These idiots that "built" this car did that too... they chopped the fronts and heated the rears... heated them to the point that the springs fell out when I lifted the car..

The front end wasnt that bad.. I had it done by myself in roughly 7 hours.. I replaced everything except the control arms themselves.

Last time I did a front end it took me almost two days . I snapped a couple bolts freakin sucked . Not to mention the shop I hired to do the a-arm bushings bent the sh*t out of one . Had to wait till the next day to get the replacement .

Wow, that paint job is what happens when you mix whiskey and a paint gun. What color are you going with? or are you just getting rid of the graphics?
BTW,great job on the front end.

Sanding and redoing all body work.. these people cut so many corners..

Probably go back with the orange with no graphics. Plan on changing the wheels to something else. I also need to roll fenders.

The paint is atrocious. .. but that will be fixed shortly.
