So I've bought two junker Neons with the hopes of one day combining them into one reasonably serviceable race car. They're both 1994 1/2 Neon ACR Sedans. One (The Blue Car - aka: Blue) has already seen significant duty as a race car since day one. The other (The White Car - aka: Whitey) is a thoroughly beaten street car - exhibiting all manner of wear & tear. But...and this is important...the chassis is straight and relatively rust free. It's important because The Blue Car is rust free, but is anything but straight.
Unfortunately, in September of 2006, Blue was involved in a significant front end collision and is now about a foot shorter than it's supposed to be. Details are cloudy, but apparently a different driver and a slow/stationary Miata were involved.
The basic plan is to take all of the go-fast parts off of Blue and put them on/in Whitey. Blue's engine was already transplanted to Greg's new race car by this spring. All that's left is the roll cage, and race prepped suspension. The doors and various other mechanical parts will be removed and stockpiled as spares, and the rest will head to the scrap yard.
Here are a few "before" shots - defintely looking very used up.
And the interior - the seat's already been removed, but the roll cage has yet to be cut out.
