    Oh man I am dying to expand on this one..... it wouldnt be proper on here though. ;)

    Anyhow I gave the MAv a good wax today and plan on driving it to work tomorrow. Not many days left to drive it here with the crappy weather coming soon. Another 2-3 weeks and she goes away. Once again I think I should move South.

    I found 4 massive rust holes 6 inches long and 4 wide in my engine bay.. (only part of my car I didn't restore) bu I'm there now, they had them completely filled with bondo good thing I took at all down to bare... Looks like the fenders are coming off! Hopefully they ain't hard to line back up. holes are on either side of the towers up at the fenders

    Thats a real common place. They rotted out in that spot up here really bad with the salt. Easy fix though once the fenders are off. Tape the edges of your fenders so you dont chip them.

    Are the fenders easy to hang back on? I'm nervous about lining them up by myself after I do the work

    They're not hard to line up. As mentioned, put tape on all of the edges to protect them. I put paint sticks in the door gaps to make them even.

    Attempted to spray it down with the pressure washer. Too bad the pressure washer broke. Made a list of all the front end parts I need.
    Gonna have to be woking some overtime to buy them.
