Are you still up for the weekend or do you want to postpone? Need any help?

 

Those steel arm a parts are so cheap I carry spares with me for my track car. Tie rods are a bit more expensive though.. In pinch you can hammer to ok and re align. Then replace it when you can. I did that on my race car and it worked fine after bents stuff running into a berm.

 

Yep the parts are cheap, I just did them on my '84. You doin' ok on the wrenchin' part? If its not on the road tomorrow night, give me a shout I can help.

 

DAmian- that sucks. I know you have parts on the way, but in hindsight- did you try
RENNBAAAAYY!!!

Did you call Travis? He may have them already built. Not so sure about the steel a-arms, I know he has some aluminum ones ready to swap.

 

OK guys, everything looks good, just screwed up the control arm and the tie rod.....And the rim is bent...and tirerack told me that they R on backorder for up to 4 weeks....But luckily a guy here in town I know will let me use his rim till then, unless someone has a rim for me to buy, and it would have to be like new though...? I shall call rennbay in the morning in regards to a rear control arm bushing, and a inner tie rod....Also how do you remove the tie rod, thought I would ask to save me some time......


As far as this weekend goes. I think we should just plan on next saturday....As my car will be back together by then, so I will also be able to cruise, as we will cruise....And that will also give me some time to get organized for visitors...And michelle, I promise ya we will do your wing first thing, I have the proper adhesive here for ya, and anything else we might need....so no worrys....And I will make a post about the get together for next weekend then...

Thank you all for your advice, and quick responses in regards to parts...once again pays for another yr of membership, with out a doubt....

I will post some pics of the control arm in a bit, its pretty screwed up, but it took absorbed all of the impact, saved everything else in a way....

Ah, shoot. I was planning on coming up maybe but now I can't, I'll be out of town next weekend and I'll have my car done by then too. O well, maybe next time.

8/6 should be okay with me. Lemme know.

 

He stated that he wasn't paying attention to the road and going too fast. Life isn't about what everyone else can do for you.

Good luck with the repair and thankfully the splitter wasn't damaged.

 

That's a nice breath of fresh air.
