my car starts and it has AC. Yours doesn't start and it has no AC. Seems obvious to me.

I had the brake rotors on my Malibu split in half on the driver's side. Right before they split I thought my master cylinder was going because the pedal would go up and down when the brakes were applied. Turned out that the rotors where bending the whole time.
I can never understand how dents get on top of a hood. I got dents on the hood of my mom's CV. Unless my parents are sliding across the hood Dukes of Hazzard style, I don't know how the dents got there.
BTW, that car is gonna look good when it's done! You might want to slap on a crappy set of wheels when you send the car out; just in case.

remove the god damn trim please. You will be much much happier getting a repaint with everything removed.~David~

Sorry im not messing with the trim. Later on I'll pull it off and have it done in a slightly different color just for you i kid i kid, but right now I don't have the time to do it myself or the money to pay for the extra work.
But yea the when my break pad shattered my pedal wen right to the floor and i thought i had just lost all my break fluid.
Edit: And the dents are from hail in PA. Also i ran into a wall one time and a chunk of concrete broke off and landed on my hood.Last edited by insomniac391; 09-16-2009, 09:01 PM.

Very nice. You have access to any aluminum rear window trim? That would look the best.~David~

Salvos a junkyard? Some Crown Vics came with the aluminum rear trim that matches the front windshield trim. No custom made stuff here...cost you an arm and a leg~David~
