Fresh Coopers and a Front End Alignment Today!

[JG71B]

Still a ways to go but, in the home stretch! I've had this car 15 years, I never drove it before, not one time. Been wrenchin, blockin, paintin, buffin, beatin, breakin, bitchin, bleedin and mf'in for three summers straight.... I finally got to take this bitch around the block and drive it for the first time today. Haven't felt that in that same 15yrs. Right up there with gettng a fine POA! What a feelin...worth every arguement Ive ever had with my wife about keepin it.

Looking great! Congrats. Glad you were able to stay with it and get this far.

But now a question. How can you do and alignment with so much weight missing from the front of the car? I see a couple hundred pounds missing don't I? And that will change camber.

Its goin back next week after everything is back on and all is getting double checked anyway. I just needed it driveable to get it out of the way here and be able to drive it a couple miles to the exhaust shop and back to his place. I went to manual steering and it was a bitch tryin to move it around with everything out of whack. Now that its straight it feels like my 04 Accord. It'll be fine til then. A couple miles down the road wont hurt anything
