It would take a lot more work to clean up the car and a lot more money. Car needs paint, the side skirts are cracked, back bumper is cracked, interior is hacked, and the front radiator mount is bent to hell from being towed into the guys back yard. The last and most important piece is my GST is a 97 that I bought new in Sept of 96 and have no plans on getting rid of it.

Here is an update on the "Organ Donor"
Removed the drive shaft
Then took out the engine and trans. I didn't have a hoist or any help so I took the wheels off, lowered the car onto a dolly, unbolted the motor mounts and lifted the frame up so I could slide the engine out from the bottom.
Gas tank and rear sub frame were next
Next will be cleaning up all of these pieces, I want to have the rear sub frame powder coated, get the gas tank cleaned up (has two year + old gas in it) and get the trans checked out to make sure it is good.

WOW, didn't realize I hadn't updated this since July. Got a lot done so here are some pics
Before putting everything back in I had the sub frame powder coated and installed new solid bushings.
Hung the gas tank
Put the new bushings in the rear suspension and also added stainless brake lines for the Brembos
Mounted the rear diff and installed the axles

Also installed the drive shaft
Bushings changed out on the front suspension
New awd trans is in and doing a small wire tuck.
Currently I am working on relocating the engine bay fuse box to the glove box and bought new wheels to go over the Brembo brakes (just need to powder coat them Blk)
