theft recovery
The pics you posted were great inspiration. My GN will have a clean title..... but my car doesn't look near as clean as yours does.... no pun intended..... I hope one day for mine to be that nice. I am looking at having it painted before I do anything else. What type of wheels are those? If I paint it soon, I want to replace the current wheels with either refiinshed stockers.... or some GNX clone wheels kinda like yours. Where did you get them? How much for new ones? Are they 15" or 16"? What size tires are those? Do you like them? Is that basecoat/clearcoat paint? I also plan on tinting my windows. It really looks sweet.
Here are some pics from the day I drove it out of the barn it sat in for 2-3 years. Basically it has been sitting since 11/01 because it has "11/7/01 STOLEN" written on the windshield by the Houston police. I spent about 3 hours cleaning it up inside/out and in the engine compartment. I drove it down the road sitting on that 15" steel wheel you see in some of the pictures. I have ordered a fuel pump and a few minor things. I am still working on getting an interior from a local source parting a car out. Here is my project:

As you can see, there is alot to be done. I am looking at having it painted in the next month or so (I hope). I hope to have it back on the road a month after that. I hope it all works out.
Gn-ing said:My car was a theft recovery that I bought in 1996 from a local salvage yard in Columbus Ohio..The car was complete,except for wheels and tires and the radio..From the result of theft is needed a header panel ,a front fender,and a windshield. The car had several dents due to the thieves kicking the car. had 70,000 miles at the time.. I paid 5000. for the car,but remember,this was almost 10 yrs ago...anyway,I found some GN orginal wheels,and drove it out of the junk yard...and then,let it sit for 6 yrs. In 2001, I had it painted and tuned it up...i've been playing with it since,and have raced it several times...It's not perfect,and it has a rebuilt salvage title,but it is fun...
