so i got my driveshaft out of my car last night the front u joint was completely wasted. 2 sides of it under the caps was nothing but dust and melted metal. so i got that fixed took the car down the road and no more then 100ft my hood flew up and bashed the cowl all the way in, smashed the wiper trans. and arms, cracked my fiberglass hood. im constantly fixing one thing just to break another. im so tired of this car.

 

why would you be tired of fixing your car? you ****ed up. do you have hood pins? if not when you got your new hood did you adjust your latch so your hood latched correctly? i would be not.

 

yea i had it all latched down it was all good. but the fiberglass ripped at the latch assy. i mean it is my fault cuz i neglected to get hood pins just to be sure but still its just one thing after another. i still have to do the clutch and rear.

 

sorry to hear that... I know at times it can be frustrating, but I personally enjoy working on my car...

 

Me too, but not body work, that just sucks.

 

yea i dont mind it either but its been since i bought the car ive put something on it or done something to have to work on it. i just need more money and some more tools then i wont care so much. any body know what all i need to take off to get the steel part of the cowl off? thanks

 

yeah body work does suck haha...

 

i've seen adder answer this question before. heknows more about that than I. but i can tell you that not all of them come off. you might have to cut n weld to fix it but im sure adder or someone can tell you for sure.

 

btw......where did you buy your hood? that way i know what not to buy....the fact that it ripped out of the fiberglass i think warrents the company to pay for the damages. thats manufacture defect. you might want to look into it, you might get lucky at least...

 

yea i wish i could but i didnt buy it. it was on the car when i bought it. its like 2 yrs old. its definitly a cheap one. i had a cervinis for my 04 and the quality was like 10x better.
