The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.

Does anyone know if 1g Integra front disks will fit under a 13" wheel?  ph34r.gif

thanks!

they will clear the rim, but you could have trouble depending on the spokes. as long as they don't have a steep angle it will be fine.

i hate the wasp nests. tring to strip my parts car and build the race car i have killed 10 wasps and about 12+ nests. there still are some on the car but i cant figure out how to get them out. 2, one in each exterior mirror, and then in the rocker on the drivers side.
the parts car they love the engine bay.

i was going to town with a screwdriver and a hammer trying to get the sound deadening material up when i found this sad.gif :



and used a screwdriver to punch out a little more of the Driver's side:


The good news is that seems to be it, i dont expect any more suprises like this.

I firmly believe that it's still perfectly fixable, but it is a little disheartening...

my car was just about as bad as yours (if not a little worse, there were 2 1' long holes in the low spot behind each seat). but even with my little sheet metal work it came out as nice as i would hope without welding. mine ran as far back as the trunk release mechanism.

keep your hopes up. youve gotten off to a great start.
