LOL yea that's an ugly site.. I prob could have saved it with some good ole JB weld, but i wanted to swap my car to 5 speed anyway. Well, i'll update with a lil progress in a few days.

Fixed that for you. No need to thank me.

I covered that in the "etc." I love ford though.. idk honestly, i could care less which one. Whichever, shows up on CL for 1000 and under when i'm ready lol

Yah, I totally agree with them. I'm getting a daily, but it'll be a cold day in hell before i raise my car. lol
i was 15 mins off from getting a Celica gts as a daily, but 15 mins is a big difference. So, in the near future i'll get something like another Accord, Acura TL,RL,CL, or a small truck (toyota)

It's nice to have a good daily though.

This is actually a pretty cool build! Sorry to hear bout the bad luck though!

You're a pretty cool project jk
Thanx for the condolences, but it's the all a part of teh game. Low is Lifesyle. I live it everyday. I just had an argument with my GF and Dad about why my car is so low. They tell me I need to get another car (agreed), but until i do i should raise it back up to drive I told them H...L NO this is me my lifestyle! This is just as incidental as having a 4 tire blowout or spin out into a ditch. So, don't isolate me being slammed to prove a point.

LOL Wait? why am I telling you this? hahaha Venting! sorry bro

[aLaFleur]

Looks like you're leaking something there bud.

Before:

We made a JY trip to obtain a new headlight bezel and a bumper bracket; aside from a few other misc. things to aggravate you on a daily basis(door charm sensor, ashtray assembly,etc).
because the corner light bracket snapped

I'm so dumb i forgot to take pictures of the whole process. So, all i have is the assembled piece(not installed on the car)

(i realize the light is broken. so, i need to pick another one)

Jake, Eric and I had so much fun fitting the bumper over a half dozen times The final product. It still needs to be tweak a little, but i'm happy for now

So, i know you guys are super pissed because i still don't have the rear hubs and wheel on, but it's still my main priority. I've bought the knuckles and everything to install them. Just was waiting until Tuesday to buy tires

These would have been installed this Tuesday or wednesday, but the Low Lifestyle has its dividends

This happened today on my way back from church. Heading to Khols. There was a unfinished portion of the road and the city bolted down a steel plate to cover it. Needless to say, the rain and the placement of the repair was Perfect!!!
Trans case vs Steel plate =
