Its all good, my adjsuter came out yesterday, now i have removed all the junk parts and am ready to install new better stuff, thanks Mr Super Deer! :lol: :lol:

Did you get a halfway decent estimate insurance wise? I need to get my Ty appraised since the new engine went in....If I were to total my ride(god forbid)....I wouldn't get squat for it....even with full coverage....

Re: I Saw A Wrinkled Typhoon Today!

Yeah I did. My Tyclone will be more of a Ty than a clone now! lol

DETAILS:
1992 GMC Typhoon black/black #2040
- 89,999.7 miles
- Clear TX title
- New 245/50/16 Cooper tires
- Boyd 16" billet wheels
- $3000 spent on rebuilt motor & turbo 7 months ago
- rebuilt trans I believe within 24 hours of the crash
- front end questionable what parts are good.
all cladding good except front bumper cover, left front fender, back right and back left corners, and under driver door...
- near perfect interior!

The owner was drunk and pulled out on to a highway THE WRONG WAY! There is a smell of beer in the front seat and pieces of broken beer bottle on the floor. I believe that has something to do with why he didnt claim it on insurance.

After over a decade of dreaming of getting a Typhoon... I finally got one! Too bad its junk! hahaha

I will have better pictures of it for you tomorrow with it all washed up on the trailer.

? It's different?

Guess I'm still a N00b :rotf:

The older style was smaller and had the writing in the center (round) section. Of course it could be an older one that had the handle replaced.

I just installed the fog lights on my truck this week. That alone was worth the purchase price of the truck! haha
