Hello Everyone, My name is Adam and this is my first post. Just purchased my first suv, which happens to be the h3. I previously totaled the love of my life. So after flipping 3 times with the top down, i said enough to sport cars. worst part is i had no insurance! I paid cash for the car and obviously lost everything. So i decided to save up and purchase an H3. Which would keep me from speeding and will serve my needs since i snowboard,fish,hike,hunt,etc... But becuase im very young and dont have alot of money (plus getting over my huge financial loss) i purchased an H3 that was repossessed. Try to save some money here...lol so below are the pictures of my old beast and the new one. While the project goes on, please give me your input and ideas! Just remember my budget is limited.

2007 H3








FINALLY FINISHED!!!! TOOK HER OUT IN THE SNOW!!!



IN THE SNOWWW

 

really needs some rubber huh? and a few other parts! good going, dont flip this one

 

Im sure you will speed in the H3 but not as fast as the S2k. Good luck with the H you will have fun with it.

 

Since the grill is broken, it would be a good time to try to find a body colored one, so you can rid yourself of that garish chrome one.

 

Yeah, im hoping i wont flip this one! And yes i already ordered a plastic grill. which i will spray with bedliner

 

Get some insurance while you search for the grill and fender!

 

contact brodie at www.Ridgedemon.com he can get you parts in like new condition for cheap... looks like you body lines my be off a bit, or just the hood isnt sitting right w/o the other fender...

 

Hey i have a PROBLEM!! NO key for the gas cap!!! does this meen i need to drill the lock??

 

HOLD ON!! Don't know if that's such a good idea. Motors in power drills give off sparks! Assuming nothing blows up, you could also get shavings in the fuel tank as your drill goes through the lock cylinder. Best bet, see if there's a code number on the cylinder that your local locksmith can make you a duplicate. No number?......you could try a 'slide hammer'. It has a threaded end that you would thread into the cylinder, then give the slide hammer a quick jerk and see if it pops the cylinder out. Good luck!

 

I havent updated the project because havent done anything major on it. i did change the passanger nuckle ( since one of the loops snapped.) also oredered a black body color grill and just dropped off at the shop for them to check for frame damage. should have it back in a few days... also i have seen that one drop every other day of the differential oil. already got the new gasket and royal purple, anything else i gotta know before doing this? thanks
