I've heard the clutch gets real spongey when the tube breaks like that. Did you have that problem? Yeah lets see the front end.

Yes, now that you mention it, the clutch pedal seems much softer than on my beige car. Will be interesting to see if this fixes it or not.
Front end? It's not done yet. Started, but not done. (not Dunn either)

Finished straightening the nose today. That porta power is amazing. Here are some photos:    And the spare tire even fits.  I installed the hood seal and adjusted the latch after these photos were taken. Seals up nice and the latch works well. There is something grabbing once the hood is released but it works. Now I need to take it for a test drive to see if it is any warmer. |

What a difference look at the first picture way back on page one. Even the bumper looks straight.
