No Bueno
I was PISSED off when I saw this shortly after returning home:
Looks like the fokker ran it into the trailer when he loaded it up to bring it out here. I'm NOT a fan of the person who did this but my wife used him in a pinch. I can't really say much cause the car was delivered for free, but it pisses me off to no end because same person also let our FLAWLESS paint on our Celica get scratched.
Upper and lower rows got crunched, metal support brackets bent, all four IC mounting points punched in, intercooler mounting bent down approx 2" at the front. FORTUNATELY, it all appears to be cosmetic. I moved the bolt location of teh upper end of the support brackets up to hold the IC back in it's original location, and no welds appear to be broken. Will know for sure when I get into the boost.
Car's running, just needs the nose put back on, and those new shocks too.....

If thats a CXRacing intercooler and you need a replacement, I have one just sitting in my shed that I replaced with a Treadstone. It'll need cleaned out but its in decent shape. Let me know here or on Facebook if you want it.
