Might be a bit pre mature but......
I bought Aubree her first car! Sadly it was in poor condition and since we wanted a older model that seems to be very hard to find we decided to take this one!
So it's a ex police car . But that doesn't bother us any ! So about the car it's a 07 srt8 !!!! It runs and drives great ! A bit fast for her but she will get used to it!
It's even got brembo brakes on it!!!
I payed $69.00 for it and I had a 2 hour round trip to get it!
So the name of the game is to rebuild it and make an exact clone of my 07 superbee or close to it since my car has one off parts on it!
So we started tear down right after we got it !!
We removed all the police decals first,then removed the CB radio in the car, assessed the damage to the body and made a list of parts that we need!
Then we pulled the seats to look for build sheet !!! Nothing!
Oh well.
So we're done for the night . tomorrow we're going to remove the police light bar and the scanner radio too! The push bumper was missing when we got to the car so we need to fill those holes along with the light bar holes !
So the tail lights and head lights are all busted out ! (Must of been a rough area this car patrolled)
And the chrome on out rims is pitted badly! No problem as we were going to paint the wheels black anyways!
The head light and tail lights will be hard to find ,I might need to make replacement s!
Any thoughts on heat molding plastic?
Oh and lastly the gauges are all trashed need to decal faces! But that's easy enough!
Well enough reading here's some pictures!
