Pics of the car now that the suspension is all the way settled.

 

Very Sexy mate!

 

That does look pretty sick. What's up with the front bumper there? Looks a little saggy.

 

Well the car was wrecked before I bought it. The wreck was enough to blow all the air bags.

I need to send it to a body shop to fix the right side.

The cover itself was due to a 2 foot section of tractor trailer tire that was kicked up into me. It tore the cover and took the radiator out at the same time

So it needs to go to a body shop eventually and I need a new R bumper cover.

 

I am soooooo jealous, just maybe someday, maybe!!!

 

yo man i love those headlights where did you find those cause all i can find in the black housing is the projectors and i don't like those

 

I got these headlights off e-bay. Pretty sure they are the same as what tech has:



Here is a link to them:

One set I got from autorice.com but last I checked they did not have them anymore.

I have seen them on e-bay as well.

Jim I have black centers yours are chrome.

 

yeah i found them on ebay... cool thanks guys

 

The count down has started for the manual swap. Next Saturday it is getting done.
SO unless something goes wrong a week from today I will Officially be a manual transmission car!!!!!

 

Can't wait to see it. Now I have that song stuck in my head! (singing) it's the FINAL countdown..Tututu tutututu...............................lol.

 

Hey tech, how do you fix that bumper? I noticed that my rear bumper on my wagon is kinda saggy, doesn't look like it's been hit, but there's just a bigger gap than there should be.

 

Oh man.... Now it is in my head too. Thanks a lot. HA HA.

 

On the rear there is a screw on the side that goes into the body see if the stud broke or was ripped out.

 

oooh kay. I'm assuming these screws are what holds the bumper to the car then? And is the stud on the bumper or on the car itself?

 

That only holds the sides tight. The stud is mounted on the bumper cover and goes into the body and there is a nut that screws onto the stud.

 

Ok, so if it's sagging, it's the bumper then, not the car. Good, that makes me feel better, I was worried that I would have to get some big done to have the bumper look normal. So if the studs are saggy, I would probably just have to replace the bumper?

 

You will not know for sure till you get in there.

 

Ok, well is it something that regardless what the cause of the sag is could be easily fixed? I mean without doing some major body repair? I'm assuming clips and what not start to fail over time, so it would be a matter of replacing the clips/studs, regardless if they're on the bumper or on the car itself?

 

Pretty much yes. Remind me over the weekend and I will snap a pic of the bumper I have at home with the stud so you can see how it is.
