    I was told that it was almost whole & in very good shape. Now both front fenders, front bumper cover, grill, hood, at least one of the half shafts, airbox, steering box are gone. The vultures are picking it clean quickly so it was more valuable to the community that way. Interesting note is that the hood & both front fenders when to Proton owners - didn't even need to be painted. I might have to go back for the rear door, then strip down vt-mav's old one for the next vulture (it's still rattle can painted ... but looking pretty good so haven't quite decided).

    I didn't ask about buying it outright. Wifey wouldn't like me parting out a VX in the driveway. She said that I must have been born with the Sanford & Son gene in me.

    I takes a very special wife to allow these home projects. I have done it, my wife looses her parking space to these projects. My last two vehicles that died (250K+) were parted out in my garage. Praise to my sleeping wife....lol

    Just got a call from the body shop. The body panels arrived today. Gotta wrap up a few things here at work & get my tukkas down there to inspect them before they'll start the install.

    WOOHOO!!!
