July 10th: I ordered a header panel and a bumper reinforcement for $210 together which i figure is one hell of a deal. I will have them put on soon, but foolishly i ordered those parts without getting the front impact absorbers....so i cant bolt on the bumper reinforcement without them. But i will ask around for those soon enough. I will also have pics up here soon enough. lol, atleast i think i will.
July 11th: Today my parts came in and I was suprised to find out that they ordered me an LX bumper cover also. I was really thinkin about gettin a GT but this will do. So i got the bumper cover, headlight panel and bumper reinforcement for $256.14. Tomorrow i am going to autobody supply to see if they have the bolts i will need and if they can find me a pair of front impact absorbers.
July 12th: Today I got a hood and the impact absorbers i needed. The hood is grey and looks really good with the red, lol. But the impact absorbers are two years away from the type that mine are. So i need to make a bracket to hold them in place. but all that cost me $130.

This is the new headlight panel and the reinforcement to the right of it.
Here is the radiator support after we pulled the rest out, it needs a little more work, but for now it looks almost like new, lol.
Here is a comparison of the old hood with the new one i got.
The front impact absorbers, I need to make a bracket behind the front piece to hold them in, so that has put a halt on my progress because my dad (being so much unlike me) has nothing but a car jack for his automotive collection. So I have to find someone with a welder, so I can get the show on the road.
And here is what happens when I get bored....i bring out some of my artistic talent. So i painted the horse, lol. It doesnt look too bad, but then again I used a red and black marker so how badly could i possibly mess it up, lol.
July 25th: Today I got the impact absorbers welded together and put in place, they held as well as they are gonna have to. Tomorrow i get to fix the support some more.
July 26th: The impact absorbers are in and the front reinforcement is in place! Tomorrow I buy some bolts and nuts and put the header panel and bumper cover on.
