Cant wait to see the your car when finished.

Good luck with the repairs.

No offense to you bud but I was deployed to Kuwait in late 09 and the way everybody drives it is no wonder things like this happen. That is a lot of damage for speed bumps. I saw one guy in the far left lane hauling A$$ and then all of a sudden decided he needed to get off the highway at the exit ramp like NOW LOL. Cut through 4 lanes of traffic by the soccer stadium and made everybody slam on their brakes.

Tell me why do people just leave the totaled cars on the side of the road? Doesn't somebody come and pick them up. It was an eye opener driving there. Good luck rebuilding it, I hope that it drives as good as it did before the accident.

In this picture the guy is welding a metal rod to support the chassis before he start taking off parts he need to replace so that the factory specs and measurements don't shift....

I can't believe nobody has asked this yet... not sure how it works in Kuwait, but why were you doing 65 mph where there were speed bumps? Doesn't that mean you would have been in a residential neighborhood... doing 40mph OVER the speed limit?

I must admit that all of your parts look awesome, and the rebuild is going to be sick, but all in all, I guess the damage was deserved because you were driving recklessly...

I could be totally wrong here though, just wondering. In my neighborhood, if you are caught going 65, that's automatic jail time for reckless driving. and almost definite license suspension.

Wow. Maybe no one asked because WE aren't here to judge... We're here for the "project in progress"...

I'm not judging. I said that I could be totally off. Just wondering. I've seen kids killed by cars speeding through residential neighborhoods. I'm 19, and it's one thing I just can't stand. I was almost killed walking my dog when two SUVs decided to street race on my street, one car in the lane designated for cars coming the opposite way...

Man did your chassis take a beating!

I'd hook it up with a roll cage since you're at that stage
