Bless a Car Enthusiast
Rex's Story
"I spent 2 years trying to find one of these. I finally did. But the motor and trans are hard to get parts for. And with a 5 year old I need it to be reliable and have ac. I ended up laying out a vq35de swap, that wasn't gonna cost nearly as much as a sbc rebuild and overdrive trans. So now I'm just need the a few thinks that I cant skimp out on. Like guages, a shifter relocation kit. I've have to regear and find a different rear axle. I've gotta fix wire in the car. And a bunch of over little things so me and my daughter can enjoy our car together."
This fundraiser is part of Bless A Car Enthusiast’s community-driven Vehicle Assistance Program. Our mission is simple: help people repair their vehicles. Funds raised go directly toward helping cover the cost of vehicle repairs, parts, and related expenses for this enthusiast. In some cases, payments may be made directly to a repair shop or used to purchase parts on their behalf to ensure the funds are used as intended. No donation is required to be considered for assistance. Donations are completely voluntary and support our ability to keep vehicles on the road and projects moving forward. If you or someone you know needs assistance, head to our website and fill out the application to be considered. https://blessacarenthusiast.com/pages/assistance-application A small portion of funds may be used to cover platform fees and operational costs necessary to sustain the program. We believe every dollar adds up—week by week, dollar by dollar—and together we can make a real impact. Thank you for being part of it.
