Hey all,

After finally getting back to the states I had a chance to start going through my To Do list for the teener. Well that list just got allot longer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

THe whole front end is shot and will need a bunch of work.

Anyone willing to discuss options? Replace what's there or swap out the front end? Also any tips on dropping the front end? I figure that it's easier to work on the suspension when it's out from under the car.

So 2 ball joints 2 tierod ends and struts at a minimum.
Yikes
