Found this "race car" on ebay, thought I would share if anyone is interested. I find the 5 1/2inch drop interesting enough.
Enjoy

If he wasn't so far away i'd buy it in a heartbeat. Winter beater for sure. I'd like to buy a geo for under $300 if possible, if anyone knows where i can find one let me know whats up!

I'm sure it's worth more than the entire car itself anyway!

The ones I love:
" The car is dropped 5 1/2” from original springs"
Im a little :eyebrow: as to how the car is not setting on the ground. I would guess a stock geo has maybe 6" of ground clearance.
Also Im not great with cars like that, but my guess is thats a 1993 Suzuki Swift:

Not unless those are his "Aftermarket Head Lights" & he really just did a swift front end conversion seeing the 2 cars are the same thing..

5 1/2 inch drop...
Looks like 2 inches in the front and 3.5 inches in the back... That equals 5 1/2 , right? Of course only 2 inches in the back were from the lowering, the other inch and a half is from it getting slammed in the tailend...
Does the idea of putting this back together following the kid's attention-deficit-laden first attempt give anyone else the chills? It'd be different maybe if the blown motor was in it and they had the other too, but to have the original ripped out by someone else and then come in and hook it all back up? I'll pass. Besides, after all that work, you'd have a beat-to-crap POS that will start showing all the other parts that are failing in no time...
If I were the seller, I would contact the highest bidder and beg them to come take it for half the bid. They'll probably end up having to pay to have this hauled to the scrapyard...
