I forgot about the wheels - I did sand them and shoot them white with Krylon primer and paint. I also shot the center of the hubs black so they don't look horrible showing through the wheels. I plan on finding a set of rally wheels for her, but for now the cheezy hubcaps are gone and the steelies are white.
I will definitely be throwing a set of fogs on her, and probably will add cruise control, just because I always have the parts on hand.

As of this morning she is legal. Emissions was no problem yesterday, so this morning I swung by DMV and got her a shiny new set of plates.

I sold the Teins. This one is getting a lift kit as high or higher than Crashy #1.

It will be a custom suspension lift kit, like I made for Crashy. Bags would be nice though, so I can raise it up for plowing or off-roading and then drop it for the road.

I am not planning on it ... but the odds are not in my favor. I know how people drive around here (mostly people are just in such a hurry that they drive like jerks and do stupid things).
I just think that it is just a matter of time. I don't worry about me ... it is the other guy that runs into you that you have to worry about. Pretty much everyday I go out and drive in my Yaris .. there is someone that does something stupid and there is almost a collision. I just think that someday my luck will just run out ... |

Wow! Scott you are the without a doubt the best Yaris man in the world!
Just curious, when you got the new title in your name, was it a savage title or did buying it before the insurance was involved save you from that fate?

Scott, I followed this thread because of your knowledge. I just don't know what to say of your abilities, but just amazing skill you have.
It looks like it rolled out of the factory at Toyota City,Japan. Thank you. |
