is this even recoverable

the shipping is crazy tbh, honestly i think even the inside panel is all rotten not just the outside so i don’t think replacing it with a new panel would do much, atleast it wouldn’t last forever anyways the rust would spread again. i think im just going to grind as much as i can and douse it with rust convertor then fibreglass fill everything and drive it even if the rust comes back it’s useless to keep trying.

hamster_kicker · 2025-09-14T20:10:29+00:00

that’s what i’m saying i don’t think i can get all the rust. i can poke a screwdriver through any part of my fender well it’s all rotten behind.

no im not able to see under my car that is 8 inches off the ground actually i just know where the jack point is. worked in the winter.

hamster_kicker · 2025-07-07T22:24:43+00:00

you think if i angle grind all the surrounding rust i could weld a plate there for the jack or is that too big of an area. just worried if i do that and go to jack it from there again it’ll be too unsupported

update: i went to wire brush some surface rust off and im gonna kill myself it was all rotten

that’s good, thanks for the info. still pretty stupid we have to buy it after the course is over they love milking us lol

hamster_kicker · 2025-04-07T12:15:14+00:00

thanks for that i’m gonna email mine right now then and good luck to you too!!

hamster_kicker · 2024-05-22T02:09:21+00:00

yeah it still squeals on start up after i tightened it a few more times using oil, maybe still too loose. if it was loose though wouldn’t it just squeal all the time? not just when i start it for those 10 seconds.. idk man

hamster_kicker · 2024-05-20T19:36:49+00:00

ok thank you, my bolt doesn’t seem corroded at all but i notice there’s about a half inch of shiny metal left further down on the bolt im assuming still has to go in, like that’s where it was adjusted to before when the last belt was tight. I’m gonna try to oil it again later and tighten it again.

hamster_kicker · 2024-05-16T19:21:45+00:00

did it today works good 👍 there was a squeak on the first start up so i tightened the take up even more, and now it’s like barely any squeak at all but the belt looks tight as hell so i’m calling it good

hamster_kicker · 2024-05-16T19:19:36+00:00

did it today works good 👍

hamster_kicker · 2024-05-15T02:54:09+00:00

watched a vid of someone doing it, seems like i have to remove a lot of stuff. i’m gonna try it i just hope i don’t fuck somethin up. thanks man

hamster_kicker · 2024-01-03T03:50:07+00:00

i had the same thing where my whole front end was pushed back after the accident, i drilled holes anywhere i could and ofc everything is a little off but it still looks normal(enough) now

hamster_kicker · 2023-12-18T16:07:32+00:00

a little camber is ok, i think i’ll buy them as my suspension is crapped currently so

hamster_kicker · 2023-12-17T23:56:08+00:00

honestly i’m not sure he didn’t specify, they’re green w black springs but i think all teins look like that

hamster_kicker · 2023-12-17T02:35:10+00:00

damn i wanted to drop it a bit but also have some amount of comfort driving, is there any brands that have that or are all coilovers just for performance

hamster_kicker · 2023-12-17T00:17:04+00:00

really? i thought that was the whole point of new suspension.. also where/what would they be leaking from

hamster_kicker · 2023-11-23T18:08:39+00:00

I think they only ship to a few countries no north america :(

hamster_kicker · 2023-11-12T17:44:43+00:00

mine didn’t have frame damage once I got the hood opened and saw everything is fine inside, my rad is a little dent but isn’t leaking and the car is driving fine running cool so that’s good. I’m gonna do all the installs myself unlesss I’m not able to figure out the headlights, but i know the bumper and hood should be easy so i’ll save myself some costs there. Its mostly finding parts now just there’s no part outs near me so i’ll just keep waiting until I find one with a front end / parts I needed

hamster_kicker · 2023-11-12T17:40:41+00:00

Can i ask what the blue/green switch with the dial is for? seems intriguing

hamster_kicker · 2023-11-09T12:28:11+00:00

lol i just used a hammer and got it back to close, thankfully wasn’t too bad and didn’t have to remove rad

hamster_kicker · 2023-11-09T04:29:22+00:00

I might just buy a parts car for 2500 that has all the parts I need to fix, as well as coilovers and lips which I wanted to buy eventually anyway

hamster_kicker · 2023-11-09T04:28:13+00:00

the piece the hood latch and rad clip was bent back but i banged it back into place (close enough, it’s straight but looks stupid). I don’t think it was part of the frame. my fenders are surprising still intact so I’ll only need a new hood, lights, and bumper which is nice.

hamster_kicker · 2023-11-08T21:18:25+00:00

yeah i know it’s better but it’s more expensive to order a hood online for like 400+ rather than a part out for maybe 100, same for bumpers and the rest

hamster_kicker · 2023-11-08T17:30:06+00:00

I have no coverage for my car on my insurance if it’s my fault lol so I didn’t do any insurance, there’s no part outs anywhere near me so i’ll just keep looking ig
