that really sux d00d.... at least your car isnt in 10k different pieces though.Comment

The bay, not finished, still have to cut off the piece that is folded down...
And the only reason i had to do it was from damage from a accident, soo anyone elsee wont have to hack up there core support , adn it will probrbaly be a little cleaner like mike moss's.

bah that really sux... does the frame feel less rigid with that cut?Comment

nah..is the same ole same ole protege. It was already alittle damaged in the first place. I tried to get it pulled forward, but it wasnt the same. Once i clean it up, it wont be that bad. Lookin into buying one of those nice core support covers that all the cool cars have and maybe drill it on or get it welded..Comment

ITS ALIVE!!!!
got the spindle, problems fixed. Only thing left is to wait for my wrench to get here so i can tighten up the axle bolt. But i drove it up the street right , wuick with a hand tightend axle bolt...which is bad. But i had to make sure the spindle was good. And its all good... now more waiting......Comment

WEll, it drives got the spindle on , just still got to work on the idleing, and find the crazy vaccum lose i got somewhere. BUt i got to floor it down the street once, and maaaaaaaaaaan its everything it should be. Definately worth it. I florred it spun 1st, Spun 2nd, hit 3rd and spun it a bit aswell. Than i slowed down. ive got one problem tho, the stupid control arm bolt keeps spinning when im trying to tighten it... Anyone know any tricks to fix this? Or do i just need to replace the boot thats around, b/c its torn which is probrabl y why its spinning in the first place.. (btw i just thought of that while i was typing...lol)Comment
