Thank you, they are quite delicious when they're not all beat up. I need a new rear bumper
![]() I'm so bummed about that donor car getting sold ![]() ![]() But I guess I didn't move quick enough. I went and looked at it last Sunday, it all seemed pretty solid. I planned on coming back, but... such is life. ![]() Damn it, typing all that out made me depressed again ![]() ![]()

To add insult to injury, the donor TII car was given for free to a guy who has no idea about the car at all.

Today was a much nicer day than we've been having around here lately (sun was out and it was actually a little warm), and I decided I needed to do something to this car. So after I finished mowing the lawn (20 dolla, wut?), I threw the front end in the air and looked for something to do. My front subframe has a ton of surface rust, and is just generally crusty and in need of cleaning. So I went at it for a while, and about 2 hours later ended up with this:

I currently have them at the front of the 'rails' on the underside of the car, but to be honest, that spot makes me uncomfortable as hell. Also, how do I jack the front end up and down without the subframe?
