New Issue of GRM: How to Rebuild a Wreck

I live in Louisville and still haven't gotten it!

I still think my mail man reads it first, but he has several semi-junk trucks he daily drives and is building a Fox body drag car. Can you ship them in a jacket that gives subscription discounts to mail men? Just do it for the ones going to Louisville and we should both come out ahead

Interesting but I try not to leave enough to rebuild.

These things go together.

Waiting... Still waiting.

I got Classic Motorsports on Friday so I can't imagine GRM is far behind. Excited for this issue.

Give us a call, Swank. 877-677-6878

I will try, but i kindof work hours that eclipse typical business hours. Unless someone will answer on Saturday?

Yep, the elves work on Saturday (and Sunday) 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EDT. During the week, they're there 7 a.m. to 12 a.m.

We got us some busy elves :)

You are not alone. I do generally get my copy earlier than just about everyone but still hasn't shown up. I think someone jumped the gun on promoting this issue cough, cough, Tommy...

Very timely. I have stepped in to the world or rebuilding things from the repairable lot at a local pick and pull. They get some high end cars that usually have mechanical issues. I can not wait to see the article. The biggest thing I have learned is keep track of the money and map out a plan with real numbers from on line sources before you purchase your wrecks. When I am done with the rebuild of my latest car I will be updating my build thread with an accounting of time money and an impression of the final product. I can also say that if you do enough of these you are eventually going to run in to a money pit. Just part of the game.

Actually, I started a little bit too late–today is the last day to request a free copy. Ask for one tomorrow, and you'll be mailed the next issue.

So has the latest issue(May??) mailed yet?

If I ask for a free copy, can I get the next issue now?

If you ask for a free copy right now, you'll be put on the list for the June issue.

In reply to spitfirebill:

Yes. You should have it shortly.

For all of us "currently non-subscribers" when should I look for the "Rebuild a wreck" issue in the store?

mrwillie----- The official on-sale date is April 7. After that point the magazine will be on news-stands---- as long as someone hasn't grabbed the last issue yet.

Of course....you'll save $$ by subscribing instead of buying at the store--- and with all the money you save, you can buy more groovy stuff for your car!

Fixed the cover for you Tommy....

In reply to Joe Gearin:

Yep. I know. I miss getting my "special package" out of the mail box.

Ok, this is worrying to me. I got the issue today and while reading through it, I was browsing IAAI. I found an E36 325i in Oregon with a salvage "theft" title. I live in NJ and go to college in St. Louis. UH OH.

I am now a registered public bidder on IAAI and I haven't even finished reading the case studies in the article.

Any GRM'ers in Oregon able to look at a car for me? Any GRM'ers able to ship a car for me/store a car for me?

In reply to MINIzguy:

Where in Oregon?

It's at the Portland IAAI location. 4415 NE 158th Avenue, Portland, OR 97230-4933.

After thinking about this, it is probably a pipe dream to actually end up with this car. My resources and cash are pretty limited being a college student from the east coast, going to school in the midwest, and wanting a car from the west coast.

good issue - i really thought it was a home run. Thank you

Really enjoyed this issue

That GTI is awesome

Thanks! And yeah, that GTI was a blast. I really, really need one.
