On the back side get some fibermesh drywall joint tape and put the flexible putty over it. It will never let go at that point.

I wonder if ksports will go this low?

Wow turtle overload! I think I started tripping for a second there... Laughing

by **SVT3658** 2011-07-29, 7:27 am

I definitely did Shocked

I need to yank my endlinks out, I have a weird clunk/bounce and I think it's because they're so damn short. Other than that, holy shit I love driving my car again. Now all i need is to fix the AC and Josie will actually ride in my car again Laughing

by NorCalFocus 2011-07-29, 10:12 am

LOL I know what you mean. My wife isn't looking forward to a 6 hour drive to LA with no AC. I may get it charged up before then.

You are here sporadically and I sometimes forget what your username currently is Laughing

No photographes until rust is taken care of, adjustable stuff is installed, smaller tires are put on, car is dumped, and car is aligned

Why not get pictures in the meanwhile. I don't want to wait for ever for pictures.

by jpdavis 2011-07-30, 9:09 pm

Hey Josh I know this is really random but on ur first page u had auto up and down switchs for the window.. Do u know what it would take to get the working? Thanks man

by **SVT3658** 2011-07-30, 11:11 pm

You need a complete euro wiring harness, unfortunately Sad

by jpdavis 2011-07-30, 11:15 pm

Oh so its a pain in the ass..would the euro harness fit in the american version? Or would u have to completely change eveything

by **SVT3658** 2011-07-31, 12:04 am

Allplugs are different, nothing is even close to fitting.

In other news I just dropped Rob off and as I was headed up the onramp onto 95 to go home my shift linkage took a shit. 30 mile drive hom using only 4th gear? Gonna be fun when I have to get off the highway....

by NorCalFocus 2011-07-31, 12:06 am

You need a new hamster.

by glowin3232 2011-07-31, 1:00 am

LOL hows that drive coming along Josh?

by **SVT3658** 2011-07-31, 1:41 am

It fucking sucked. I ended up finishing off my fender too, its totally fucked up. I fixed it 3 times, and cut the shit out of my tire in the process. UGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

35 min drive took well over an hour

by glowin3232 2011-07-31, 1:49 am

by Kenzx3 2011-07-31, 1:50 am

Dislike, need to pull yo fenders!

OR change to a lower profile tire

by **SVT3658** 2011-07-31, 10:37 am

Fender WAS pulled and flared. Tire is a low profile.

It's because I actually drive my car low.

Actually it's a cheap aftermarket fender and won't hold a roll/pull. It keeps sucking back in after I form it

by NorCalFocus 2011-07-31, 1:29 pm

Josh, get another OEM fender of any color and sticker bomb it until you get a silver one.

by trailbikerider 2011-07-31, 2:41 pm

I have a Chinese fender on my passenger side from when I had a deer hit me, and it holds my roll just fine Dunno

by MiSVT1893 2011-07-31, 4:03 pm

Once that shit gets bent inward its never the same even on the stock fenders. It'll just keep doing it over and over. I can't even count how many times mine was bent inward. I could kick mine in with my foot then pull it right out it was so flimsy.

by **SVT3658** 2011-07-31, 8:55 pm

Yeah.

I found a couple silver fenders listed on car-part.com in a local junkyard, gonna call tomorrow to see if they actually have them and how much they are (price is unlisted)

Probably going to just cave and buy new tires this week so I don't fuck up my new fender also.

I need a fender roller so I can roll my "new" one when I get it....can anybody help?

by Sasquatch 2011-07-31, 8:58 pm

Josh, theres always the good old use VW lug wrench method we use

by ajung7 2011-07-31, 9:20 pm

hey josh do you think if i were to buy that frpp kit you were tellin me about id have to roll my fenders or anything like that?

by **SVT3658** 2011-07-31, 9:44 pm

I'd rather not do that to fender I'm going to spend ~75-100 bucks on

Probably not, but it wouldn't be a bad idea

70 bucks. Needs a little love, but it was 30 bucks cheaper than a new unpainted one from Steve and its already silver. Some time massaging it and some time buffing/polishing it and hopefully it will look good as new. Don't care if anybody could've gotten one cheaper. I live in Jax, this is the best fender I could find, and I'm fine with the price i paid.

Also got a new battery tray, as mine is cracked and sagging badly

by Ahuzen 2011-08-02, 9:45 am

i paid $50 for mine so that price is about right. finding one in your color saves a lot of money in the long run anyways

just hope you never have to price a set of doors Laughing

nah, i picked up a set when i went up to Carlisle in the F150. got them from Aducarab along with a few other parts.

by trailbikerider 2011-08-02, 2:43 pm

You better hope the shade of silver matches!

by **SVT3658** 2011-08-02, 3:41 pm

if it doesn't...who cares. It's not like the fender matches now Laughing

The fender is off a 2003 CD Silver wagon...so hopefully the silver is close. But like I said...if it doesn't match, whatever. It'll look a shitload better than the dull, dark, crushed fender does now

by NorCalFocus 2011-08-02, 6:13 pm

I could have gotten you a fender for $40 plus shipping Josh. You wasted your money Evil Grin

lol. Does crazy rays exist in Cali too?

by NorCalFocus 2011-08-02, 7:44 pm

Its crazy Jose's here homie.

by **SVT3658** 2011-08-02, 8:42 pm

Meh. This place does nothing but ford/lincoln/mercury, and they pull the part for you...which was nice because I got it on my way to class and didn't have to lug tools with me, get dirty, or get sweaty.

And shipping a fender from Cali can't be cheap

by Kenzx3 2011-08-02, 9:11 pm

Crazy Rays does the same thing here with their cars, they basically go to auctions and if the car is cheap enough it gets bought and put in the yard. They just don't pull from Insurance Auto Auctions or Copart style auctions, I've seen their trucks at Manhiem before too.

Thats partially why Crazy Rays has some dope finds like that Merkur XR4ti a month ago.

by NorCalFocus 2011-08-02, 10:22 pm

I'm sure it wouldn't have been.
