Rebuilding Joes wrecked DTR

I miss whitey here
I purchased guspech750 Joe's Wrecked DTR April 22 2019 and am slowly getting the car back together.

As most of you know the DTR was damaged in the front and the rear axle did not sit straight in the car anymore.
The main tub of the body did not receive any damage, so a frame swap and front cradle is going to be the easiest for me.

The donor car was a 2006 CV P71 , it was not wrecked, no previous repairs to the frame and its relatively rust free.

$247.18 for the complete frame and front aluminum suspension chunk.

Let the fun begin! More photos at the bottom hyperlink

Awesome thread!
Saving another Marauder....:banana2:



Hoping that the Honda (:puke:) that caused all this has already been converted into a case of beer cans.
 
You have your work cut out for you. Good luck and call or text me if need something......like a peep talk, that's a big job in front of you. Don't get frustrated and give up on it. I'd love to see that car going again.



How about a before and after pictures. Get one of you in the driver's seat now and one when you're done.

The above is a fact, it takes a good amount of time and a lot of space to do a frame swap, I’ve done half a dozen or so, each one was a learning experience, good luck, don’t lose the faith and keep us posted on progress.

Good luck and have fun! Make sure Joe gets those keys back in His hand for a nice cruise one day!

Saving the car Joe built is huge to me. I wish he could get it back when you are done.
What Darren and all are saying I know you are aware of, so, please keep the thread going!
 
You guys obviously don't know BW. He has brought many a car back to life. I am just glad to see he is motivated on a project again. Full steam ahead.

Lou. Here is a picture of him sitting in my 303k mile DTR hopefully his result is better than mine but I hope he has the same grin when he is done with his.

This side of the box was damaged.
Trying mobile link
Turns out the new were ones don't have the sensor at the very top of the box for climate control so typically it's going to be 03 04 05 part went to one yard today and all the silver lining was tattered
