Well...they couldn't get to all of it. He said to bring it back in a few months to give him a break from it Lol #oldmanproblems

[ikethegreat]

A few months?!  Is it a family member or something doing it on the side?

[CrackerTeg]

That's what happens when you buy a car that the previous owner had beaten with a bat. I don't blame the old man for wanting a break.

[Nit3h4wk C0uP3]

No not a family member. Just a retired 70+ year old guy with a body shop. Lol. I guess I don't blame him either..

So update time. In a mad dash to get my summer wheels on before this past Saturday, i dropped the car off in Manchester and picked it up Friday. Tires mounted, and installed. To be honest the wheels are wider than I expected. This whole thing has been a very much learn as I go lol.. I'm higher than I was when I dropped the car off. I really like the flush look, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do at this point. What have we learned from this children? 9.5 is too wide. 8 is better ROFL. Here's some pics..













Then I drove the car home.... ROFL. So then this happened..





Many thanks to F-Auto in Whitman MA!!! Sam is such a nice guy, and saved my butt!! I was really nervous to do this on my own. Don't hate lol..

Here's a few pics from this weekend!!!!









So yeah, I'm thinking I have a few options. I can either take it as a learning experience, and just work towards getting new wheels, go a bit lower to close the gap, OR get some small fender flares and go lower. I'm checking out each option. I love the view from the side, although i think it's a little high.  Honest Thoughts?? It's ok, I can take it... ROFL..  On a positive note, the car drives a lot smoother and quieter, and new fog lights should be here this week.

I like the new wheels.  Maybe go a bit lower.  I'd skip the fender flares though. 

I can't believe that guy didn't put the car on jack stands to roll the fenders...

[Nit3h4wk C0uP3]

Updates and etc.. Got everything ready to work on my fog lights with my friend Jason. Come to find out the 03 fog harness in my car is pinned differently than the 06 harness from the new set. The old switch was melted and was betting stuck:



Behold the warpage Lol. Ended up using a lighter and pliers and bent it back into shape. We get the switch working and go to install the lights only to find that the boxes for my headlights are so close to my fog light holes that the lights won't fit. :/


My front bumper was riveted on by the body shop. So there was no taking off of the bumper to relocate the boxes. Fog light install stops there Lol



On another note, these ended up in my trunk this weekend Z rocks! I have some driveway patching to do before these are installed. #lower
