Steering rack bushings were already taken care of.

I might stitch weld the engine bay, but havent decided if I want to mess with it yet. There are a few areas I plan on reinforcing though.

I remember when you posted that a few years ago. Luckily my car is more superficial compared to that seeing as I didnt kiss a wall. I just scooped up a cavalier and it sat on my hood.

I got the motor apart the other night. With over 200k its amazingly clean. I'll post up pictures of the motor later today.

I found out why my motor fell flat on its face past 5.5k. The intake runners where nasty as all hell. The intake ports on the head where extremely clean though thanks to lucuas injector cleaner stuff.

Did a little bit of work today. Tomarrow the real magic happens (unless im too lazy)

Removed the last part of the core support and took out the battery tray.
\

Cut and pounded most of the lower damage back into place and got a good battle plan for tomarrows work.


Dosnt look like much but its alot better than before.
