Default Progress on my 2nd SC (PICS)

After having my '95 totalled, I was able to pick up a '94 in good condition. I've had it for a little less than 2 weeks.
Anyways, here's the progress so far. I still need to fix some stuff on the kit (high beams, patch up some spots, etc.). Paint coming soon , along with a drop, and then going turbo after that's all done.

(Pics taken from the ones I uploaded to the gallery)

Do you have an authentic Vertex kit? It seems like the original kit. I have a black SC with a knock-off Vertex kit on, but it doesn't look as fit & nice as yours. Could you tell how much it cost for this kit?

Nope, it's the Version Select kit that uses the origin rear bumper (hence the white). I bought this kit from ted17 in hopes of putting it on my '95, but the day I picked it up the car got totalled. The fitment is very good, I've only had to do minor, if any, work to make it fit. Mainly just sanding down a couple areas, the rear fit perfectly, sanded down the skirts a little so it cleared the doors when opening and closing, and the front just needed the sides near the fender grinded down a bit to be perfectly even. All I need to do now is the high beams and then patch up some spots and i'm ready for paint.
oh, and i believe i paid ted like $750 shipped, which was an awesome deal (thanks again ted).

You had a very good deal! Your kit looks exactly like the authentic one. Good job!

I paid $6.4k out the door for it. It has 123k miles on it. It's still in fairly good condition. Considering they gave me $9.3k for my other SC which had 186k miles, I still had money left over. So after giving this car a refresh it should be in tip top shape.

Sounds like you end up coming out pretty good with what you thought was going to be a hellish insurance deal. Congrats !
