Haha, that's good. I guess you didn't lose out on money huh? It would cost money to repair but maybe this time you can do something even cooler with it.
EDIT: Didn't even see this page... Maybe the Zebra would be a good way to practice body work and paint skills?
Rich, that's not good... She is definitely lucky.

Thats horrible. Some people make the worst decisions. There was a crash recently where only the driver died, the other 3 passengers were fine but he was driving fast offroad on the side of a road and the truck flipped over. That road is known for having people drive upwards of 100mph on it, heck I've hit 80 in my old ranger. Don't know what he was thinking or why he did it but it was stupid.

The body really is in pretty good shape I think, Just looks like a crap paint job. The rear arches of course are rusted and the one corner up top is dinged up.
I'm not sure about the bumper, I figured I'd find a way to salvage the Zebras bumper for it, sol at least theres a full size bumper. The hood was jsut popped in this pic, it does close normally.
I basically just wanna get it for the wife to have a reliable all weather vehicle.

Yeah lol, he did say it has been completely converted to the 78-91 clip. It was done before he got it.
Should be getting Zebra back, we got hit with some snow so that bogged everything down.
I can't wait. I really want that 351w in my coupe!
