    what a mess.

    Teardown is complete. Now it's time to cut and grind all the crap off the frame and to scrap / blast all the glue (they glued the carpet on) off the body...

    Because that would be too logical, and girls don't think that way.

    Because we can sell it for about $4000 and we won't be using ANYTHING on it and we wouldn't be able to sell any of it parts if we did take it apart. The body has too many dents too.

    I bought the tub and frame for $650. That's $3350 to spend on parts that I would be out if I started from Lynda's.

    Plus - the one I bought came with spare front axle parts, I can replace her broken shaft now. I also have a D35C shaft to sell. The body is in better shape also...

    Make since yet???
