Brining Her back to life!!!!

[PettitWC]

So I know I haven't posted in forever but I figured I'd get back into the game.

I've some medical stuff going on so I haven't taken care of my ti yet with the insurance guys.

I think I can buy my car back from the insurance folks for about $950. If I can do that I think I'll just source another m44 and swap it in and turn the ti into my new commuter instead of buying a kia rio or something.

So...if anyone has a good source for a used m44 in colorado please let me know. I'll have to make some phone calls when I'm at work tomorrow to double check on this but i'm keeping my fingers crossed. This way I don't have to strip the car of it's stereo and all the other sweet stuff on it. Now I'm kicking myself for giving/selling you guys all that stuff!!


here are some old pictures of her from when I was back in Cali (mostly just to keep me excited):

[madfronter]

It should be fairly easy source another M44 to drop in there. Good luck! I really like those wheels as well.

thanks guys!

I found a free one on bf.c but the guy won't ship and he's in wisconsin

Welcome back Chris, good to hear you're bringin her back. Too bad you sold all those parts, but there's plenty more out there and this is a good excuse to make changes. Keep us posted on the progress. I just sold my m44 to a member here. I've seen a few pop up from time to time. Lot's of people doing swaps. If I'm not mistaken, I think HuGo still has his. BTW, I'm going to have tons of spare parts when I'm done with my swap. LMK if there's anything you need.

thanks jess, will do

[thesk8nmidget]

Chris its good to hear that your bringing her back. The MHTi crew has been on the low for a while. But if you need any help let me know. I can try and get the guys together and see what we can do. Let me know if you need any kind of help. I'll keep an eye out for an M44.

Hey chris found this on CL don't know if you would be interested. I sure would want the vaders. I'll have to email him and see how much he wants. $2500 isn't bad would have to check out the engine see how bad it is. If i had the money i would prolly get it since it seems alright, depending on the milage of the engine.

^I think he forgot the link^

Anyway, I'm a little confused why you have Washington DC plates in California??? Or was that just a road trip?

sounds like an s52? I'm just going to get an m44 for her and make her my commuter to cheyenne. I have the coupe to speed around in.
