The Blue cars front end is skewed by 2" to the drivers side. After the yellow car is complete the blue car will be repaired by a body shop.

oh, I know that blue car. Saw it on myspace. It has been to quite a few of the old portland 510 meets.
it is too bad you are getting rid of the car, well cutting it up.. I wouldn't mind checking out those wheels if you are getting rid of them.

I plan to put all the things I need from the blue car on to the cage car. Then Have the Blue car straightened by a good body shop. Its a matter of rob to repair and then restore the victim.
I gues its a Double build.
An Idea doesn't work unless you do.

Well most of you wont like my choice of 4cyl. But I have a 2.3 Duratec out of a mazda 3 for the Cage car. But the Blue will keep the L16 that is in it. I have a set of 550lb nismo spings for the cage car (rear), a set of Adjustable TC rods, and Control arms. I want to go Coil over in the rear, but budget says "maybe springs are better". We will see. Im going to do a disc brake conversion on the cage car.

The blue one with the crazy paint came from Portland and seems to have been local to portland for the past 10 years.
The colorful yellow car seems to be from california and was sold only a few months ago out of a garage in eugene.

Once, long ago, a young apprentice asked the great zen master mike a question. "Master?" he said. "Does a horse have Buddha nature?" The enlightened one replied, softly, "Neigh".
