Not sure the bumper would have help. looks like the contact point was well above the bumper.

I don't know about those wheels.
They look like they belong on a rice rocket tuner job to me.
But if you like them, go for it.

The owner was killing that car slowly, I think it was a suicide.

The rims...
The emblem relocated...
The "half up" wipers (well, that may be from the wreck)
The bumper thinglets...

In six to eight months it would have had chrome mirrors mounted on the front of the fenders and blue headlights.

Brad - perhaps this one is calling for you to resuscitate? ;)

Ha - not sure how to save it, cut it in half and weld another car to it?

I can't own another project right now regardless, sometime later this year I'd like pick up another Spider but it has to wait until I have space.

If he'd only installed Mark's Big Brake Kit, it never would have happened.
