A Girl in need of some help!!

[Fuory]

My husband and I purchased this weekend litearly a 95 3000GT, here are some details

Mechanical:
Front end in need of MAJOR work (will place an image somewhere)
In need of
motor mounts
steering hose
tie rods

Body:
Lamp (left side GONE)
Hood
Bumper
Both front fenders
Radiator support beam
Hood Latch

Would anyone know where on this planet I can freaking find any parts??

The car needs some big time TLC, the thing that owned her before went out drunk and rear ended a Chevy Truck.

The wreckers would be my first choice. just look on the net there should quite a few. This would also be a good opertunity for a face lift too.

well i highly recommend www.maximalperformance.net for the motormounts. Not only are they less expensive than the stock motor mounts, they are SOLID and will last forever.

secondly, you can get a complete 99 front end conversion done to the vehicle by purchasing the parts at www.3sxperformance.com Since you basically need a whole new front end, might as well do the 99 conversion as you accomplish 2 things at once. 1) fix your front end, and 2) get the 99 conversion done and making your car look much better.

For other parts and whatnot you can usually find them at Mentor Mitsubishi. Their website is https://www.trademotion.com/ordersta...?siteid=213934


After you go to those 3 places I'm pretty sure you'd have almost your whole car all taken care of. Make sure to post pics when you are done

Gateway hit the nail on the head. That would be the route I'd go. With solid motormounts and the 99 front end conversion. However, if you are deadset on stock parts or going the cheapest route possible...get a membership on www.3si.org/forum

It is a free forum just like this, however, they don't allow free web-based email addresses, so you have to use something other than hotmail or yahoo to register. AOL, compuserve, msn, etc. Anyway, they have a great 'parts wanted/parts for sale' section. You can find practically any part for this car in a matter of 15 minutes of searching or asking.

As much as I like 3sx I will tell you that you are MUCH better off getting the parts for the 99 conversion thru the dealer. THe bumper itself can be had for over $100 less. And thats just the start of it.

Now you probably want to get registered on 3si.org. People are constantly parting out cars there. I have a VR4 I parting right now. For the front bumper I am supposed to be picking up a 94-96 front bumper this weekend. Its part of a package deal and I only really want the rear bumper I am geting with it. Where are you located? We might be able to work out a deal on it if you are insterested.

While you're at it, check out DeftRacing@ http://www.deftracing.com/ They've got plenty of good aftermarket parts if you're trying to make it look better than stock.

No frame damage??? you're pretty lucky in that sense...

[Morphius289]

Someone actually wants my car? :-D

[Fuory]

No frame damage at all Rocker its the amazing part, I had it inspected by my mechanic yesterday fully, still pisses me off on how this chick treated this car.

[xXxRocker5150]

Wow, well from what I've notied about my chick friends as drivers, all I have to say is this; it seems like the majority of chick drivers don't drive as fast as males, but they seem to be more accident prone. You'd think that the previous owner would've treated it right, but I know so many moronic girls at my school that have nice cars and treat them like shit. At least the car's in good hands now, and good luck with everything.

[Fuory]

Rocker you know that's true, I think the only reason I tend to take care of my cars more then other girls is I was an only kid, and was hella board so I hung out with my dad alot. He was into restoring sports car's so from about er, 12 I was a wrench head. My problem now is I have never worked on an import. I have rebuilt a 70 Charger, an 81 Turbo Indy Transam, and helped with like 3 Mustangs from Coup to fast back to Mach 1 All older cars. Just never an import hah.

[xXxRocker5150]

^ Wow, maybe you can help me rebuild our 70 charger... and our 70 roadrunner while you're at it

[Musashi3000GT]
