Default 8-8 was a bad day for my TA

dont really know if this goes in this section.

Here are some wonderful pix. Some ahole(s) decided to be cute and stole my hood pins and well here is what happened. It is at a safe location now (body shop). NOw I have to decide on if I am going to go with the same hood or what style hood. Anyways there are some pix on streetfire.net or my photobucket. links to both are below.

ouch! Sorry to see the pics. Next time you should wire the hoodpins with the battery. Maybe let the joker that did this think twice next time.

I would install the latch as well as the keyed or twist lock pin assemblies.

good luck getting it repaired

If you have hood pins on a daily always get locks instead of clips. Had a friend that had three pulled by some jack *** so the 4th ripped the hood in half.
