Well I got her home. Here us a little background. I was told about this car by a buddy. Story is the car is (was) a one owner car. Lady was driving it, got a bad shake up front. Was told it was a front strut. So her old man jacks up the front pulls the strut and can't figure out to to put it back together. Claims its outside his realm of automotive intelligence lol. I'm not sure what the issue was. They had bought a set of the preloaded Monroe strut/springs. So the car sits with 118k miles on it for 8 months. They decide they are tired of looking at it so for 500 bucks and 30 min of wrenching the car is on my trailer. Along with 300 bucks in parts.
Now to the ugly..... car has maybe 4 quarter size hail dents. The back bumpers clear coat has bubbled (almost looks like it was burned) the rear passenger window falls (thus the speed tape) and I don't think the strut was what was causing the original shake. The CC boot on the passenger side is torn and was hanging unsupported for the 8 months she was apart. I've never delt with a front wheel drive car before so I don't know....but with everything back together there is about .5 inch of movement on the tire. Hopefully that's the CC joint. All in all the car needs a good wash wax Vaccum and shampoo. Rear window rework brakes and a couple tires but I think for a grand or so she should (hopefully) be rolling down the road
Sorry the pics suck been in the garage with crappy light
