I hope I can fix all the damage done on my own and could really use some help. First off I used to be on here about 10 years ago but don’t remember any of my log in info so i stared a new account. I had just bought my new cb7 and with in a week it got stolen. I was hoping that the thief was someone that knew what they were doing but no luck. It looks like they used a pry bar to bend the door open and messed up the top of the door as well as broke out the window. Somehow they also managed to rip the drivers side mirror off as well. They then punched the ignition and cut the wires.
I hope I can load the pics to find out if I actually need a whole new door or if it’s just the molding. The door looks like it is bent out but it could be the molding making it look that way.
the door glass, mirror and ignition/wiring is all dependent on just buying them. I’m sure I can find most of this stuff at Pull & Save.
my next thought is that we (cops, tow driver and I) could not get the car to start. The battery was good enough to turn on the head lights and there were a few popped fuses so no interior lights. What other reasons could I be looking at for the no crank no start? For all I know they killed the engine or fried some other electrical system. I don’t know how to hot wire a car.
out side of the smashed window and busted mirror everything else seems to be there. It is gonna suck hauling all this stuff on the bus system but I’ll figure it out. Priority number one is at least find a new drivers door window so I can keep the weather out and lock the door.
I know this is gonna be a fun project car once I get it back up and running.
