Even better, i just found someone thatll do my frame work for cheap. Ima just ride with 2-3 tone car for now til i save up for a paint job. Things are slowly moving up, but honestly i couldnt have done it without my coworkers and boss. They collected money just to surprise me at our company dinner. Collected $530, which was enough for OEM parts haha. Even more better news, i got moved up from part time cook to full time, which i should be starting in a week or two, so more pay, more car fun! I feel blessed at the moment, i guess its true, when one door closes, another open haha

Glad things are looking up. Make sure that "cheap" frame work is also going to be quality, and that it gets done right.

Thanks RedRyder, I found the dude on cl, claims to have 15 years of exp. He also has a good amount of pictures to show his work too, so its a big risk im willing to take

Just a lil update since its been awhile, just received my baysonR oe lip right before i left for work this morning, my radiator should also be coming in today. And my cooling fan should be in sometime next week. Still haven't been able to weld up my support, been working too much and i cant seem to find a welder that's available on my day off. Guess Ill just have to keep prolonging the build up :sad72:

Looks like good progress, you must be eager to get the car on the road.
