thanks to the help and support of the forum and the great people on here, i have managed to get a decent front clip back on my car. it took a lil bit of time and alot of trading around with parts and a few dollars but i've done it. it looks pretty good, just needs some minor adjusting here and there but if you look at it before and after... i think everyone will agree that its a big step in the right direction. thanks again to everyone!!! http://ford-maverick.tripod.com/id11.html
