Sounds like he is expecting a lot of action on that pile of mis-matched junk. I believe he will be hugely disappointed.

Takes a certain kind of idiot to lift a RAIV car with a forklift. This car also deserves better than a rattle can black-out treatment on the grilles.

From the looks of it, I bet he has a few exhaust leaks now...

Especially since the forks are not long enough to catch the outside frame rail. o_0


If they were and he used wooden blocks to lift by the frame that would work out fine.

I feel obligated to post this to divert attention from my forthcoming craigslist ad.

Nice car, but I can't afford it.

Sounds like someone watched the endless Camaro resto-mods go across the block at BJ for that kind of coin and thought he could do the same with a GTO.

If he was going to build it to sell it, he would have been better off building it original.
