Like so
      I had the MIG rig setup on it. I took a picture of the rig before I changed tips (I sent that to my girl friend, she was not amused by Darth Welder). I used a 25%Co2 and 75% argon mix. And thanks for the compliment. I will be going through and cleaning up all those welds and put a new coat of pain over them.

      I finally got the front shocks on the car. I need to do a lot of adjustment once I get everything back together. I have that kit for years, and I am glad that I finally got it on the car.

      Now that's cool. I am not sure what in hell is that design. I almost think it's like a Donny Darko Rabbit Head. At least it's cool looking. Did you paint that your self?

      1) I'm envious that you're still working your car outside. Outdoor repair season ended about a month ago for me!

      2) Welding: I've got a cheap wire feed welder that works OK for occasional use. By the time the job is nearly done, my welds are starting to look decent. And then the welder goes away again until the next task, at which time I've forgotten everything and have to figure it out all over!

      Tonight fixed the broken stud on my left front hub. After pulling the knuckle off and popping the hub, I suspect the bearing is messed up. So going to order a new one, so I can take it all apart again (again).

      I got new pads coming tomorrow, YEAH! Soon I will start assembling everything back together. So tonight I cleaned up the rear wheels and got them on the car.

      My head lights came in today. They are the black background projector head lights. Bummer the left front headlight bracket was broken the same way the F'ng deer broke my left front as well.

      Others on this board had mentioned issues with getting things lit well. One guy took and LED strip and slid it into the channel for the eye brow. I am going to do a how to on wiring and installing these guys. Mine have the HID light kit that came with them. So that's a bit more work. I also will have to figure out how to get around the Daylight Driving Module.

      I have a friend with an 06 corola that said he just clipped a few wires since they daylight module doesnt have a fuse, he found a how to on the corola forums but i dont know if it would be the same.

      on your car, you just unplug the DRL module on the firewall. DRLs go out, everything else works like it should.
