I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

JDM tails are easily bought off ebay. They are much cheaper than they used to be, some already in the 100's range. They used to be in the 200-300 range.

Thank You, They don't call me a Mad Scientist for nothing. I wish it came with the engine, I have the Superstrut but its missing both knuckles and calipers.
So if I can get ahold of those parts yes I will do the Superstrut.
Next is painting the engine bay World Rally Blue Pearl with tons of clear

if you havent already you need to swap over the top bumper mount from rad support of st205 .. it is raised

in the middle for 205 bumper and hood .. this might be dumb question but why didn't you just use st205

rad support ..?

i needed a rad support for my st205 and ended up finding a st205 empty clip and drove across country to

pick up just to have correct bumper mounting and i wanted orginal part to fix st205

Because I bought the st204 rad support and fixed the car before I ever thought of doing the st205 swap.
No big deal I can change just the top brace

If i had $5,000 right now, It would be done in about 2 months . But since I just got laid off who knows when
It will be done. I have lots of time no money.
