You are a magician.

[Raza]

Are you selling those Dragonball Z DVDs on Craigslist or something?

[2o6]

They sold you a car with garbage in it?

I got it out of impound for a friend of a friend. I paid the impound fee and he signs over the title.



This was all his shit inside. Kid is a total stoner.

That a boy, never miss a business opportunity.

I must say, Kevin, I'm very impressed. 

I have everything I need to do this (2 car garage, chain hoist/leveler, engine stand, jacks/stands, tools, pressure washer, etc). I should get into this for some more experience and pocket $$$.

I know this car. The woman slid on a bridge in town and messed up the front end. If I can get it for $500, plus say $1000 in parts, I can flip it for $4-5000.

4-5k for a 2001 firebird with well north of 200k kms?

It's a V8 automatic convertible with zero rust. $4-5k all day long. If I put another $1000 into the engine/transmission (all gaskets, valve job, seals etc) I'd put it up to $7000.

So you have two cars in inventory right now? Is the CR-V already sold?

Ok

[2o6]

Car is out of my hair!


Also, I hate people who bring others with them and only want to start shit.

I suspect that some of us here are that "other" person.

[2o6]

I've been dragging my ass on this car, but I finally started. The trans is out, and I did the rear main seal while I was down there. With class, I'm wayy busier so I have to work it in my schedule to work on it. Trans should go back in this week, and then I have to do the T-belt and water pump.

Does your CR-V have the picnic table?

[Cookie Monster]

The table under the false floor!

[veeman]

It's a cool thing.  I don't think it comes with chairs though.

[AutobahnSHO]

It DOES have a cheap bike rack!!   

[Rupert]

What? That's absurd.

[2o6]

- I do have the table.


- I got the trans in, the car drives and shifts beautifully now.
