Still Lookin

Went and checked out a Camo box today. 05 67k miles 5spd clean title 7800 bucks. pretty good deal and really clean car. on to the pics :D




Rear bumper was repainted at one point, the color matches but there's orange peel haha





Crazy clean engine bay





Small dent on the passenger fender.




Rock chips and small dent



So I really like this car, and consider it a potential. But the thing is, the car was owned by a dealership, then the guy that owns it now, it just driving it, but its still under the dealers name (his brother got him the car cuz he works at the dealers) but because of that I have to pay 9.3% sales tax bringing the total to like 8700. which is out of my budjet. But Im still considering it.

Random Stuff

Well, went and looked at a xB today. car was a 05 PW, 57k miles, 5spd, pretty clean. But after lookin at it there were some things I wasnt down with. On top of that the dudes story was hella shady, he's tellin me the car isnt regged under his name because hes only had the car for like a month or something, car dosent have tags because they wouldnt give them to him 'cause he dosent have insurance. So the car is regged under the original owner still, and has no tags. wtf? Lol. Anyway, on to pics.



Most of the car was clean, with the exception of the engine bay, and anyone who knows me, knows I HATE a dirty engine bay. haha





One of the biggest things I didnt like was the carbon hatch. It didnt close right, he had to try 3 times before it closed, and I just dont like carbon. haha



Also it has the JDM bB bumper cover. Nice right? Well underneath it was the OEM bumper cover, you know, the black one? Well that was painted over with white paint...Which leads me to believe the car was in a fender bender. So the hatch was replaced with a cheaper carbon hatch, then the bumper wasnt done correctly at all. The paint on the OEM vinyl bumper cover, wont last at all. Paint isnt made to stick to vinyl. haha.



That small scratch, or dent on the door sill also bugged me. haha



Interior looked decent, some scratches on the kick pannels, and the little tray above the glove box. I wanted the H/U though. It was like the 08 dealer option one, with some cool features.



Whats an xB without rock chips?! Hahaha. Ok I'm fine with rock chips, really. But rock chips that went to bare metal then rusted? No...haha







After that I ended up going to Julians to help him and Beto install some goodies. haha




I did this one :D haha







Always laughs with the HFD homies.




Tibo posing for me.



Then Tibo and I went and got some food, then will showed up, after this pic I left. haha

Start of a new Begining.

YUP! Went to the body shop and started pullin parts off the car. haha

Alberto and Julian called me around 11:30 while I was at work and said "were here, gunna start on the car" hahaha i was like wow thats early. Sure enough before i gotta outta work they were done with everything. i was blown away. haha. but they waited long enough for me to show up and say hi :D And thank them for there help. Seriously guys. Thanks SOOOO much u really helped me out, I owe u guys. HFD FTW!

After that pic julian and beto took off. then matt showed up to help me with what ever was left. and we were gunna switch tails



Kinda hard to tell whats going on here, but im trying to show u the extent of the damages. haha. its baaaad



Rack of parts :D




Matt and i started to take my tails off when i realized one of mine was chipped, and said whatever i can tint another set. haha. then he gave me his cuz he didnt want them. score. :D so we took the intake off and i hacked the exhaust tips off. Then matt wanted to switch rear drivers windows because his wasnt "toyota" and hes a perfectionist like that. (woulda bugged me too haha) so we did that, and pulled all the sub/amp wirring out too. Matt and i switched a few little parts somewhere in there as well. haha. Then we loaded up my car (well my moms haha) and left my car all alone. FOREVER!!! haa

Back home, unloaded the car.






Remember this? I had to keep it



My collection of memorabilia haha



Pics of tails. imma sell em. haha




THEN! I was trying to change a setting on my cam, and i accidentally made it go to black and white, and i have no clue this happened because my screne is broken and i cant see it! hahah so enjoy the rest of the b/l pics haha



All the parts i cleaned up.



got bored. hehe they may end up on here. lol




Yup thats my day! haha great day. thanks again to Alberto, Julian, and Matt for all the help. seriously guys. This is a setp in the right direction. The damage report is done, im just waiting for my insurance company to get it, go over it, and we'll go from there. should be soon! :O
