About a year or so ago, all the detailed photos I had from the intial teardown got deleted somehow when there was a software update on my phone. I checked everywhere and could not find them. It was a heart wrenching moment when I realized it because I took such great care to document everything. Always knew the easiest thing would be to find another car to have and dissasemble it as I reassemble the other one. Mainly under the dash because I removed everything and it was quite a bit more complex than you would imagine. Can't hurt to have some spare parts along the way as well.
Today I found that car after searching almost daily ever since that initial moment where I lost everything. I only wanted something $500 or less and local within 20-30 miles. Not much to look at and has a locked up wheel but it's complete and original. They wanted $600, I offered $400 and then told them $500 and they could just call me back. We settled there and I think it's absolutely worth it. I already know of at least 3 parts I need which I have not been able to find.
I also just realized it has the $200+ mudflaps!
