The story
Parents bought it back '98 for a daily driver. Was sideswiped by a semi in a parking lot a couple of months later and was in a shop for 3 months while they looked for a new rear fender. Two years later it was rear ended by a neon. The neon went home on a tow truck, and the truck was driven home.
Been working on transforming it over the last two years into what I wanted in a truck.
