Hey Micheal was it hard? what is tha easiest way 2 tackle this?I kno this question has prolly been asked a million times..... sorry

Re: Tha deal of a lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Actually it was my first time ever doing anything like this. honestly it wasn't too bad. the other member that I got the 81 parts from gave me a hand to make sure everything went smoothly. So if you've got a buddy to help thats good if not it will just take alot longer. Also I highly recommend that you make sure the parts match. that's why we laid them out in the yard to compare every bolt hole in the radiator supports. I did have to cut a small 3inch notch out of the passenger side for the condesor lines. just keep track of your bolts as your taking them off. I started with the hood, then the grill and light bezels, then the bumper the the little shield plate in between the bumper and radiator then removed all the radiator bolts across the top and the 3 down each side of the inner part of the fenders. The toughest bolts are at the bottom of the radiator core support. mine were rusted and we made a lunch time beer run to the parts store to get new bolts.
Then put everything back together and cut the wiring for the lights and match color for color to hook lights back up. I still need to finish my bumper lights but you wont have those. Then make sure your new lights are working and leveled out. good to go.

Re: Tha deal of a lifetime!!!!!!!!
 

while we are on the subject....
I tend to ignore your posts Mr.Scary
it is so very annoying, to me, to read your shorthand, guess it is one of my pet peeves. If you have something worth saying, why not type it out completely?
just by your demeanor, and your shorthand, I assume you are a young guy? Is proper grammar too "uncool" for you? Take some pride in your posts.

just my $0.02
rant over :ito:

please don't take this as an attack on your character, because it most certainly isn't.

Re: Tha deal of a lifetime!!!!!!!!
 

i c u dnt like shorthand :lol:
