Update: picking up a NHBP undamaged 07 trunk this upcoming Monday. So the only thing I need is the rear bumper, and some parts for wiring up my tails. As soon as the weather is clear of the awful white stuff I'm off to the body shop to get all the dents fixed and the front end as well.

Edit: In an effort to better understand my engine, or any internal combustion engine, I purchased a plastic kit from Smithsonian. Lots of little plastic parts, and probably not the best representation of the heavy greasy engine. But half way through it now, I can understand how important a timing belt is, and an oil pan. I'm still building and i've had to take it apart twice already. It's frustrating and fun lol.

I had such a great day at the garage.  It was very enlightening. I guess all this happened since my inspection a month ago #suspiscious

Second opinion perhaps?

[gargantula99]

If that's true, how is it drive able? I would also get a second opinion.

[Nit3h4wk C0uP3]

Yup. The service advisor I was working with left. I believe the cv boot and sway bar links. My steering has felt a little off. But I'm getting a second opinion on the rest.

OK update: I have collected all the parts I need to finish the 7.5 rear conversion. I got a black trunk lid and bumper from Brown's Salvage yard in Winchendon MA (highly recommend this place) and I got the tails from a member in V6P. I'll have my friend Jason help with the wiring and some rusty bolts.

Also...May 11th I'm dropping the car off at a local body shop. They're keeping it most of the week. They're going to fix all the dents on the car and find out what's up with my front end. Replacing the front with an 06 bumper and grill. I know I'll have to mod my lip to fit. I can't friggin wait!

Finished the 7.5 conversion last weekend with Rob's help. it looks weird I know. It took less than 4 hours with the two of us working on it. The tail lights were fairly straighforward, the new bumper attached the same as the old, and the trunk was only 4 bolts and some wires. I think we blew a fuse while messing with the trunk. I'll know more tomorrow. The new trunk opens and closes a lot smoother than my old one.

Looking good Denny!  Once it hits the body shop, it is going to look great.

Nice work Denny. It'll be ready for next month, right?

[Nit3h4wk C0uP3]

Body work will be done, might still be running around on stock wheels though lol

[Nit3h4wk C0uP3]

Picked the car up today! They couldn't get to every dent, I'll have to go back some other time. They said it was a wiring nightmare. Warren said to give him a break from my car and call him in a few months. They fixed a bunch of things they didn't need to. So I def appreciate it. My next thing is OEM fog lights and the elusive 7.5 rear lip!

[Rich01]

Nice!

Dope !

[Nit3h4wk C0uP3]

I can't stop taking pics. A little headlight resurfacing soon. Hoping to get tires the first week of June if life doesn't get in the way ROFL. We all know how that goes lol

[ikethegreat]

I thought you got that rear panel dent fixed?
