>>14720101
>Bought car
>Had all the plans to mod it and make it awesome

>have car that needs modding to not be boring
>no money to mod it now
Atleast I'm not making payments...
>>14720305
>rustang already needs new hood struts
>>14720308
What can I say, I wanted the stainless ones that were $30 more than plain black and I sure didn't want the cheaper ones that mount using a giant ugly bracket. Better to buy once and cry once than cheap out and be disappointed every time I look at then.
>>14720359
They don't come with struts, they come with a prop rod.
>>14720308
>buy $20 chink struts

Battery terminal bolts. They had 19 left so I went and picked it up. Cost me $1.50

Front axles for my car. Cost me 55 bucks each. Was the first real job I've done on my car. The most complicated thing I've done before that was replacing my bumpers.
Last thing I bought was a set of wheels, but they haven't come yet. $500 shipped to the house, weighing 18lbs.
>>14720580
That's on the cheap side for a prebuilt
>>14721015

Bought a new steering rack and wheel bearings for my Golf.
Had to order air cleaners from Sweden for the carbs on my Volvo. Every auto shop I went to in my city hasn't even heard of SU carbs.

>What's SU?
>Boomer parts guy talks to me like I'm retarded
Why must life be so hard
Headliner and some interior molding for my turdgen.
I have to say, after having gotten used to driving around without a headliner, putting the new one in is like having new car.
>Last bought
New tyre
>Last worked on
Changed a flat
I still need 2 more tyres, I was going sideways constantly in the heavy rain. Hektic, but illegal as hell. Gonna rotate my tyres today if I can be bothered and get new ones on Monday
I got an Eibach sway bar (see red). Installed it today. Felt nice in the corners. When I was removing the Exhaust, it was stupidly heavy, I actually took an hour off the installing the sway bar looking for local listings of exhaust systems on Craigslist.
>>14720101
Just bought some coolant, old bitch was low.
I just battled the rear diff cover on the 1500. Spent more time on the damn fill plug than anything else. Wish I had a nicer one laying around.

I pulled a hub off of a wrecked forester for my Liberty/Legacy and bought a new ball-joint for when I replace the CV Axle (old hub was well and truly seized on).
Outside of that I also pulled this steering wheel off of that forester, as my old one was fucked and falling apart.
