I can't wait to see it done driving around here in Rancho.

 

so i was on ebay and guess what i saw, il give you a hint its a toyota and its in Rancho cucamonga, its white.

 

Dude, I'm all for flipping a car to make a buck, but it's pretty foolish when you are constantly bragging about your great deals on a public forum and then just a few weeks later it's up for sale. Why post it in the 1st place? Must like the attention I guess. Anyhow, just my 2 cents...



Corolla SPRINTER eBay auction



RX4 coupe eBay auction; now for sale by the next guy




.

 

Go see Rob and his dog spot

 

For sale already!

There was one of those but a station wagon 3 doors, at the local parts yard!

 

Not at all about the attention. The game changer on this car was when I put it on the street. I got the car running and driving and then drove it around for a few hours last weekend. F*CK that!!!! It's way too small and scared the hell out of me. It felt like it has no substance to it. Very Very small car. I almost got ran over by a Tacoma right here on Rochester. I thought about that and putting my Son in a car this small and decided it wasn't right for me or the family.

After that I put the Celica rear in the Rx-3 and started pulling the 12A out of it. I should have the Bridgeport in the Rx-3 this weekend.

This Sprinter was a great idea, but I'm glad I got it running and driveable before I dumped any more money into it. And if I was only about the flip on this car it wouldnt' have gotten a new radiator, new hoses, new front "Aerospace Component" brakes, 15x4 Centerline wheels and a few other parts.

But think of me how you like. I just wanted to set the record straight on this one. I still love you guys.

Oh and the guy who bought the RX-4 is a Marine Corporal who is getting deployed. Very Cool kid though.

 

^yeah, I noticed the eBay add said he was in Camp Pendleton. I used to be a Marine Corporal stationed at Camp Pendleton myself so I have some sympathy for the guy. One of my old Marine buddies still lives in Oceanside and has wanted an RX4 forever, so I need to pass this info to him.

We still got love for you too man, but you just make it too easy for us to bust your *****!!! Thanks for having a thick skin though because it's all in good fun!

BTW: I'm no big fan of those early Sprinter's anyhow, glad you're keeping the tre. IMO the best part of the car is the blank & yellow plates.

 

I know the heartache of deploying too bro. 4 years with 2nd Battalion 5th Marines then another 6 years with VMFA-232 and VMFAT-101 in Miramar. All good times, but alot of time away. Still don't regret one minute of it. Loved the Corps!!!!

But yeah I don't take offense to you guys. I get worse from the toyota guys. They pretty tired of me posting cars up for sale, but I tell them like this. I put my money out to save these damn things from various places that I find them. Then sell them at a fair price. I dont' gouge anyone and the car always leaves in better condition then I found it.

 

I'll mos definitely give you that man. You always ask a fair price for your rides, I don't see you trying to price gouge anyone and you do leave them better than you found them.

Mirimar? Man, I always wanted to get stationed there! I was in the air-wing at MWSS-171 Iwakuni and had the time of my life there. Did one year in Pendleton with Maintenance Battalion before getting deployed to Kuwait and then crossed the border into OIF1 on Feb 2003. Yep, I have more love for the Corps now than when I was actually in; crazy how that happens.

 

Drop me a PM when you junk... I mean sell the RX3. I'll take it...

 

There's guys running 7 seconds in the 1/4 mile in that car and your scared to putt it around the block? NO tienes huevos.

 

That 7 second car is a full tube chassis car and it's wrecked now. I figure you're talking about "The Clubman" right. Then there is a 9 second car right around the corner from me over here that has a full cage in it and doesn't see the street.

I'm talking about a car to put my family in and go to shows and beat around on the street. it's not a matter of ***** there guy. It's brains. And yeah I have enough of them to know it's not a good idea. Apparently you don't though not knowing the difference between a track car and a street car.
How would you put it then???

No tiene cerebros!!!

 

What!!!!!Now on Ebay!!!!I made room for you

Just playin Robert

 

Yeah I know bro.

Hey you gotta see my truck!!! My friend just finished the interior in it. Came out amazing!!! I'm taking it to get exhaust on Monday. I'll send you some pic's.

 

Are you talkin bout the Unibody Ford w/ the 460 in it...? If yes, That truck is clean...! Post some pics...

 

Calmate, I was just busting your heuvos.

But on another note, if you bought that car in the first place for a family car then I would say tu no tienes cerebros!!!

 

Yeah the 61 Unibody. We're taking it down tommorrow to get exhaust. Once I get that done I'll snap some better pictures of it. Right now it's been dirty, rained on and in poor light. Hopefully tommorrow will work out better for it. Still debating on mufflers and pipe size, but I'm leaning towards 3 inch and 50 series flowmasters.

Ultimate Jay. I know everyone's messing with me right now. It's all in good fun. And this car wasn't intended to be a family car, but with a 3 year old boy that things the world of you, and wants to be by your side all the time it makes you think. This car just wasn't the right choice. Not that any of these cars are any safer, but the wheel base and lack of weight alone where what forced my decision. I feel much safer sticking him in a stock 78 Corolla or the RX-3.

The Sprinter just feels like a tin can. Until you get in it, I guess you won't understand.


I just finished this one though.



Oh and the car that you guys are going to be busting my ***** over til I get it on the road came out today for some sun and bath.

 

pertano the car came out nice ...
