So I was putting the hood on my car when I noticed part of the support system for the hood was damaged/broken.
Now I have to take the other ones off the donor car. Need to take the fenders off. Woohoo.
First picture shows the support system intact. The second is the damaged one.

So I spend about 6-7 hours Sunday morning taking apart the fenders on both cars and installing the hood support along with the hood, bumper, and headlights. This is a before and after thing. I don't have a camera so I had to take pictures with my cousin's Iphone 4 because my Galaxy S2 crapped out on me. Bummer.
Also. I didn't wash the car.

Also decided to tear apart the interior this morning.
What's interesting is the VIN is also imprinted on the frame.

This is a fun project. But dayum, you are going to be working in some heat. So, give us some details, what did you pay for the wrecked car?
If you are open to it, I could use the knobs on the climate control unit. Mine are quite worn out. I could also use the front windshield, but, I won't put the pain of shipping on you.

Ed
And as far as the whole car goes including expenses, this is the exact amount.
$3158.95 Cashier Check
$255 Deposit
$54.57 Gas for Houston
$8.41 Breakfast for Houston
$14.25 Lunch for Houston
$44.93 Gas for Dallas
Grand Total of $3536.14 if I can add properly on a calculator.

Also, do you have the parts off the old hood, the inserts with the nozzles (shown in the first pic of post #30)? If you do, I'd be interested if they're still in decent shape.

It appears the driver and passenger sunvisors are different (mirror images of each other). It appears the little door that covers the mirror on the sunvisor is interchangeable to either side. If you can get one of the doors separated from either sunvisor without breaking the little mounting ears, I'd love to have it (preferably the driver's side since it has the original warning stickers on it, but no biggie).

No real biggie if it's broken. Thanks anyway.
So that we're on the same page, here's the listing for the part on RMEuropean:

I'm talking about the insert that has the windshield nozzles attached to it. If you cracked it, bad Edgar!

So interestingly enough I lost several mpgs after putting the hood back on but I got a better acceleration in return. I guess you mileage suffers one way or another
