So let me give you a run down of my day.....
I got up bright and early to get my monte out of storage-Positive
Starts right up and drives nice all the way home-Positive
Took the factory hood off so I can fit the new one, went well-Positive

And then Carmen didnt wanna play nice anymore......

Bolted the new hood on, it was so twisted that it hit on the left headlight and the right side had a 1/2" to spare.. calling the company tom-Fail

Took that off, put the old one back on.....

Then I thought "Oh this new ceramic coated crossover pipe shouldn't take long to put in" HAHA WRONG! 3/4 Bolts snapped off like they were made of plastic-Fail

And to top off my wonderful day.... ZZP sent me the wrong front KYB-GR2 front struts and the SSC springs don't fit on them-Fail

Oh the things we do for our Beloved Montes......

 

look at the bright side the three most important things happend. also the rest were minor so at least the three most important things happend.
1. went to storage unit to get carmen
2.carmen started
3.carmen runs beautiflully
see the three things that are important ;P

 

Sorry things didn't work out perfectly.

But...

Monte running with no exhaust is annoying the neighborhood -- positive!!!

New struts and springs don't fit -- gives you opportunity to install airbag suspension.

 

Thanks guys lol, airbags would be nice but i dont like the horror stories that come with them haha

 

aww that sucks =[ but those positives of carmen starting and all should weigh out the negatives =]

 

Well, at least you got Carmen out of storage today - Precious is still in hibernation. I am probably not going to do that until the middle of April. Didn't it snow by you yesterday? It did here.

 

It snowed a bit but was gone by noon and fine to come home today

 

And Idk if the positives weighed out the negatives cuz idk what to do aboutt the hood and those exhaust studs are going to be a pain to get out

 

so whos this carmen girl?

hmhmhmhmhm

 

some hot redhead he loves. I dunno. Im a bigger fan of the brunettes. :P



Look at the bright side, at least there wasnt a rat that got into your car and ate up some wires or something. at least on this one you KNOW whats wrong... a chewed up wiring harness would leave you with a lot more problems.
