**** Progress!

Here's my new front frame section fresh from the US.

And lifting the engine out, ready for the jig work, cut off and replace of the new front frame piece.

Neon,

Yeah I felt that one too, being in my basement!
It was a mild 5.2, 3mi SW of Gilroy at 11:50PM.

Nadine,

It's good to see the progress on your car.

You will be back and running in no time.

Nadine,
I am so glad to see that the big stuff is finally there and getting put into / onto your car. You'll be back in no time. Hang in there and let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

Nadine,

Maybe I missed it, but what happened that required a new front frame? Accident? Is the frame some kind of upgrade? Looking at your engine removal it doesn't look like the frame on your orginal is bad.

Looking good Nadine.

Thanks Hemi, I didn't search back far enough thinking this was recent event.

Nadie, please keep us posted. I for one love to hear about any issues that come up seeing how I would like to rebuild one myself soon.

Good luck with getting your Snake back together Nadine!

Just be patient and your hard work will pay off and you'll be driving it again soon.

Nadine, is that frontrunners on the Viper?! About the door on the wall...with sponsor decals on it...are u sure the accident didn't happen on the racetrack? ;-)

 

[Nadine UK GTS]

Thanks all, for the encouragement and good wishes, it means so much.

It's not easy being overseas, and the rebuild is not happening as fast as I would like, or had planned.

Theoretically, I could have been driving a Viper for the last few months, if I'd gone and bought another (once I had the insurance money)...but I could not give up on my first love.

Bonkers, that frame is bent! Even the toe-box is creased out of shape, both sides; and the left suspension frame bracket is torn off. I would rather post pics of the positive though, ie repairs / progress! Bad Asp, mods are on the agenda! The coolest one is the Fluidyne radiator, and center hood 'GTSR' style louver.

JP the "eagle-eye" yes, you did see race cars parts (from the British GT series) I bought them though, they needed a good home!

Cody, I will keep taking the pics.
