That looks like a fun project. But like everyone else said, good god, I wish I had a junk yard like that around where I live.

Well I definatly wouldnt suggest anyone take on a car like mine unless you have friends that do bodywork and I aint talking bout bondo or fiberglass. LOL

Im saving thousands of dollars in bodyshop costs, so patience is all this is going to take.

No new pics till tommorow (one of the big updates as far as parts go). However today we did remove the last two heatshields (DP/Exhaust) that remained and we solved the infamous 2700-2900rpm rattling.

Now the bad news, well not that bad. Somehow while removing the last of the heatshields we pulled on what seemed an already damaged sparkplug wire. So now my car viberates like a V8 domestic and sounds like a superpowered golfcart when its picking up speed. Picking up new plugs and wires in the morning. (lol)

Edit: We also moved the harness connection to a MUCH MUCH better spot, bolted DIRECTLY to the chassis. Not a complete solved problem (till the roll bar comes in), but it is now MUCH more safe and secure than the crappy rigged job from before.
