The streetkiaz.com Facebook group has told me my best bet would be go to the junkyard and look for the entire assembly from any Sephia or a 2000-2004 Spectra. That sounds risky as the bearings seem to fail around 100K

I still plan on going tomorrow with a can of PB blaster and going back the following day to actually turn a few wrenches... I'm really fortunate work is so slow at the moment. (catch 22) I actually have free time to work on this and keep it as cheap as possible.

Sorry this build thread has been so slow...
I have been taking my time doing things....

So now I have my finances in order and things are going good (fair) for me money wise.
When I started this thread I was in serious debt and I have used ecomodding as a tool to save money and have moved out of a house with roommates I didn't want to live with to my own place again.

Now ecomodding is a hobby and more funds will be put towards it!

I am still in the R&D stage of the boattail but I WILL make one! I will promise that!
hopefully in time for the green grand prix in april..

Based on the progress of this thread so far you would have a safe bet to say NO!
But Its all good! I love this lil' KIA and there is nothing I can't fix without a little $$$, blood, sweat and tears.

I would also like this car to be stable / reliable enough to visit family in TN!!



Thanks MetroMPG I will call a few shops tomorrow and ask If they can do the work needed. It would save me alot of time and a few headaches If a shop could do the heavy lifting!!!
