Hey, y'all. My name is David, and I just drug home a new project - a 2008 Chevy Cobalt SS coupe. It needs some major electrical help and a few things under the hood, but I couldn't resist the price. First thing first, she needs a bath, but I have to get the windows up first! Here she is when we got home. I'll post updates as things progress. Looking forward to the project!

 

Nice, more background info? Why is it so dirty?

 

Hey, Slowbalt. I bought it from a lady a few hours away and towed it home on Friday. It belonged to her daughter, but she apparently will be in the state penitentiary for a decade or so... I picked it up with no keys and no title for a couple hundred bucks. It had been sitting in her back yard under a tarp for at least a year, so who knows when it was last washed. I towed it home but since the windows were stuck down I didn't take it through the spray wash as usual. I got the windows up today by jumping 12v to the motors, so now it's about the get the foam cannon.

 

Welcome aboard. What a deal. Could become a very pleasant project of beauty.🏋️

 

Welcome

 

Welcome. What's the process like for getting a title on a no-title vehicle? I have never gone through it but always avoided it.

 

It varies state to state, but it's typically a pain in the ass. A mechanic's lien is usually the easiest route around here if you know a shop that's willing to help. Or in Mississippi you can title bond it if you have a friend down there to "sell" the car to. But generally, you're just buying a parts car. Either way I'm good. I did at least run a VIN check before I picked it up to make sure it wasn't stolen or totaled/salvage.

 

Nice too see another Tennessean, did you buy that near Jackson?

 

Yep. Found it on fb marketplace!

 

Thought so, looks like the one in the add I saw but I never had time to go check it out.

 

Welcome!
