He goes to Monmouth University and commutes. So he’s pulling out of the lot and he gets on it. Hits some loose gravel, looses control, over compensates a fish tale, 180s the car off the road over a curb and LCA pivots tear their connection to Above mentioned K frame. No serious body damage, just 2 paint bruises the size of a quarter. The car is slated to go back to the paint shop to fix a few other nicks from assembly and a few their guy put in the door edge when they swapped in new hinge pins recently. The guy who
Painted my car four years ago still works there and did a great job blending the color and clear when I re did the gutter caulk after the whole car was painted. That is the plus side of
Non metallic paint and keeping the car in a garage under a cover when not
In use. No fade from the sun!
Fast forward to today and I buy a tubular K Frame from Jegs. DAMN IT!!
