I haven't posted in a while and here is why. On the way to the alignment shop, less than a mile from the shop, an elderly lady turned left in front of me and I couldn't stop in time. Prior to this is was an original paint/original sheet metal car.

This comes after installing a freshly rebuilt 8.8 out of a 95 Mustang, UMI rear control arms, rebuilding the A-arms with urethane bushings and urethane sway bar bushings and shock mounts. Yellow Koni shocks with Mach 1 coil springs. I swapped in the Mustang spindles in the front with new wheel bearings, urethane rack mounts, new inner and outer tie rods ends. I rebuilt all of the Mustang calipers with new rotors and pads. I finally got to bolt on the wheels that took 6 months to get here and after an at home alignment job I drove it about 100 miles before this happened. Now I'm in a battle with her insurance company to not total the car.
It really isn't that bad and could easily be fixed. I pulled the front fender out and drove the car home, it doesn't leak anything.
Here is what it looked like right after I finished it. I think it could have come down a little more but it was an improvement. The car rode and drove amazing and I was really looking forward to getting a proper alignment and being able to drive the thing.
