So I am rebuilding this Jeep SRT8 *ALL DONE B/C I'M THE SHIT*

[smug]

Just wondering if any one would be interested if I posted up pictures of the 07 Jeep SRT8 that I will be fixing very soon. It hit a wall on 294 and it really messed up to the point that I am pulling the engine, dash, cradle, weld in a new frame rail, core support and all sorts of stuff. Oh yeah it was dropped off by tow truck with three wheels attached to the Jeep lol. the Fourth was in the back of the Jeep. If it is worth my time to you all I will post a shit load of pics along the way.

For sure... I love seeing stuff like that. Bodywork is an art to me. I'd love to learn how to do it.

Does the owner want to sell the car as is? LMK

 

[autowerks racing]

are you a state farm select service shop? Out of all the companies we work with they are one of the best

 

[smug]

Yes we are a State Farm Service First shop and no the owner does not want to sell lol. I just removed the dash, front seats, complete drivetrain / front suspension. All before afternoon break lol! Just got to figure out how to transfer the Jeep from the lift to the frame rack now.

Broke the power steering pump off and the battery exploded everywhere leaving acid stains

Bad buckle in frame rail

What is left of the suspension

Wheel went into the cowl / A pillar

Bent engine cradle and stuff

Air Bags

Dash removed. Front seat and carpet are also gone because of the welding I have to do

Pushed it to the lift

[smug]

haha its not that bad.....yet
just wait till I really start cutting this bitch up next week

 

[SleeperLS]

I gotta ask, how much would that cost for that extensive of a fix?. Seems like it would be more than its worth?

 

[smug]

about 20 grand right now. State Farm approved it so i dont care lol. its work!
I did a 2010 Challenger over the summer and it was 27K when all said and done and I did not have to drop the engine.

After looking at those pics, I'm very glad I did not pursue an auto body career like I had originally planned.
