Think I will start on the front and work my way back. I know the driver rear panel is likely to be replaced. Overall, I think the car is in decent condition considering it sat for 10 years. I know it needs work but if it just sits there I'm not motivated to do things. If it is usable then I will use it and am more motivated to fix things. > More funny things to mention about Samuel's car: the > previous owner butchered the connections to the cooling fans > and started running new wires to power them.

I'm going to swap the trailing arm bolts out anyways with better bolts so the toe-in wont last long. Samuel Yahoo!
