    ^^ I agree wholeheartedly. I went to the shop today and got the struts set properly, so I'm going to go give her a bath in a bit, then I'll post up some clean pictures. It looks really good with the level on.

    As for the diff. 3500 to repair, and it has the potential to be less because they might be able to reuse some parts. However I I'm going to see what I can find an axle for at a junkyard, and if its not too expensive to buy one I'll just do the swap myself. If its going to be pretty expensive, I'm thinking I might call it quits on the repairs.

    In all honesty, I never really thought to ask. I just heard "3500" and thought a lot of bad words. All I was told was that they recommended a complete overhaul. I'll check out the receipt for the inspection and see if it says anything on it.

    Ya, like I said, I never thought about it. I was about 97% sure it was f-ed anyways, so when they told me I just went with it. But i just called, and the mechanic said he didn't know what exactly was wrong with it... Soooo..... ya. He got a quote for what it would cost to replace everything, but isn't exactly sure what needs fixing (they got a quote from a different shop, don't have tools for this job). But that doesn't exactly reassure me in the quality of the mechanics I've been seeing... hmmm. Oh well, on to pictures

    Some scavenger hunt pics (before level)

    Bug deflector is coming off on my next set of days off if I figure out what to do about the diff. Gonna have to do something with those fog lights wires too. I didn't realize they hung out that much. Hooray zipties.
