from MN to GA to MN: GXP

[harofreak00]

When http://www.uship.com failed to find someone to haul this over a month, I decided to go get it myself. 1400 miles one way, from MN to GA to MN. I left on Tuesday morning, and picked up the car Wednesday afternoon. This is how the car sat when I got there.









I stopped at a Pic-a-Part in Indianapolis on Thursday and found an 05 SLE. I got everything here pictured for a steal, $303.





2847 miles and $911.76 in fuel, and I'm home.

thats been forsale for a while now..glad to see you finally snagged it up!

Good find at the pic-a-part near me. Indiana has always had great prices on car parts in salvage yards. Hit me up whenever you pass by Indiana again. I need someone to help swap my transmission this summer.

Normally I'd say its totaled. Andrew will have it buffed out in no time lol.

Some of the parts for your GXP also?

With a buckled A-pillar I'd say this GXP is pretty well done. 1 of 2420...

Done for!

Any good stories from the road?

[SSEiMan01]

Worth the trip I'd say! Glad to hear all went well.

Please Andrew, please tell me it is a part out.

I am curious on the price.

And I have to agree, with a buckled A-Pillar, the thought of putting it back on the road makes me sick.

If your parting that out. I may be interested in those rims

Glad to hear the trip went well and awesome price on all the SLE parts! That should help offset the fuel bill a bit!

Good work Andrew.

Is the suede really that bad, or is it just the picture? AKA how much work do we need to do to get them in good shape again?

And now I'm drooling over those tails too (*dang* I hate this, LOL).

EDIT: Dibs on the both shifter knobs, the plain for my buddy's 05 SLE, the GXP for dad's car. Both had the buttons pop out...

I paid $1500 for the car. The pictures should tell if if I'm parting out out.

LOL!! They dont last long in your hands.

Awesome man.

[nos4blood70]

Your strip downs are masterful.
So many awesome parts.

[SSEiMan01]

All I can see in those pics is a WGTC GXP with chrome 18's... *dang* tease you are!

[ga93sle]

Way to waste time on a tear down!

[yonkerss]

Wow that was quick Will be watching for a for sale thread for sure!

Looks like you forgot the GXP pedals...

[crzydmnd72]

With that much damage in front, how challenging is it to get the drivetrain all out?

[RJolly87]

Not so much that a sawzall couldnt help.
