Curious.

1. What do you mean "inspection 9:44"?

2. By chance STIG is referring to Top Gear?

Scratch the no accidents, in december of 04 apperently it was in an accident. Still a great deal though, i finally ran a carfax. I have no idea what happened in the accident. I had my suspicions but this is the proof.

I think it was minor damage to the front right of the car, i think the side fender was replaced as was the bumper and headlight, and as of right now that headlight bracket is broken. Well i still love the car and wouldnt sell or think less of it.

The Bumper Brackets are finally here, they were $50 shipped for the brackets to hold the center section of the bumper. I've had the bumper in my possesion for a few weeks now, The bumper will be installed over this next weekend, for the simple fact that i cannot do this without air-tools and grinders and a lift.

Why do you need a lift? I understand you need powertools since you've got a **** ton of rust...

I did it in my driveway twice...
