Got SIX speed?

one of the best days of my live

a couple hours ago i won a bid on a totaled 03 CL-6S with 60k on it.
whats wrong with it: half of the rear bumper missing, hoods dented, radiator core support is bent, maybe a broken radiator/ ac condenser also. i paid less then half of what ppl on here pay for parts to do a 6spd swap. and i have everything that needed for the swap and parts for sale.

then about an hour after that, my supervisor called me into his office, i thought i fucked up a truck in some way.
but instead he gave me a raise, and now im .

runs and drives. it will be tomorrow in my garage tomorrow so ill take pics of everything.

a few cl member will hate me for ripping a lightly crashed cl-s6. but i just like the way my tl looks.


also this means that my car will be good to go to the April meet, it may not be turboed but will be manual.

in the process. the AT trans got in my way of everything. and the turbo is quite bit for the amount of room i have to work with. let alone the 2.5 inch charge pipes and 3" down pipe

the final decision is,

im keeping the CL-S6 and fixing it, swapping parts from the tl to the cl and selling the tl.

the cl is barley hit. im saying 1000max for parts and paint.

NOOOOOOOOOO

traitor

youd be better off selling your 99 tl and keeping your 03 tl as a dd/"nice" car and the cls6 as the track car

ill post pics in a couple min of the car. all the car needs is, hood (cf if i find one). front and rear bumper, radiator and ac condenser (their bent but not leaking), need the radiator support on the top pulled, pass side headlight housing, driver side tail light, and the exhaust is bent but still flows.

my 03tl-p is a dd and trying to sell it,
my 02ssm tl-s, im putting all the suspension/ brake/ engine parts in the cl and returning my car to stock, dont know what im gonna do with my sound system yet.
03 cl-s6 is gonna be my turboed track car. i might keep the 02tls for looks

i got no rear pics but basically, need a bumper and driver side tail light. no frame damage.
FIY: i payed $1800 for the car, total with towing, auction fees and dealer fees it came out to $2400. i know that most of you would pick it up.

waited almost 2 years and i payed off.
