^Ugh I hate people, they would hit the one part of the car that was metal wouldn't they. I guess that's what happens when cars are just appliances to most people and they're an inconsiderate arschloch.
I've decided I want the W68 ground effects kit, now it's just a matter of finding it.
CoreyD. That is a pretty hard hit. Wow. Disgusting. I feel your pain. I always try to park in a way that it will be really hard for anyone to be able to get to those flanks.
Boxx I still have the rear lip from mine when it was a w68 car, already painted black.
If I can find the front splitters first maybe we can arrange something. Since the splitters are the rarest piece, being one year only in my instance, I'd like to have those first before buying the other pieces. I would decide on wanting something rare wouldn't I.

That's what kills me too. I'm very particular about where/how I park, always away from everyone, or in a spot at the end of a row, etc., and I haven't had a problem in the ~7 years I've had her, but it figures the one time I do it's this bad.
Finally fixed my return line fuel leak. While I had the valve cover off I figured I'd clean it up and I never realized how shiney they were I always thought they were satin finished passenger side is untouched in the pics. Got the cover back on and went to start her up for the first time in a year. Fired right up and even better I resolved my o2 problem. Stand alone harness had its own fuse relay and one of the o2's fuses was popped. Just need to put my steering wheel and column back in and some fresh gas and I can finally dial in my ridetech coilovers
Changed power steering fluid out for Red Line synthetic, seems a little easier to steer but was done more so to finish upgrading the fluids in the car in prep for autocross.
Here In IL it hit 60 degrees today so I pulled the cover off and some friends and I (buddy has a lift at his house!) went at changing, checking, flushing, filling every fluid in the damn thing. And put in Mobil 1 oil filter and new fuel filter. Also have a few things mechanically I'm looking to do so we started them and got the passenger window motor and regulator (new Dorman) in. And then washed it! Looks great and feels/runs fantastic. Now I have a driver side window to do and the two headlight motors left then onto some detailing of the interior and exterior.
Finally gathered the motivation and did engine mounts, swapped to poly's. Old rubber ones only had 48k on them but still being almost 20 years old and was tired of exhaust hitting the floorpan. Also replaced radiator hoses, did power steering cooler delete, pulled the starter to upgrade to the safer truck starter, and installed the hotwire kit for the racetronix pump I installed a few months back.
Weather was perfect - new battery installed so it would actually start.
