my new pile of sheet metal. (project RoRo Revive) UPDATES PG2!

OrangeZXT was kind enough to pawn his pile of **** off on me. ;) After a month or so of arrangements, RoRo's old crapwagon showed up at Prestige. It was brought by a really dirty dude who tried to push it into a pit when attempting unloading and later spent 5 min. In front of the shop scratching his dirty balls, elbow deep in his disgusting grey sweatpants. :zombie:

Once that monkey left, my junkpile found a home between 2 other cars that dont run and belong in the crusher. :lol:

This is after I took the fenders and hood out of the car and half bolted them on. Part of the reason was to keep the rain out of the engine bay. Mostly it was to keep the junk man from hauling it off.

Feeling a bit better about it with some more body panels on, I tried fitting the hood. I had to retap the holes and be very carefull since this awesome yellow weave CF hood is all I have to keep the rain out untill I can find something nicer.......... like a blue tarp.

Hell, it isnt too bad after all.

Time to tackle the inside. Once I moved the parts to the hatch area, I can see things arent as bleek as I would have once believed.

Time to start filling this hole.

Im kind of curious myself since I dont know much about this car besides RoRo owned it and it was in a mag or two. Any info on how this car came to be in such a state?


the only disappointment I had today was discovering that the steering column is trash. There's lots of slop in the intermediate part between the u joints. :(

Ah man, pretty soon I'm just gonna send you guys a Frownie so that you can transport that around the country along with this car :p I'd love to have the knowledge, time, and money to tackle a project like this, and I'm hoping that this time RoRo Revive will come back to life :thumbup:

Oh I forgot to mention, I found an oldskool FJ pimp card in it belonging to Chellys02ZX3. :thumbup: I thought that was cool since I actually know Chelly. :)

I actually need tailights more than headlights. Larry was nice enough to source some headlights for me.

Its funny how parts keep disapearing off that car, it had headlights and tailights when it left my house.

For anybody who was in a cave and never heard about my stint with the car, here's the thread: http://forums.focaljet.com/team-pit...it-stop/502805-project-roro-focus-resurrection-small-update.html?highlight=RoRo
