Hi I need some advice, I'm thinking about buying a GSR box lancer, car has a good engine and suspension, sunroof and rear disc brakes, but the body needs a complete paint job, doors and bonnet may need changing, interior needs wome work buying @ $16.000.00, what do you think?

All that stufff u call out dey might double that price yuh call dey

would be like building a new car. other minor stuff will pop up, some major, that will add to that cost also.


if you really a box lancer lover, i would say look for a better condition one, or better yet, one with a foriegn shell, seen them go for 20k etc.

other minor stuff will pop up, some major, that will add to that cost also.

^^Yup. Was thinking that as well. Just didnt bother to say it.

jus buy my car

I prefer the rebuild project just don't want to go overboard on the spending.

Anytime you put rebuild and project in the same line you should have the cash to backup your ambition. Take my advice, i learned and im still learning the hard expensive way.

yup, same here, by the time you are done, you will have replaced every single part in the car when u finish the body, the engine will go boom, or it will during the process of body work, thats just the luck of a project

^^^^lol

I haven't seen a foreign shell in Trinidad for $20K for the last 6 years...Where are you getting this for that price? A GSR shell sells for $40K now and that's if you can get one.

Yup.. Tuner Imports has it correct...

Tuner Imports,not talking about a shell fresh from japan, talkin about someone who brought in one when their car needed repairs here locally and want to sell for what ever reason.

You said you need doors and a host of other things plus a paint job to bring that all together...

I think you have no idea what you're doing if thats the case...

i have one for sale...PAK A174A original as far as i cud tell, it needs a minor bodywork and the engine is a nissan lump- CA18 single cam with a 32/36 webber 5 fwd manual. Iwish i cud get some pics up but mih camera died $8K 392-3689 and we cud arrange a viewing, the car is in Tacarigua.

Car is a local GSR, same one from the NP PURE ENERGY advertisement, for those who can remember, I had bought it about three years ago, car was parked up for about 3 years before that, body was in real good condition and car started in one tumble with a new battery of course. Within 3 days of purchase i was offered a real good price and unfortunately sold the car, so I have the choice to re-purchase the car now but its condition has worsened body wise, just doors and bonnet though,and interior. I really would like to restore the car fully, if not anyone who may want a good project vehicle and may want to see tha car PM.Thanks for all the advice though.

if u intrested i hav 1 2 sell,s13 sr20 blacktop/turbo....recently painted,very gud interior an engine.... 3341037
