picked up the new front valance today, gonna have to send it back. come to find out the frame is pushed in about half an inch on the right hand side, so the car's gonna get parted and scrapped. hopefully i'll get enough from it to buy a new one.

too much effort to match everything back up. better off (and cheaper) to just get a whole new one

besides, the engine that's currently in the car has compression issues, it's flat, but low. better off looking elsewhere and maybe building this motor as an overbore.
