Thanks for viewing my ride.  This is a 1988 Chevy Camaro , 305 TBI.

I originaly bought the car for 900$, it had a blown radiator, shot tires, sensors unplugged, and needed some TLC. 

Replaced the Radiator, all hoses, aquired an air dam diverter since she was overheating while cruising, which fixed the problem.

Put some new rubbers on, but unfortunantly they did not mention that my front left rim was tweaked which caused this to happen.

This is on the road, droped doing about 20 MPH.  I felt a thud thud thud, crunch, smash.

Looked to my left and seen my tire rolling down the highway at oncoming traffic.  I was luckily in the right lane when the car dropped. 

When looking at the studs, they had been snapped off, guess that bent rim got the win.

I sent it to a shop to get fixed.  1000$ later and i got my car back but wasnt happy.

I couldnt open my door very far, my car looked hidious.

Time to Fix this problem.

Put the black replacement on, like 4 different times and its still not perfect, doing things solo is not easy.

Not happy with what the mechanic fixed I decided to replace it all, get rid of that 20 year old junk.
