Default OH GOOD LORD HELP ME !!!!!!
I tore the front wheels off this car for the first time since i have owned the car. The front end is a big collection of rust from strut to control arm. For my first Father/Son project I sure picked a real chore. Thank God I get hella discounts at most of the partsstores in the area.
