    Replaced the RUCAs, all control arm bushings, and new alignment bolts - and a fresh alignment. Car feels so......."not old." Ha! The only things left to make it "feel right" is a new clutch (this thing is slipping on OEM power - can't even chirp off the line).

    Heard back from the shop re: Madison. She's going to need a new hood, and headlight. The bumper cover is good, the radiator support is good. They are willing to paint/install the new hood, shave the front emblem. Supposedly everything should be ready by Friday.

    The good news is that the body shop painted/installed the hood, and says it looks killer. The car *should* be ready to go today.

    The bad news is that the hood's catch is missing, and they will not release the car to me, until it can be properly secured. Also, the replacement headlight housing showed up damaged, so they are waiting on another one.

    Hopefully the seller has the latch laying around and can ship it to me quickly. otherwise, and I'd really hate to do this, I might be installing a set of aerocatches.

    the OEM catch will not transfer over, unfortunately.

    EDIT: Seller removed the latch whilst cleaning up the hood, should be packaged and shipped out tomorrow.

    I took out the 175,000 mile motor and dropped in a 47,000 mile VVT motor that happen to have come from JDM land (Yo!) with the flat-top intake manifold and Maxim Works Header!
