I bought the Exploder wreck in the front with min. damage but it does need all the lights, grill, bumper & header panel! It was cheap and it is a 5.o 2wd so I had to buy it! **NEW PROJECT** WILL POST WITH BEFORE AND AFTER PICS! 

 UPDATE: 2-28-09

SOLD...  It sold before I could even finish the bumper!

AFTER... Before pictures are below!

 I STARTED FIXING THE BODY LINES AND GETTING EVERYTHING LINED UP FOR THE HEADER PANEL I BOUGHT YESTERDAY(1-2-09)! ALSO GOING TO PICK UP THE BUMPER TODAY AND ALL I NEED AFTER THAT IS THE HEADLIGHTS!!!

I TORE IT DOWN TO WHAT YOU SEE ABOVE TO GET THIS BODY LINE RIGHT! IF YOU LOOK AT THE PIC BELOW IT SHOWS THE DRIVER SIDE GAP! THE GAP ON THE PASS. SIDE WAS BIG ENOUGH TO STICK 2 FINGERS IN BEFORE I TORE IT DOWN!

 ALSO PAINTED THE INTERIOR BACK THAT WAY YOU COULD NOT SEE 13yrs OF WEAR ON THE PLASTICS AND RECOVERED THE CONSOLE BLACK.... YEA I KNOW IT DOES NOT MATCH BUT IT ONLY COST ME $2.50 TO RECOVER IT! 

FIXING THIS CHEAP IS THE KEY TO THIS BUILD! IF I CAN I WILL HAVE A $750 TOTAL IN THIS RIDE W/140K MILES!

Nice ride! Thanks for the kind words about my ride! Good luck with yours! As for the headlights, there are various DIY's on the internet on how to properly bake open your head lights. Then it is just a matter of sanding and painting then re sealing the lenses.
