Need help rebuilding Dustins Recovered Coupe!
OK as most anyone who reads this section knows some sorry pieces of shit stole this car a a couple weeks ago, i am not getting into the details but this car was most likely on its way to the scrapyard with no other hope. Cant have that can we! hell no.. Its pretty much jacked the hell up and all we were left with is a bare rolling shell thats been trashed even further with some sort of industrial stripper. So after a few phone calls by some friends we managed to convince dustin to let us get his car from the tow lot and try to get it back into shape. Keebler, Richard and a few others are offering up the labor, there were quite a few needed items already sitting around the shop (SS Automotive) that will help kick off the rebuild but the response is just a day from the community has been unreal! people have been hookin us up with parts left and right to get this goin so here is the list of whats needed and what we already have. PLEASE if ya got any of this stuff layin around and would like to help let me know!
What we have to work with at this point (will update as parts come in)
d16z6, trans, p28, misc wiring, much of the interior, sideskirts & misc body parts (ss auto has a wrecked EG 4 door thats giving up alotta useful parts)
misc needed turbo parts, tuning! (thanks Matt Shue!)
set of older tsw wheels (thanks Tim!)
walbro 255 (thanks Bruce!)
FMIC, Mirrors, corners, strut bar, earl filter, and paint work (thanks Marcus!)
lowering springs & earl (thanks Pip @ Adrenaline!)
package tray, tails, rear interior panels (thanks bmw-m!)
Even a cople local shops are helpin with this. i spoke with Kyle @ RPM today and hes hookin the car up with an alarm system to hopefully help prevent another theft and hopefully i can talk him into some tint as well I also spoke with Pip @ adrenaline autoworks and he asked me to please get him a list of what we need asap so i am confident they will hook us up with some of the needed parts! Any other shops are welcome and encouraged to help out any way they can!
Here is the needed list witch is sure to grow quickly
obd1 vtec engine harness <--- ASAP!!
some sorta suspension? we have springs but need struts swaybars?
tires for 15" wheels
front and rear bumper covers
passanger side or even better a matching set of fenders got a solid lead on these.
hood (have a lead on a CF one but not a done deal yet)
misc rubber for the body (damaged from solvent)
headlights & tails w/ sides and turns. (everything) we have the tails now
misc chargepipes
ANY d series stuff
clutch kit
axles
hell anything else ya got that may be useful
A post like this is worthelss without pics so here are a few to get ya an idea of the mess he was left with
How it looked when it got here.

wow the progress is looking good. i think you guys are doing an amazing thing for him. im an underfunded teen but if there is anything that i can do let me know. have you called woofin for some of the body parts? i know they overcharge on everything, but if you explain the circumstances maybe they would donate some things, they sure do have a bunch of stuff sitting in that yard...
