word, it went out.

I noticed that there was a light in the rear right tail, top rectangle, that had a dim element for tail, but the brake light in that section was strong, light is off now, and that element for tail is now bright, so it's either a bad element or buld. not sure if there's 2 bulbs or a single dual element. $3 fix with a new bulb, no biggie.

No a major overhaul at all. Even the way it is the panels almost line up perfect between the hood and fender, it's just wide and the hood is kinked.

Once the strut tower is pulled out another 1/4", and I put on a new hood it's gonna line up perfect. This is not a big task, it's very small.

The top rail of the core support is just a single thin stamped piece of sheet metal. It's not even structural, it is nothing more than a mounting 'bracket'. It will take me 1 hour to drill out the spotwelds and spot weld the new one in. Easy, and that's the most 'major' part I have left.

Simple simple.

You know when you know how to pull frames a 1/4in here and there, drill out the welds to get it perfect straight, Easy is a relative term!

That thing will be great when its done! and CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP! I bet a 1/20 of the price of most guys on this board! the best thing is after you do the body, motor and interior need almost nothing! and you have a super nice car!

Something that will last you many many years, of course you could pay 10k and 4k in retarded 22" chrome rims like some people around here and basically have the same car.....Nice job man!!!
