Project Budget Box
SO heres the story.... Sold my 11 sec eagle talon to buy a 300 dollar 1999 jeep cherokee with 35,000 original miles. bought it from the city of detroit so i knnew it needed a little work... needless to say i was excited on the way home from the auction house... it was storming and a pos dakota spun right in to my front end !
causing this...
I am an optimist and i had some money left over.. so i decided to fix it
