    I did that haul for about 200 miles. I kept it at 50-55mph. Of course, I was in pretty flat country so no big hills to climb. Being passed by big rigs (doing 70) was .... entertaining!!!

    And that's why you should never ever go to church boys and girls.
    There's no 'I' in denial.

    Well I posted on FB already but I can add a couple of pictures here too. I am going to need to replace the entire front radiator wall. I am going to see if Otwobme has what I need. I think the only other parts I should need that I don't already have are:
    Hood
    Grill
    Fan Assembly
    Bumper bar
    Passenger headlight
    Drivers inner door window seal squeegee thing



    I think if I decide to put an offroad bumper on my blue VX I could reuse the damaged front cladding on it and take the undamaged cladding and bumper bar off to put on the proton. Two dead birds.
    This one was definitely owned by smokers and even has cig burns on the front seats. Seats are in bad condition. Mileage is 156k. Window of course need help. Odd thing is both doors are slightly loose at the hinges but there is no easy way to tighten the hinges without removing the fenders. That will have to be done anyway when I replace the front. Some rust on the under carriage but not too bad and frame looks good.
    I already have the AC condenser/cooler assembly and it came with a brand new radiator. Has good tires but of course those peeling chrome rims. The roof rack is a Saris which I don't have the keys for, I'll have to try picking the locks. ABS light comes on and turns off after initial check so that's encouraging. Stock radio and speakers will be dealt with. Couple of dings here and there but all in all not too bad.
