Default My New 700 dollar rig




notice the front fendder





this corner is ok





looks decent here,





and a back bumper issue..the lady i got it from side swiped a deer btw




on a GOOD note, i got it for 700 cash, and the guy had just put new brakes all around, and the entire cooling system is new, as well as new shocks, (including the steering buffer). right before she hit the deer. now besides running, and driving which it does well. all the bling inside works, including the trip meter, auto climate controls, mpg estimater, steareo, and stering wheel controls ect. im currently fixing all the exterior damage, pics on progress soon.

All that damage would have made me want to take a sawzall to it and put on some mud tires and wheel the pee out of it. But I guess that's just me.

Grats on the sweet deal and that's another great find, too bad its out of stock. Check some good looking parts like on crown automotive parts for her great transformation, ex: http://4wheelonline.com/crown-automo...276.1499969.-1
