That stinks I hope it works out for you.

SupaRookie

shit! I was going to ask you what happen...Damn man. Fix that shit when you get some money, if not, let me know if you plan to part out. I think I need some stuff.

Look on the bright side, your family still got you.

Sad to hear.... eventually it would have happened though. Yours is of a rare breed and now its out of commission....

MurkyRiversTL

replaced lower control arm, and sway bar end link. I was able to drive it to my other friends house where were going to remove the lower front crossbeam and bend it straight..... or atleast attempt to.

id worse comes to worse, ill have to buy the new crossbeam at 150 bucks. I can afford it now, but I would rather try to fix the existing one. since its still bent back, the torsion bar is pushed back and its causing the wheel to be pushed back which is completely fucking with the alignment. so after I try to bend it straight and im succesful, ill go get the alignment done.

I still need a fender, but that I can deal with later. I can roll fenderless for a while.

and since I put my brothers 3G rims on the back tires are rubbing so I have to roll those tabs in.

so that's my little update.....in case you guys were wondering how things were going.

I was actually. Careful with that bent steel, you know how it is. Seems to lose some strength sometimes.

MurkyRiversTL

its driveable now, just not very good. yeah I know about steel. im not sure how succesful well be, but its worth a shot at saving 150. were doing that today after work so ill let you guys know.

Well just get the mechanics working for now. A few dents arent that big a deal if you are short on gas. As long as the car gets you from A to B.

Yay

MurkyRiversTL

its still sad when I drove it last night. it just wasn't the same. I miss being able to go fast, but soon enough I will.

once its fixe im gonna take it easy for a while. no speeding....... well ill try not to lol.

hope I can get it fixed today. the crossbeam is like 80 miles away, so its gas plus 150......

MurkyRiversTL

lol.... I appreciate your excitement.

Oh and the wall still isn't fixed......... if anybody was wondering. and ill still post pics....eventually.

so you still have the 6speed , yeah?

Problem is if its not straight they will probably never get your alignment specs normal. If your radius rod is bent you should get a new one (or at least try to get a used one)

MurkyRiversTL

the radius rod, or what I've been calling the torsion link, is not bent. the only things that got bent were the lower control and the cross beam... oh and that little tow attachment underneath. the sway bar link snapped in half, and the rim snapped in half.

so if I can get it straight it should be fine, or at most id have to get a new crossbeam..... and alignment.

DTPTL

pics please

MurkyRiversTL

I will try to get pics....

So I tried fixing the crossbeam and I was succesful




















at failing ..... it didt work. So I have to go buy the new/used part.... Oh well it was worth a shot.

body shop wont fix the crossbeam

MurkyRiversTL

^nah... it twisted steel.. plus if I wanted a body shop to do it, it would prolly cost more than 150 .

bibledriver

Well, not to be the downer, but I am glad you failed at that. I was a bit worried about the strength of it and your safety.

MurkyRiversTL

well I found a cheaper one locally, but its from a 99 accord. should be the same. ill find out after work.
