AndrewJ , thanks for the help with strut information.

On a different topic - your cars engine temperature. From your previous posts, I am assuming thet you actually drove your car several miles and ... gasp even up a small mountain with the grill completely blocked.
Have you checked your oil lately ? It must be completely burt by now !
What does the engine temperature read when you are driving like this ?
Also, how do you drive in rush hour traffic ?
I see that you now have a small hole for the radiator ( clever idea with your throttle cable mod. )
How often were you smelling fumes from the radiator ?

I'm guessing that the only thing that saved your engine was that you did not have a belly pan installed to trap all of that heat in.

I am looking very forward to your next mods - especially any involving that spoiler.
