I am in the process on non-sequentialing my FD. Followed Landers write up which is pretty straight forward.

But Kyle can do all his own body work, so there's that.

I wouldn't hesitate too long. If the bones are good, and interior is good then it will sell QUICK. Remember, most guys don't leave the body stock, so they don't care about faded paint and shit.

PS- the wheels look

DJ I agree the wheels look like butthole. But I can find some stockers I'm sure. I see them on CL all the time.

In this FD's defense, JK's FD was pretty gnarly when he got it, now it's pretty slick.

Still and FD, but I guess acceptable.

Yea it's stupid ho much stuff is for a fd.

Well someone has apparently already said they were putting a deposit down. Bryan said he'd let me know but I don't have much hope.

I like the duck bill type spoilers on FDs. Yours is looking quite nice.


By the way. I need the name of a reputable quality body shop that's near by the boro. Someone just backed into my wife's car.

Why? Pocketing the insurance money and fixing it yourself? Cause that's what I always do
