This happened on the way home, the day we bought the car!

On the way home from buying the car, we decided to test the condition it was in. In an empty parking lot, we were spinning in circles and brushed up against a curb. This was the result. The previous owner didn't install the bottom ball joints correctly and the passengerside ball joint popped out! If this would have happened at the track, it would have been really bad.

This car is ready for a NASCAR track... going backwards

That doesn't look normal

Check out the gangster lean

Here are the rust spots and body damage areas:

This is what happens if the door sags and the corner catches
