    Need Help Buying A Memorial Car

    Ok guys....a good friend among our group down here in S. FL was murdered this past week, as I've mentioned a little bit before. I had an idea. He always wanted a ballin' car, something old skool that he could pimp in. So I am thinking about getting some people together to work on this car in tribute to him, hook it up, and show it at local shows in his honor.

    I have a garage to work on it in. I'm also looking for people who would be willing to donate time and energy into helping us out, so if you're interested, please let me know. I know "YOUROWNREALITY" has offered to let us abuse...I mean USE his services for electrical work.

    If you know anyone who can donate paint, rims, supplies, interior materials, audio, ANYTHING, it's greatly appreciated. Even if it's something you just have lying around your garage, it's appreciated!

    Thanks so much guys!!!

    HERE'S WHERE I NEED SOME HELP FROM VVTI!!!! PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE A FEW BUCKS, EVEN A DOLLAR OR TWO, PLEASE DONATE IT TOWARDS OUR CAR FUND!!! I'M GOING TO KEEP A LIST AND DO A TRIBUTE SOMEWHERE ON THE CAR OF THE NAMES OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DONATE TO THE CAR, SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

    Our friends down here don't really have the money, cause we're all trying to help out with supporting other parts of the costs, and we're all going to be putting money into the car in parts and labor, so we'll be paying that way.

    Please, if you can donate anything, please paypal it to me and then put your name on this thread so I can keep track. I need to raise $2,000 to pay for the car, which I'm sure that if everyone pitched in a few bucks could really be done. My Paypal account address is "C3Cpat@Yahoo.com".

    Thanks in advance guys!!!

    Perhaps after showing it in a few shows, you should donate it to a charity in his honor, after it has been brought to show condition. In that way, his memory will leave behind more than just showmanship, but real purpose. That would really be an excellent way to continue his memory.

    I'm hoping to get about $750, and call the guy and ask him if we can buy it cheap when I tell him what it's for. If that's already gone we're going to try to buy his old car from his mom, but she might have to sell it for more than we have so that she can pay for funeral costs.

    and the car is either going to go to his sister when she's old enough (she's 9 right now) or to his baby that his girl is having.

    Oh, and thank you guys for ANYTHING you can help with,

    93rollaracer, I'm DEFINITLY interested

    Paul, Thanks a million for anything, I know you and Aga are strapped, but it means the world even if it's not a lot.

    SkyAce, Thanks a million too. Like I said, even $5 is awesome and helps us out a little. The more we don't have to pay for the car itself, the more we can pay for parts and things like that, so it's greatly appreciated!!!

    No prob girly!

    C'mon guys (and girls) this is a good thing we are doing cause for one I know the Cpat can really do a nice car, its for a good cause, and instead of getting that extra piece of junk food you intended to, send her the money!!!

    Since I'm such a not so good person and pagan at that I'm collecting my good deeds just incase there is an afterlife!
