[QUOTE="NXGHOST, post: 5335423, member: 8186"] Here is the story as to why the came apart. Small things adding up basically I bought it from the original owner knowing it was in a small fender bender, it actually rolled down his driveway and hit his light post at the end. No major damage, just put a front upper rad support in it. They did a great job replacing it but the paint they used didnt quite match. I was going to try to spray just those parts but there was still quite a bit of work doing just that. Also, I wanted to redo the Valve covers and intake, the factory coating was dull and I have a brand new signature plaque I sure aint putting on ugly valve covers! Taking the valve covers off these cars with the engine in sucks! I also had a slight leak on a hydroboost line, have fun changing one of those in the car! Last year when I did the longtube headers for the life of me could not get the dipstick tube in. I tried for hours then finally just blocked the hole! I had no dipstick tube! I wanted to do IMRC deletes while I am putting the blower on. I wanted to add the cooloing mod to the rear heater core tube. All o the above made it make sence to just remove the drivetrain and do it right! If not I would be taking shiat off around the block and likely freak out. The undercarrige was totally rust free. However the factory color was grey and after I had the Subframes (Which were black) they simply spraybombed black tremclad rust paint over the welds, same goes for the welded Torque boxes, spray painted black. It simply ruined a perfectly clean undercarrige and I wanted it all to match again. So you can see it actually made sence to just rip it apart, do it once, do it right. I used to drive the daily but because I now only drive it weekends to cruise nights, I wanted it to be a wow. At least when I am finally done I know I wont have to fack around with it for a while.
