              Guess once everything's in there, screwed down, it ain't really going anywhere. Kind of figuring on doing a little "plastic welding" on mine.

                          Replaced the drivers side fender

                          As you can see this fender has seen better days.. everytime I opened and closed the door it would scrape against the door..



                          Heres the replacement for now, later on I'll get one that matches the rest of the car or paint this one to match.





                          And installed, no more of the fender scraping against the door

                            New front struts w/cut springs installed







                            How it sits with no extra wieght in the car.




                            How it sits with me in the car.. which is only 140lbs :lol:




                            Should look real nice after the aspire swap is on, and I get some 14" wheels on it
