I sold this car back in 2008 to a friend who maybe had it for a month before he wrecked it. He doesn't have the funds to fix it up and I wasn't going to let him dismantle it and part it out. I decided to purchase it back for a fraction of my selling price and give it the TLC that it really deserves.
They beauty of it all is that another friend has since purchased it from me; he is now in the midst of fixing it up. Here are some shots of the progress. Starting this thread so I can put together a time line of events, plus to reference and reminisce about the whole story with friends. Tim, if you ever read this, thanks for the $500.00 Supercoupe!
So far, we've had to replace
Sub Frame
Front Suspension Parts
Power Steering Rack
ABS Sensor
Intercooler
Motor Mounts
Radiator Support
Bumper Assembly
Header Panel
Headlamps
Cornerlamps
Fenders
Splash Guards
Radiator
Fan Shroud
EGR pipe
Ignition Switch
Cam Sensor
Hood
Miscellaneous hardware
The worst of it's done; we finished the welding and grinding last night. Now we are tackling the wiring and putting all of it back together. We tried turning it over but we’re not getting fuel, even after jumping the eec-iv connector. Looks like we might have to visit the fuel tank, ugh….
****UPDATE - The fuel problem was just a ground wire.

Kasey the Cook (Super delicious fuel while working on the bird) I didn't even know I had this in my cupboard, you rock!
