My son is a member of the "Toaster Mafia". He's on a forum like this and has been inspired to put about 2 grand in mods already. And I think they bend the A pilllars to meet the roof. I'm sure it depends on the vehicle you are dealing with.

I'll text him. Clubxb.com Is it a manual? I think that makes a real difference in small cars like that. Damn thing is no longer than my wifes Miata but you could almost jam a 4x8 sheet in it.

Used to be manuals were good for a few more mpg but I noticed that isn't true anymore. For the Japanese cars my wife was looking at anyway.

DAMN you bought that thing? You must be pretty confident that you can rebuild it huh?

How about chopping the back door area?

This is what I'd want it to look like when done





Although I am diggin being able to still use the back doors in this one




How long do you think it would take to do either?

What about the glass?

hoo the first one is sweet
chopping glass is kinda tricky u have to pour water on it as u grind it and still crossing ur fingers while doing it mouhahahaha

as for rebuilding the one i bough if u look at the pics the bumpers brackets arent even bent and no pieces of the engine had been damaged...
fenders,hood,bumpers,windshield little bodywork and paint.... maybe a thing or 2 but thats all,i spoke whit the guy who sell it and he got a really good feedback on ebay so...
i will clear easy for 6K when done and here those sell for about 18K for a 2006 so maybe il do an easy 10K$ or end up giving it to my wife
