Here's a pic from the road, that open area used to be ~10ft tall brush.

Looks fine to me. Can you talk them into a cheaper price to get it out?

WindowsBreakerG4 · 11-25-2012, 05:42 PM

Maybe get your buddy to chip in?

My buddy's a broke dick, he's done what he can and feels super bad about it. He gave me the megasquirt setup out of his bimmer, so hopefully that sells. It's just a car, i have another one i'm working on at the moment, just kinda sucks that this was my daily.

Jerd · 11-25-2012, 09:57 PM

do you think the control arms lived?

crandandall · 11-25-2012, 11:06 PM

The right one probabpy, doubtful on the left. Send me a set of stock arms and i'll extend/box them for you.

slow240 · 11-29-2012, 02:31 PM

if it makes you feel any better i am recreating this with a friend of mine over here on the east coast.

My last two cars were killed by other people

I ended up with about 2.5" of lift up front and 2" in the rear. The front was adjustable, I could have gone higher, but the balljoints/tie rod ends didn't have enough articulation.

I say putting some plexi glass windows and fix the broken stuff and keep rocking it

haines1100 · 04-22-2015, 10:28 PM

I know this is from a quite awhile but I'm thinking of getting an 80' 245 and making it so it can handle a little off road. I'm dying to see the pictures from crandandall but I can't for some reason. Can anyone tell me where I could find some? Thanks!

Harlard · 04-22-2015, 10:38 PM

Looks like they are facebook-hosted images and the links got changed. Beat off if you PM him to give you a direct link to his album.

i'm sure this is an autocorrect fail, but it's still a great post.

Harlard · 04-23-2015, 02:18 AM

And it somehow still makes perfect sense!!

UglyWolf · 01-04-2016, 01:49 AM
