spudly13 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hey guys, as many of you already know my 510 was in a pretty bad accident a few weeks ago. After all the hassle they determined I wasn't at fault and uninsured motorists covered my car. So I got the call today that they are mailing me a check for 3,050$, So the hunt begins! I still have my car as a donor, looking for clean shells, rollers, or abandoned projects. At this point I don't have a problem dropping 2500 on a shell if its clean and worth it. I should have the cash either the end of this week or beginning of next week Could I get another runner for 3k? sure, but im taking this opportunity to try and get a cleaner car in the long run. let me know if you know of any, I check craigslist and ratsun pretty frequently, preferably somewhere in Washington, possibly Oregon, or maybe southern Canada.... Thanks guys! Link to comment

spudly13 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 4 door or 2 door ? Id go with either, i do like my 4dr but i could go 2dr as well, If it was a 2dr though, It kinda depends on whats all there, because obviously my doors and windows and such wouldnt work. Link to comment
