Man, that looks good. What's the total so far?

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 11:53 am

Yes they did a great job! Body panels line up perfect. $630.33 to get the frame back to spec. Also included in that price was 5008381AC which is the piece that says "Replace" ($67.35)
I got a flame red fender from a local for $75. Hood hinges for $25. Had to get the car towed back home for $45.

So $775.33 so far.

Thank you for the move Canada.

Well, I did get it running. It started up fine. Still kind of worried about the key since when I unlocked the door with the key..The alarm went off. (No key fob) Previous owner said its fine.

There is a hack job wiring around the steering column that has me worried a little bit. Probably for the aftermarket alarm.

Should I go ahead and change the oil? Car has been sitting for over 6 months and who knows how long it has been since the last oil change before that.

Does anyone know how to run diagnostics with the diablosport? As in seeing ignition advance, knock retard etc in real time. I tried to find the PDF on their website for the SRT-4, but I could only find it for the LX vehicles. Do I need a laptop for this?

Going to check the compression today and look over the suspension.

Aftermarket alarm. Cut it off!

Wiring job underneath column... Mehhhhh

More pictures to come. But will start ordering suspension stuff here soon and getting it inspected.

Oil change is cheap insurance, I'd do it.

You can run that right on the Diablo, but you can only view a few PIDs at a time whereas with the laptop you can view a whole plethora of them.

Well it sold, waiting on a guy from Festus, Mo to haul it away.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Thu May 12, 2011 1:27 pm

Wait what? Why'd you sell it?

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Thu May 12, 2011 4:35 pm

Needed the money, and didn't have time to mess with it. Its going to good hands. JMBperformance.com. Plus I made a decent profit on it, so its all good.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Thu May 12, 2011 5:09 pm

Well, all is well then, congrats!

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu May 12, 2011 8:54 pm

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Thu May 12, 2011 9:59 pm

I guess the "once complete" part didn't happen while he had it. I bet JMB will sell it to you after they fix it. But probably for not as cheap.
