- Wed Feb 23, 2011 3:07 am #240370 trading a brake line tuck, fuel line tuck, clutch line tuck, and wire tuck for

-2 del sol shells (1 without title)
-core support for my hatch
-fenders
-Headlights and corners
-rear driver quarter cut
-another tailgate
-fuel tank
-side mirrors
-heater core, a/c evap, and fan

Selling the shell with good title to another friend of mine for $400 and I will be able to keep the seats and the rear disc.

All I have to front is the money for the tuck parts but that is less than $400. Essentially just swapped a weekends worth of labor for a bunch of goodies!!!

I know its a little ricey but it came with that bumper and fenders. I put those mirrors on it because they were free and the ones on it were broken off. I bought the car with no motor or trans and was fully primered. At this point I have roughly $600 in it.
