I know. Just considering all paths of least resistance before going the private route. Just don't like dealing with the majority of private buyers. IE) waste of time low ballers just looking for a joy ride.

I'd trade it but all the cars I want are out of state.

A requirement of the purchase price as a deposit before a 'test' drive usually slows down the joyriders....

I got lucky I didnt deal with that too much, I broke it down as to what I actually did to the car, and the costs, and pretty much held my own to get what I felt was fair and right.

I wouldnt even do that, I'll take them for a ride.. they can poke and prod all they want, but no test drives until i've switched over the titles.

If the guy seems legit I'll ride with him, but no way in hell I'm letting it go without my supervision.

Going home and throwing the car back up on stands. Hopefully have the bumper removed and screwing with thing. Tomorrow will be the true test to see if i can fix whatever the hell I did to the headlights and hood.

Good luck. I think there's a couple bumper/headlight removal DIYs floating around the forum too. It's pretty straight forward though.

Hood struts have nothing to do with alignment, that's all hinge. The struts also ride in ball sockets so there wouldn't be any tension at all to negate alignment.

Rep with gusto.

So the issue is def with the headlight housing. When I took out the bolts supporting it to move it around, I could greatly fill the gap between the hood and light. But the moment I put everything and together, the gap is their. I have no way to tighten these headlight bolts anymore without risk of damaging them.

So is it a body issue at this point??
