      Nice Werk with the speedo install Mang.

      Just wondering, do you still have the Dual Heater Pipes installed on your engine? That was the best thing about the '86, imo.

        The thing on the lower intake? Yeah I have them still. A lot better than those fugly hoses that they used every other year.

              Yeah I'm fine. Car needs radiator support, radiator, condensor, fan, fan shroud, transmission cooler. Header panel, drivers side fender, hood, bumper. On the drivers side, where the frame bolts to the radiator support, and up to where it bolts to the bumper, has been pulled inward towards the center of the car. I will have pics of that later.

                      I hate it when that happens.

                      Tis ok John. You aren't broken, and the car is fixable. I cracked up my '88, and had to replace the same stuff you are looking at (but I hit it on the PS front).

                      I didn't have to do the bumper though, as I plowed under the back of a pick-up truck (at about 40).

                      Glad you weren't injured.

                        I'm thinking you punched it to go sideways around that corner, and as the car got away from you, you nailed the brakes to stop, only to discover that the brake pedal was hard (no vacuum due to having it floored a moment ago), making the brakes useless, and since you weren't able to stop, the tree halted your forward progress?

                          Damn!, that really blows mang. At least you weren't hurt though. The entire Front Clip is easily replaceable, you only need to worry about if the frame is tweaked or not.

                            The frame is tweaked, but I am hoping that it is able to be untweaked, it was bent inward in between where it bolts to the radiator support, and where the bumper bolts to it on the drivers side. When the pics upload, I will post them. Thanks to Phil, AKA Brown Muscle, I was able to get most of the crap off today. I will post pics when they finish uploading.
