And I own it. I have to go pick it up Monday. After fees and whatnot, I paid $770 for the car.

Im after the k sports, wheels and tires, cross drilled rotors, some interior stuff...and just pray the motor and trans are good. I might find some other neat stuff...have to wait and see.

I second mooneggs comment, do post up what you manage to salvage from that MX3.

Engine will probably be good, the only part of the engine that looks like it would be damaged is the front cylinder head since it's aluminum it might be warped.

If the rims aren't bent, that and the money for scrap you'd get for that frame would get you pretty close to what you paid for it so I'd say it's a good purchase.

I remember someone making b pillar bars years ago that bolted up in the same way, I believe powdercoated too, don't remember any offered by corksport though.
