well if you didnt alredy know i totalled my camry a few days back... i decited that i am going to try and keep it... so far the camry has been kept on the road (for the most part) and a few rally cars... well i have decited to turn my wrecked (some what) camry into a desert racer... i have found a 3in. coil spacer for the car (to give it a little more ground clearence)... i am also going to take the fenders off (and build custom ones) take off the back doors, and just sheet metal them (save weight) build myself some skid plates move the gas tank to the trunk/back seat area, and build myself a roll cage... then it is off to the dunes/desert i go (hopefully it will hold up) and i am going to get myself one of those detatchable winches (just in case)....
i know it sounds dumb... but i have a max of 300$ to spend on the building part of this, most of the stuff ill be welding on myself and the stuff like the gas tank i have a friend that specializes in desert race trucks, he is the one that gave me the whole idea in the first place..
ill keep you guys posted on the project and if it ends up it flops on its ass then o well ill use it as target practice after i part it out.
well comment back on what you guys think

i can't barely figure out how the camry will look like. ok, let's see what will happen next. are you going to add some accessories or even will upgrade their auto parts to turn them on to a real race car?
I can't wait to see that! If it works it'll be badass. Does your car have a auto or 5spd?
auto but for now that will be fine till we figure out if it is going to work or not... i am just going the cheapest way possible and if it ends up working out and not breaking ill do more to it leter
