It's the bird (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I have the interior out right now trying to strip a little weight out, and adding a rollbar ect.... And I have found over $31 in change so far (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) UNDER the carpet, and IN and around the seat mounting cross brace (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
How much does $31 in change weigh? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) |

This is why I prefer to carry paper money.....less weight. I go faster on paper cash...... |

About half was in quarters, most of the rest was silver with about .50 in penny's.

....it is AMAZING how much change you find when stripping a car...I found a similar amount in the Camaro...
It was so bad, that some of it was INSIDE the unibody frame....I would come into the pits for the first few sessions and find a quarter or two on the floor.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) |

(IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/firehawkclone/DSC00919.jpg) You can see the unibody cross brace's for the seat's in this pic, I got about $8 out of it last night. (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/firehawkclone/1cb3feb6.jpg) I need $20's and $100's to start poping out though (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) |

That is pretty cool.
I stripped a street car to change the paint color once and found about $25 worth of change. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) |

I had a similar find in my car when I pulled the carpet to put in the roll bar. I found over $50 in quarters all from the previous owner. They use to drive alot of toll roads.

...so Jason has the Bilstein race shock valving dialed in now eh? When I talked to him LAST YEAR about this he was close....I was/am considering his Penske Triple Adjustable (tell your wife I am sorry for EVEN mentioning them to you (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) but don't know how much playing I would do with the rear of the car....and besides, the Bilsteins ARE adjustable....just takes about 45 minutes more to do it....
I LOVE THE BILSTEINS IN THE FRONT! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) |

Otherwise I would be in the same boat. So so long as I don't spend the food money on the car, I get bitching free upgrades (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) This post has been edited by killer_bluebird: Dec 30 2005, 02:51 PM |

Everytime I've pulled the interior out of my car I've found a small fortune. It's truly amazing.

Wow that is alot of change you guys found in your cars. I'd think you would here it rattling around.
I found I guess around $2 didnt count...but I think my car was owned by a poor boy before me also.... hmmm $37 that'll get some supplies (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) spray cans or something. Umm and he/she was a pot head too that must have spillled every drink that was brought in the car. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) sticky under there eewww Those are pretty add-ons John (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) |
