This was the tib I was after.. a Dark Forest Green number from 1999.

I had the high bid on this car for 5 days.. and 5 seconds before the auction was over, lost by $10. The guy who won it seems to buy all the cheap ebay cars in the Poughkepsie NY area and then parts them out. I wanted to save this car too.

definatly needed a new door and work to that rear fender.
It also needed a new trans as the original had a hole in case from letting a leak drain the gear oil and then driving the car till the transmission was dry.

And I had a line on a door and trans too. Oh well. There has to be another dark green 99 out there somewhere!

aww dude, that blows...

is there a way to try and get a hold of them and purchase it for a lil bit more than what he bought it for?? if so, give it a shot

I thought about it.. but my bimmer voiced it's displeasure of me having another working car by breaking it's exhaust manifold yesterday. It already has fairly tubular "headers" all equal length and stuff.. it broke right at the weld where it bolts to the head.. about $800 new.. I am going to try and get it taken off and welded

Jees spart, you put down the EXACT same first line as I was gonna say.

"awwww"

Art is one of the nicest guys I have ever met and I know he pines for his tib 02.gif

Sorry about this dude, hope one comes along for you smile.gif

yup. for what I have planned.. dark green is necessary. Going for a black (interior) Dark green, anodized bronze, and some polished look. It is going to be pretty.

Looking on autotrader.com there is a dark green 99 in chicago for sale.. hmmm

Do it. Ill go with you smile.gif
