I had to reinstall the stock fan without the shroud as the 3 row caused the fan to rub the stock shroud. I got an estimate for almost $7K to do all the external bodywork and paint. I'll get another couple estimates before I decide what to do. I media blasted the Magnum wheels and painted them Argent Silver. Not sure if I'll mask and paint the inner part black as it used to be as I'll likely buy some new chrome wheels.
I disconnected one of the horns as it seemed they wouldn't work consistently with two. I just got it inspected today.... and it passsed MO... I replaced the upper ball joints on both sides and adjusted the driver side strut rod to assist with the alignment. It pulled strong to the ledft and now just ever so slightly. I'll take it back for them to try it again now. I also had to pull the front rock shield as it was bent along with the fender causing it to rub the new P205/70/R14 Douglas tires I got cheap from Walmart.
11/04/2006 - I dropped it off today a local body shop to get the rear quarters and wheel wells replaced and primed ready for paint for $1000. My friend referred me and had nothing but praise for the 5 cars he'd had done.
