Sounds a lot like I should probably focus my efforts on the front end right now... lol

I need to get my front end put back together [get the nose bar and grille block in place] and add the airdam/bumper cover, both of those are fairly easy mods. I looked around under the car, don't really think a full belly pan is gonna do me as much good as the trouble to install it [other than rust management, so I may do it anyway], but I def need a skid plate under the motor area, that's terrible dirty and needs more protection anyway.

Currently, I'm riding on 185/65R15 tires, which are about 6.5% larger than the OE tire sizes. I wanna also get some pizza pans and put them over the [relatively smooth] wheels and possibly also make some rear skirts.

It's a junkyard car.. I don't really care what it ends up looking like. With 305k on it, it's due for plenty of pop riveting and scary looking mods anyway.
