No problem dude, I definitely know how much work it takes to do stuff like this. Back in high school, one of my friends swapped his auto tranny out for a stick(on his acura, not an MB, nevertheless still tough!) and I remember when his car was up on jack stands for nearly a month. We did all the work ourselves with the help of another guy who really knew what he was doing on those types of cars. It was a hell of a project, but it was very satisfying for him once it was complete just being able to see and drive the effort put into doing that much work.

Good luck with your mods man, I'll keep checking for updated pics!

Are you going to repaint your whole car? Snow must really F***** suck for cars. Looks like rust is bubbling up above your rear tire.

I can hardly wait to see the finished product! Xhale, we all know the guys you're talking about, I used to live down the street from one of them. His car was black primer with an ugly white body kit for the whole time I lived there Then again the guy who lives down the street from me now has an Acura that I don't recognize from one week to the next. He painted it last week in his garage, and it came out really nice! I think his car has been through three different transformations in the two years I've lived here.
