Finally got my transplant done

Transplant completed. Entire drivetrain, suspension, brakes, etc, taken from wrecked red 96 Lsi and put into 94 Pearl Lsi. What a difference. Runs awesome. The pearlie had a bad tranny and bad leaking engine that ran, not as good as the 96. Heres a photo of the 96 engine before it went into the pearlie.

Re: Finally got my transplant done

where did you get that red one from?

Is that the one that the kid smashed into a barrier and damaged the whole passenger side?

No. This is what's left of his wife's car after she was hit from the rear while stopped in traffic, waiting to make a right turn onto her street.

The woman that hit her was driving a 2005 Ford F-250. All she got out of this was a small dent in his front bumper...
