I know this thread doesnt belong here but I wanna know what made you scrap your White SHO that thing looked well worth fixing. Did you crash it and it got totaled or did it blow up. What the **** happened. I would love to see a SHO like yours in the Junk Yard. But then again if I did I would be pretty ******. People here in MN just scrap some really nice cars and I dont understand why.

To add to that , they were charging me 1000$ just for the rocker panels , and thats without the paint. And it was rotten even further then the rocker panels.

So I took my 1000$ and bought that 2002 taurii.

Damn Thats what my rockers used to look like lol. Yeah I agreee with everyone on here about the rust issue behind the side skirts or ground effects whatever you wanna call it. ITs a lot of metal work to me it would have been worth fixing. You saw my pics on the metal work I did on my 94 Right?? can you buy new rocker panels that are ready to be welded in do you know. Your swapping a your parts into a 2002 SHO then or are you makin the motor in the 02 taurus into A Super HIgh output motor? Id like to see the finished product. looks like you do good work.

I should have read better I guess if it was going to be a SHO car then yeah that wouldnt be good. I drive my SHO daily(when I have a lilcense) and love it to death. Today I saw a guy driving a 2004 corvette like a lil old lady it ****** me off when people go buy these $100,000 cars and drive em like buicks. SAve yourself 60GS and go buy a new buick.

No you cant buy these panels anymore , but you could buy them back then. they have to be custom made.

My whole 94 engine setup goes in the 2002 hole , as well as the MTX.

If you were down by ohio I would have made you new panels. My nickname in collision repair was the "patch master" I can/love custom fabricating sheet metal. This summer I have to make new dog legs on my car they have the holes in the back so its going to be all new

bleh... I dont even want to know whats behind my rocker panels now.

The passenger side is loose and flimsy right below the front door; meaning there is nothing behind it to support the plastic cladding. I can poke my fingers through any given spot along the bottom of the rockers.

the frame rails are all bent and caved in from improper lifting, so I cant even re-enforce anything.

kinda sad really.. didnt expect it to be as bad as it was.

cause I never removed those panels. I knew it was rusty in there , but never that bad. Besides all the cash spent in mods is saved for the 2002.

Seeing that almost makes me wish i lived in PA where they use sand instead of salt. I just don't like the hillbilly deliverance thing haha. the previous owner of my 95 was the original owner and garage kept it. it was immaculate when i got it 2 years ago. 2 years without the garage and i just lost my first piece of paint!!!! I'm flipping out
