Silver 2000 z24, Fixin it up
Friday, March 20, 2009 6:19 PM
Well first things first. I bought this car in February after it hit a guardrail. Its a 2000 Chevy Cavalier z24 with something like 173,xxx miles. I test drove it before buying it, just around the block and it obviously had some problems. Its alignment was screwed up and the driver side front tire was toed outward. I brought it to a shop to check out the frame on it. The subframe was bent but the rest of the car looked ok. I replaced the subframe from one I got at the junkyard and put everything back together. I picked up a front bumper cover and some headlights and then swapped the interior, hood, and wheels off of another one of my projects and put that all on and thats where I'm at. Keep in mind that I need to do some work on the front still. Its bolted down with only a few bolts and I need a headlight bracket for the driver side. Also I'm going to pick up a hood and new fenders and put those on as the one on the driver side is a toyota fender and thats not going on this car.

It still has a lot of work to go but I'm not putting a lot of money into this one, at least not yet. I have a buddy thats gonna do the painting on the parts and already have another sideskirt. Some plans if I don't sell it are a drop, tints, and just cleaning it up.

Onto some pics.
When I first bought it


















Starting some work after the subframe was replaced








And how its sitting now. Still have to do a lot on the front to get stuff lined up










Yeah, I know, it needs a lot more work. It will get there someday. Feel free to post comments or questions. Be gentle. Or not.

Yes I have both toyo fenders. The only reason its on there is cause i dont have another, regular fender at the moment until I can pick one up a junkyard. The white toyo fenders are for my other project.

lol man c'mon get rid of those wiper blades

Otherwise kudos on the repair job! Looks like it's coming along nicely, and I like the hood.

If you are willing to ship the fender let me know a price. I'm having a hard time finding a fender at the local junk yard that is in decent shape in any color. A silver one would be great.
