jnec510 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 i think it would be easier if you told me what you looking for. i got alot of random stuff. Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Wow! You have saved other 510's in that condition. You are a 510 saint. Sadly, I have parted out cars in much better condition then that one. This was the most recent. I tried to sell it for quite some time but no takers. It did not have a title. So it became a parts car. At least it's parts are helping to keep other 510s on the road. Quote Link to comment

Thankfully I haven't had to go to that extreme yet though haha Quote Link to comment

Cesium Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Good job saving another poor old car. It'll be really interesting to see how much life you can bring into that thing. Almost looked like a skeleton out in that field. Quote Link to comment
