#5547, "Interesting way to do FWD->AWD swap."

So I had some fun last night. One of the NEDSM guys picked up a 98 GST DIRT cheap. He then had a TSI AWD rolling shell donated to his project to make the GST AWD.
I got there last night around 8pm and we starting stripping everything left on the AWD donor car we could.
After we finished, we dragged it in the middle of his driveway, threw some tow straps around it and proceeded to use a truck to roll it over onto it's roof.
That made it VERY easy to rip the drivetrain out. Who needs lifts?
I took a bunch of pics and a few short videos of the car rolling over. I'll post a link to where they will be tonight or tomorrow.

He parted the whole car out (I have his exhaust and wideband

That thing is spread thin over quite a few people in NEDSM. I am now the pround owner of his gas door and the fiberboard spare tire cover.

I'll post up a link to the pics after I get them to Chris Nichols and he hosts them.
There's video too.

Unfortunately, the video I was taking cuts out after the car continues to roll end over end into the truck pulling it.

Okay good. At least it was already severely damaged before being parted. It has my blessing to be posted now.

check out the folder where the pics are hosted and download the .avi file listed in there. It's a video of the car getting flipped over and then starting to roll down the driveway. It cuts out when we all start running though.

What a waste

Notice the glass is not broken.

We took it off before we flipped the car. It's just resting there in the pic. I believe it is now in the garage waiting for a new owner.
We also tried to salvege the other glass but we weren't creful enough.

I think he got the whole thing. I started to run down there. I don't know why. It's not like we could stop it or anything.

wow, news travels fast!
This was going to be a surprise, but since the cats already out of the bag, Matt Burns is buying all my mods in return for all his stock parts off the GST he just picked up and she's getting traded in. Lets just say, the replacement will still be a DSM.

Good deal. I'm assuming you are going with AWD this time? (cough Evo cough) Looks like this whole thing actually worked out for quite a few people (Scott got a new Evo, I got some parts off of his car (as did many, many others), Matt got the driveline and your mods, and you got the stock parts so that you can upgrade yourself)

It's funny how these things work out...

(And sorry about ruining the surprise!)
