Well over a month ago as some of you may know i got rear ended, hit twice both impacts on the drivers side rear. It took it's toll on the car, the pics don't do it much justice but from what the body shop told me everything from the floor pan below the rear seats and back needed to be replaced, not to mention a bent frame. Therefore they finally decided it was a total loss after 3 weeks in the body shop. Anyway here is a flash back to the quick year i had with it.
The day i bought it
Just threw the rims off my 97 cav on it about a month or so after i bought it
11-2-05
It's first J-Body meet in philly
4-19-06 got the lips on and painted
Finally lowered on Gravana Coilovers, this was about 3 weeks before the accident.
The last pics i took of it, for the hotbodies contest, about a week before the hit.
The day it got hit
And This was from when i brought it home from the body shop, the day before the J-yard
Almost new ecotec, i hope someone picks it up! hate to see it wasted.
with it's buddy for the last time
and here is the last pic before i gave it away, totaly stock again.
Although i might not be buying another J i won't be leaving the org, i still have my 97 DD 2.2 cav that's running perfect at 93K so it's not going anywhere anytime soon. But I am looking at a Cobalt ss s/c, ION redline, 4X4 colorado, used GTO, or another cavalier.
so pretty
"Boost tuning"....... have you had your 8 PSI today?
future name of the winter shop!!!
I was REALLY liking the way the new cav was going, I thought they weren't gonna total it out???
hmm wanan sell the engine? i was thinkin of getting an eco for my 2200
the unibody is bent to hell and back. they wont fix that. it doesnt look bad, but its definatly totalled. my 99Z24 looked like that, and it was totalled out. My 02 looked almost that bad.. should have been totalled, but they "fixed" it. its never been the same since. i know its sad to see a car go, but its better that they totalled it, you dont want that car after its been "fixed".
PS. Buy the SS/SC. you wont regret it.
Damn, really sorry to hear. I was really liking that lip with the wheels, (was) very sweet.
Well man I guess it all happens for a reason. Get the 97 back to lookin how it used to. put the gravana's and the sides back on it and throw your exhaust on if ya can. It sucks to see that happen to the car.....

dang
that bogus as @!#$ my car we way more messed up then that and i fixed it no problem
sucks
time to go srt4 lol
take the front lip kit suspension and wheels to the daily driver paint it and your set..... hell since you got the whole car transfer the eco setup to it and you wont have no need for a new j.... you could easily make your 97 100% 05 besides the title

he has the parts but i wouldnt call an engine swap easy
wow..that J barely breathed the air it deserved! man that sucks, good luck on your choice; if I were you Id dig the SS SC
damm, your car was looking really nice too.
that has to be the hottest front end ever for the 03+ cavs, i love that lip
wanna sell the strut bar

sorry about what happened but that damange isnt that big of a deal for a shop to fix really, my dad owns a auto shop and does this stuff everyday. no reason to total it i wouldnt think
Im still upset about the whole thing nick. That car had so much potential, but on the bright side you got 99% of what you payed for the car back and you can put a nice down payment on anyone of those cars you mentioned.
Sorry to see such a sweet lookin J go like that.
...However, do you wanna sell that engine and tranny? lol, name the price.
wanna sell the side skirts?
sorry to see man, that really sucks...i had a similar crap accident with one of my berettas..makes u feel so @!#$ty
White 98'Z-alive n kickn
Black 97'Z-down for the count
Sucks, but I could see that car back on the road. It will sell at a insurance auction, and someone will rebuild it. Heck we have a wreck 04 with a perfect back end that would go nicely on there. Also I would have done the Ecotec swap into your daily driver and put the daily driver motor and trans in it, and gave it to them!!!!!
FU Tuning
Make your 97 a 05. Hell you have almost everything for the swap.
