        • Front Bumper Cover

          Removed the bumper cover & preped everything for painting. Washed cover, cleaned with Acetone. Cleaned metal underbumper with steel wool( a little rust), wiped with Acetone, & painted with Rustolem "Rust Reformer", will paint with Black rustolem beform re-assembley. Thinkin' about replacing horn with something with a liitle more power/volume. What a pain gettin' all those plastic screws7 fasteners off!! I think I invented some new names for them. Hope to get it all back togeather tomarrow!
          If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

          • What kind of paint did you use on the bumper cover?

            I used Krylon fusion on mine but the paint was fading and chipping before the wreck and now the paint is cracked.

                  front end the way it will remain.

                  Should I order red hydraulic plastic hose spiral wrap to put on the coil over??
                  I think it would look cool.

                  The front is where I want it, Makes my 13 snows look like kart tires!
                  should I raise the back more? the car looks level but ? It kinda looked
                  alright before higher in the back. Should I move the tires toward the back
                  in the rear?? The front tires are moved to the front about 1/2 inch and the
                  front is 2 inches wider...maybe I should get 1 inch spacers for the rear?

                  Almost time to order the new tires!!

                    Possibly Aspire. I forgot the engine/5 speed in "red" was from the Aspire. So discount that from memory, I'm sure I'm probably the only "lucky" guy with a 2 pc cable. LOL

                        • This past Sunday big block n I swapped out my speedo cable n cluster. So now I don't have to rely on my garmen for a speedo. Yesterday I got my new tires installed. Hopefully my kybs show up soon so I can install them this weekend. Plus reinstall the interior panels after patching the holes in the floor.

                          • .... I like that, that was a good idea. I may do something very similar. Do you have any trouble with rain on the ignition wires or distributor etc.

                            Thanks

                              • @movin - It doesn't look terrible or anything, but IMO it looked better from afar. LOL Ingenuity doesn't have to be pretty, and my opinion doesn't really count, though.
