on the price.

I need a strut thingy for the rear hatch, I don't think I can do much else

 

[Josue6WGN]

I'll be parting out most of the aftermarket stuff, then Evan can part out body panels and anything else he'd like. We're still working out the details...stay tuned!

Those are pretty cheap from your local parts store. I wouldn't mess with used ones. Not worth the effort.


Not to take anything away from Evan's part-out effort. I'm ready to help him with whatever he needs to do. Just some parts are too easy to bother someone IMO.

 

[bikingpro5]

Lewis glad to see you found your rust free shell to build your car with. I think that someday i will have to do the same thing in order to keep my P5 on the road since it lived a few hard winters on the road.
