all parts the car needs are as follows;
rear drum assembly (with bearing pressed in)
front left outer tie rod end (I'm gunna have canadian tire do this)
stabilizer bar endlinks ~ what ones should I get?
body shield ~ there's apparently 3 pieces to this?
front bumper cover, grill, fog light ~ already have a bumper lined up, just need grill and fog lights.
lower rad support needs to be bent forwards because it's currently pushed back and is slightly pinching a rad hose (it goes up as an L but it looks like a < now)
an alignment
any extra hardware that i might need
Anyone got any recommendations? I am skipping changing my AC Condenser, its bent not cracked or broken.
Also, I have a haynes manual. I don't know how much that will help when it comes to things like bending a rad support or replacing the body shield. Has anyone ever done either and can give me tips?
I haven't been able to find a place yet to do the work to my car but I'm thinking I might try and use the underground parking garage at school - its heated and there's power plugs down there that may have power (I'd check this before hand. Didn't have anything on me at the time when I was there).
Anyway, I wanna get this stuff done with sooner than later.
