On closer inspection it's not cracked, just scratched. When I change door speakers I'm going to try to pop dent out then find a touch up pen to fill scratches.

 

Ordered new strut mounts, new motor mounts, and my dad works in a machine shop, he's gonna have the plates to go above and below where the strut mounts to fix and prevent further mushrooming of the strut tower made for me.

 

Nice to have a machine shop handy!!

It's really good that the paint wasn't cracked... makes the dent fix easier and way less expensive. I would try to find a professional dent remover... they do pretty great work since it does take quite a bit of practice and patience to move the metal back without further deformation. Easy to push a dent out and stretch the metal skin. It just depends how deep the dent is.

 

So my door locks were randomly unlocking themselves this morning. I figured from reading I had a wet bc1, upon popping some trim off to access it I found some wires half @$$ spliced together, just cut twisted and taped going into the plug that controls the locks and windows. Ended up spending my morning when I should have been asleep (I'm working overnight shift currently) re wiring my ignition and that one bc1 plug, and pulling this monster out. It was rooted into the car like a bad tumor.

Doing some research and google-ing I found out it is a remote start and keyless entry alarm system made by Viper. I did not receive the remote for it, so out it came. Boy was that fun. Fingers crossed locks seem to be fixed now.

 

OH no , someone tried to fix it before or something. :(

 

Hey ECS, I sent you a private message a couple days ago, I ordered a short shifter from your site. I was wondering if you knew the thread measurements so I could go ahead and order a shift **** as well.
