Well, yes. She made a good point. The car runs solid. Everything works great and is mechanically sound. She then reminded me that my sister works for a jvs and my sister has said great things about their autobody program. Well, they do bodywork for free and you just pay for parts. It's all supervised and it's free labor. I don't care how long it takes for them to fix it. It's a great solution.Quote:

So here's what I've decided after many conversations with family and friends. If the jvs can't do it, I'm going to put the car up for sale. To go along with selling my car, I will also sell my dirt bike so I can get some extra cash to buy the next car. That's only if the school won't fix it though.
How are the rear strut towers?
Already fixed lolQuote:

I know, that's the one thing I don't like about getting rid of it. However, I have no time or know how to do that myself.Quote:

Well, the local jvs said they should be able to do it! So the car will most likely live on!

True that. As long as it's good work!Quote:
