Well...the worst happened (not the worst)
pretty F**ked up though.
remember the pics of that pretty paint job w/ the sweet fix on the nasty crack the hood hinges made?
I attached the new hinges just like factory. 2 weeks later (today) I lifted the hood 2 inches...
TWO M***ER F****NG INCHES!!!! and sNaP!! CrAcK!!! I felt my heart sink into my stomach and I almost crapped myself in rage and disbelief.
same hinge pops and cracks the paint in the same place.
I could have seen it coming. Ah well...The paint guys said they'd fix it and install hood pins and not charge me too much and even offered to paint my GT grant steering wheel to match the car for free!
Nice guys. I also manage to reconnect the pedal assembly and the car started right up after sitting there for a month! nice...I have to say I love that little piece of S**T with all my heart. You just can't give up on your bug no matter what happens to it. It's like my little German mechanical child.
Man...I'm one sick boy.
I wasn't thrilled about adding hood pins, but I'd rather just avoid any more headaches with that hood.
