Front bumper front fenders and doors are origonals from my other car...the hood is also from the other car but is going back on it once i get a 2" daytona cowl hood for the beater. I will soon try to fix the headlights(the highbeams stopped working),then wire in the new h4 headlamps.

All in all for a $300 car its not bad, and delivering pizzas for the last 3 weeks iv make twice maybe even three times that back already.

Is this the same car you shoved into a curb in the snow and is now unsafe to drive?

Yep..had macco check it out...the guy looked at it real quick said what ever moved/shifted only moved maybe 1/4 inch if that because their wasnt much room between those lines and the steering knuckle to begin with and said he would move the brake line so it doesnt rub and just drive it.
So I have and its fine other than needing an alignment.

6 cans of black spray paint from walmart....old fenders and doors and bumper that no one was buying and my mom wanted me to take to the junk yard this weekend....+100 on wheels and tires (yes one is now damaged from that curb o well)
Total=125 bucks on top of the 300 and if I still had all 4 wheels on it, itd be badass but thats neither here nor their now.

OHHHHH my life? Honestly I dont think its dangerous to drive at all. I dont drive fast and I drive more carefully just for extra measures. Ebrake works good too.

Yep..had macco check it out......

why would you not take our advice and got to an alignment shop?

Some people just don't get it, or don't care. Obviously, and its a total waste.

I'm closing this before it becomes a complete cluster****.

Take your god damn car to a real shop to be checked, not a freaking macco. You don't want to find out something is wrong AFTER it happens. The life you take might not be your own.
