Okay so hear is the story. I have a buddy who is selling a 97 eclipse GSX, with a gutted drive train. so its pretty much a rolling body. The ball joint gave out on the right side on the car when he was driving down the road did a spin and crashed into a fence of some sort, and ****ed up the drivers side door. So it pretty much need a door and glass. The fender is cracked but it doesn't look too bad, but the strut tower on the passenger side does look slightly bent, but it could be replaced? Thats pretty much all that's wrong with it. I am not looking to have some fast and furious car but i wanna get a car and have a project car to work on for a year or two and eventually race it. he wants 200 hundo for it. so should i take it or just eff it?

 

any pics of the damage? i would personally get it for 2 hundred, but it will only be as good as what you rebuild it as. if you could get a new tranny and everything and fix it yourself it should be sweet in the end. DSM cars imo are pretty good, my favorite being the AWD turbo Eagle Talon

wrong section though lol, should have went into other cars

 

If the strut tower is bent then its a junked car. no thanks not worth 200

 

But is it worth it to buy a front clip then, those are not too bad, i was on a JDM site last night and there not too pricey

 

ahh Im really not on this thing a whole lot to know where to post things but now i know haha.
I do not have any pics, it was to dark out to take them on my camera phone. and yeah DSM are awesome. Im just still torn if i should get it or not.

 

is the interior and stuff still intact? i bet you could make more than $200 parting out stuff

 

eclipse ftl btw this is not maxima discussion... there is a section for other cars

 

always loved those eclipses.

in for pix

 

Im going Sunday during the day to take pics, I shall show! Is there a way i can move this post? Due to the fact people are upset that i posted it her due to my noobness!

 

a mod will move it if they see it or u can contact one of them, just go to the general discussion main page and scroll down u will see the people in the box and to the rite is the mods. just send one a pm im sure they will put it in the other cars section. and definitely keep us posted! keep in mind we are all pic ****** on here lol

 

indeed. especailly if its a GSX motor, larger turbo than the GST. im sure parting it out will get u quite a bit of profit, depends where u live though.

 

update? any pics?
