The car is back on the road. Running as it was before.

All told, I spent $5k.

At $1,200, I spent more than I should have getting the radiator support welded into the car. There weren’t too many shops interested in taking that project on.

I spent $1,600 in paint and another $1,200 in repairs at a Jag specialist I trust. They fixed a bent differential cage, found and repaired a coolant leak, replaced the AC belt the welder broke, replaced a rear muffler I provided, which included monkeying around with the attached exhaust pipes and mount I also supplied, replaced bent transmission mount and straightened some chassis mounting points.

Throw in another $1,000 in parts....which, frankly, I feel I got for free. A bumper cover, hood, fender and radiator support for $600! Then a bunch of odds and ends for the other $400. I’m not including the $450 I spent getting the radiator recored, because it was probably due, even though the core was destroyed. (Luckily, the radiator ends we’re still pristine.)

All told, it was a long two months of not having the car. Everything took longer than expected and I missed the fact that my hood had an extra pair of holes for a stupid leaper AND growler. WTF? I’m not gonna argue over which ONE is better, but for the love of God, please, let’s stick with ONE freaking hood ornament!

Vee,

Glad all is well!!!

Not sure how this would affect me if mine was taken?

Is this the same 96 that you referrenced about seat covering??
