This is a 88 that I had done work on before. It was in really great shape. The owner had just rebuilt the head complete and new seals and water pump!!! He hit a Dodge neon at 50MPH. The engine was pushed back to the firewall!!!! The motor mount strut got ripped away from the block. The top of the tranny got ripped away from the mount. The steering column came up into the dash about 3".
Lucky driver got out with only a cracked rib!!! The drivers side door still opens a closes fine. THESE CARS ARE SAFE!!!!
I have the pistons and dme if anyone wants to convert to higher compression durning a rebuild. I also have the rebuilt head. The timing belt did not break, so the inside of the engine survived intact. The tranny, I will pull the gear set and sell it. The case got busted on the top mount.

 

Looked nice, what happened?

 

Wow!

Dang... yet another valence I can't buy!

 

Todd... PM'ng you.

 

Wow...just continues to show me that these cars are built like brick $hithouses! Glad to hear he made it out with minor injuries!

I could be interested in the pistons and stuff.

 

Should post this to the "unsavory (944) picture thread".

 

Man if the 944 looked like that the Neon must be toast!!!

 

WHAT the hell?

I like how his nose panel is still attached after he hit a neon going 50 and the demolished, whereas mine falls off under normal driving.

 

Let the scavenging begin.

foglightsssssssssssssssss

These cars are seriously designed to survive nuclear holocaust. Ten times over.

 

ouch, that must have hurt.

 

tranny is shot. They get stress fractures from front end collisions, even if it works initially it will fail after 5K miles or so.

 

Looks like black interior! Hows the center console cassette tray thing. Ill take it if its black and in good condition! Miss ya todd!

Let me know how much you want for it!

 

These cars are awesome. The windshield didn't even break.

 

I'd ask about the brake booster, but that particular component may be questionable at this time!
