Default what i have been working on this week *pics*

So i've had a series of unfortunate events in the past month.

went across state, and in one day i cracked my windshield and scraped up the bumper real bad. It's definitely bad timing with HIN Seattle coming up in about a month.

Windshield is being replaced tomorrow, and the bumper will have to be touched up, until i can come up with the money to get it resprayed.

in the meantime, i decided to take my struts out and get them machined so i can have the car sit 3/4" lower in the front, since im too cheap to buy coils

next week i start on replacing the axles too.


here are a few pics of everything.


here is the strut. you can see the original groove toward the bottom of the picture, the new groove is where the clip is sitting

that's a misdemeanor, next time i'll have to arrest you for doing that to your car. do you have any paint? if so there's a scratch repair diy. hopefully your car is ready and stays ready for the show good luck man. and as always, you got one hell of a sexy ride.

i'm gonna have to pickup some touchup paint this next week. i've had to repair minor things before so i know what i gotta do.

gonna have to sand down the area a little bit, then touch it up, then wetsand and buff. it's not gonna be perfect, but the goal is to make it less noticeable for now.
