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.
There's no 'I' in denial.
Nice, doesn't look too bad from the front angle either. That's a goofy looking roof rack though.
That should buff out, I'm thinkin'...![]()
Not that I had it right either

Jeff Spicoli: Hey man, just be glad I had fast reflexes!
Jefferson's Brother: My brother's gonna ****!
Jeff Spicoli: Make up your mind, dude, is he gonna **** or is he gonna kill us?
Jefferson's Brother: First he's gonna ****, then he's gonna kill us!
Jeff Spicoli: Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.
