Back in 07 i purchased this car. a 1992 mx-3 GS i got it cheap but had extensive work ahead of me to make it drivable.
When i baught it i had to replace the following.....

brake lines
gas tank
Front lower cross member was missing.( motor sitting on the frame)
NO INTERIOR when i purchased it.
this means no door skins either....
lovely time at the wreckers getting a whole interior..... and learning how it all goes together..... yay me....
bad alternator..... was fried when i baught it....
tranny was screwed..
Only thing good about it it had the oem sides....... and a decent paint job....

called all the wreckers... no one has and the ones who do want to sell the bumper/lip as a whole for between 150-250. I dont have the posts to post in the wtb section AND my old bumper had one but it was molded into the bumper... couldnt be salvaged the way i got hit just cracked and split it all to heck.

You should be able to post in the WTB section. It's the FS section that you can't until you get 30 posts and than get mod approved.

And so the polishing begins.
