Man sorry to see that, I am new here, but I like the grey car.  Glad your ok!!  I know how you feel about not being the same car.  I had a mustang 79, that I turned into a V8 car when I was 21, I had the car since I was 15, couple months after it was painted (I rode around a year in primer) a 16yr girl ran a stop sign and took off the front of car, nasty wreck.  Its crazy how we become attached to these cars.  Good luck with new build!!!

You didn't buy them, we traded. Geez............

Good looking engine though. I got out of the shiny stuff for a while. Time for me to get busy getting the shiny stuff back on.

Someone is gonna miss what appeared to be straight and decent quarters, fenders, floor pans, torque boxes and trunk pan, not to mention a relatively clean doghouse (front subframe).

Sucks about the car.  I'm sure the new one will be sorted in good time.

I hear ya on not having enough room to keep all the bits you like.  It's amazing how much more room a car that is in pieces takes up.  I stripped my wrecked Volvo pretty much down to nil.  Now I'm tripping over all the parts since I haven't had the time for them to find their way onto the other cars.

That is true about how much more room the parts take up! The first thing I do when I get into a new car is to buy a parts car ( or two!). They aren't bad until you strip 'em out.

I'm glad you are OK buddy. Also glad to see you are still hanging onto a cat.
